There are about at least 10 of them in the Puget Sound area (Seattle, Tacoma, etc.).
Ever hear of the Infiniti M30? It was the Nissan Leopard. It's closer to a Skyline than you might think. Sure, the tranny and engine and suspension are different, but if somebody really wanted one they could make one.

The new skyline will not use an inline engine because it costs too much to make a right and left hand driver version (headers have to come off pas side of the block to make room for the steering rack). This info is from a CAR magazine interview with the Nissan exec known as "MR skyline."
V6 or V8 get used to it! -ouch ouch!!!!

There's a lot of misinformation running around out there about these cars. The S13 240SX and the R32 Skyline do share a few things and some parts are interchangable, but that's because of parts bins.

Skylines are as rare as a sighting of any other exotic, Last number I heard there were 37 road legal skylines in the US.
