The Nissan Skyline R31, launched in 1981, marked a significant departure from its predecessors. This fifth generation of the iconic Skyline model represented a bold shift in design philosophy, moving away from the boxy, angular styling of its ancestors and embracing a more aerodynamic and refined aesthetic. The R31 was available in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, coupe, and wagon, appealing to a broader range of consumers. Underneath the sleek exterior lay a robust platform with both front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) options, emphasizing the car's versatility and aimed at capturing a diverse market. While the iconic "Hakosuka" and "Kenmeri" Skylines had captivated enthusiasts with their performance and motorsport prowess, the R31 was positioned as a more mainstream vehicle, offering a blend of luxury, comfort, and practicality.

Beyond its evolutionary design, the R31 introduced several notable technological advancements. The most significant was the introduction of the RB engine family, which would become synonymous with the Skyline's performance heritage. Initially available in 2.0-liter naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms, the RB engine delivered a smooth and potent power delivery. Another innovation was the adoption of the HICAS (High Capacity Active Steering) system, aimed at improving handling and stability. This groundbreaking system utilized hydraulic actuators to adjust the rear wheels' steering angle, providing superior control and responsiveness, particularly at high speeds. While the R31 was not as performance-focused as its predecessors, it remained a capable and engaging driving experience, setting the stage for the legendary R32 generation that would follow.
