Efter the merger, the Skyline an its lairger coonterpairt, the [[Nissan Gloria]], wur sauld in Japan at dealership sales channels cried ''Nissan Prince Shop.''

The Skyline wis lairgely designed an ingineered bi [[Shinichiro Sakurai]] frae inception, an he remained a chief influence o the caur till his daith in 2011.
