Where were Skylines made?

[T0nyGTSt]

What city?

I know that RX7's came from Hiroshima.

And I think the NSX came from Tochigi (not sure?).

What about the 32/33/34?

yokohama i think because all chassis plates have the number 5 on them in the skylines.

AFAIK...Skylines in particular the GT-R is made from Nissan Tochigi plant. Been there and also to their test track. I know a few people who work at the plant, well pretty hard not to when nearly every person in Tochigi works for Nissan. Thus I have heard some nasty and dodgy stuff...which is why none of them own a Nissan

Well you all don't notice it, so it doesn't matter...

Basically QC issues which is no biggie unless you know, but enough to deter even their own employees. I swear these guys will not buy a Nissan, even when they can sell it at employees discounts to mates, they won't buy one. Quote: they must just not want the headache of recalls. Which luckily in Japan they are very strick on recall so really there's nothing to worry.

But here's a tip, something you guys should check before you buy any import, make sure all outstanding recalls on the car to date has been fixed FOC no matter how old. Quite often Japanese with their busy work schedule and owners changing new cars every 2-3 years...some don't bother to take the car back to get defects fixed. Sell it and let whoever buys it next deal with it.

Unless there are complete papers with the car to say a recall defect has been fixed you will have to call up Nissan. Usually when you register the car in Japan, the department of transport will cross check the compliance plate with their database and inform the owner if there are any outstanding recalls.

If you want to check for defect notice it's on the Nissan Japan website (Japanese only), don't freak when you see the number of recalls...Japan is that strick. In general this information is provide by all makers on their website.
