Nissan Skyline V37 Series
The Japanese-market Skyline V37 includes hybrid versions as well as the later RV37 3.0L twin-turbo V6. This Australian import guide focuses on the qualifying rear-wheel-drive RV37 petrol models covered by the current specialist import approval, including the distinctive 400R. Earlier hybrids are part of the Skyline’s history but are not advertised as currently eligible under this RV37 pathway.
Factory equipment can vary substantially between an RV37 GT and a 400R. The 400R has a different engine output, braking hardware, suspension and sports interior. Confirm the manufactured variant, build date and factory options from the specific vehicle; badges or later cosmetic modifications do not establish an original 400R.

Potentially save $7,500+ importing from Japan. The supporting Australian market comparison primarily concerns the 400R.
