The Nissan Skyline R30 is the sixth generation of the Skyline, launched in August 1981 and built on a C31 Laurel platform, which brought the Skyline names into line with the home Japanese and worldwide markets. Unlike earlier generations, its four- and six-cylinder versions shared a front end of the same length. It came as a two-door hardtop coupe, a four-door sedan, a five-door Liftback offered only in this generation, or a four-door station wagon, in 26 variations in all. Engines ranged from the top 103 kW SOHC 6-cylinder turbo L20ET to the 4-cylinder Z18S and a 6-cylinder LD28 diesel, and the 16-valve DOHC FJ20 that debuted in late 1981 was the first Japanese four-cylinder with more than two valves per cylinder. Some top models had suspension dampers adjustable while driving. The range was facelifted in August 1983, and a Paul Newman Version, a GT-ES turbo with signature embroidery and decals, was released that year.
