What it 'means' is a skyline, or the name Skyline.

What it reads is roughly SU.KA.EE.RA.EE.NNN, which is about the closest you can get the Japanese syllabary to approximate the word Skyline. The letters used are from one of three alphabet sets available, and this set is used mainly for transcribing foreign words into Japanese, but forever leaving them labelled as such, ie 'foreign'.

During the war such 'Katakana' words as カメラ 'ka.me.ra' camera were all forbidden and people were ordered to use the older and more 'classical' Japanese/Chinese Kanji characters, such as 写真機　'sha.shin.ki' or photographic machine.

WLAL :blahblah: :chairshot

Thanks Thrust for the writeup, didn't know about the forbidding of Katakanas in WWII:nervous: . . . . . I think that boyracers in japan have usually Katakana stickers, Drifters Hiragana-stickers and Yakuzas Kanji stickers with little　名字　in the middle:chuckle: :chuckle:

(O=O) スカイライン (O=O)

(OO\ スカイライン /OO)

Oo\ スカイライン /oO

dont think that'll look nice at all.


and for the 'afterburner' llights, i think you mean the stock lights but with LED's in them? those rock....
either stock or LED, the rest WILL look shit

 

[NissanStyle]

Oboviusly the "skylline" logo would be the proper size, as for the LED's i was thinking of copying the BNR34 Z-Tune!
