Nissan Skyline Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1985–1989) — Seventh Generation

The seventh-generation Nissan Skyline spans Coupe, Estate 5-door, and Sedan bodies. You are looking at a rear-drive family with gasoline engines, and the selected Estate versions show how that mix worked day to day.

Nissan Skyline Engines and Transmissions

A Nissan Skyline engine here is a gasoline unit with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, so the powertrain stays simple for everyday use. Estate 5-door examples include the 1.8 MT, 1.8 AT automatic transmission, and 2.0 MT; treat those as snapshots, not the Coupe or Sedan lineup.
