Yes they make a 4-door Nissan Skyline, it is after all what the GTR versions are based on. The GTR is just an extreme version of the more basic saloon and coupe models they produce.

Edited to provide a link to a History of the Skyline Site:-

The R33 GT-R certainly came in a limited edition 4 door variant. Personally I'd be wary of importing one just because of the difficulty of getting hold of spares - if one of those doors gets bent you could be scuppered.

I've never seen a 4 door R34 car, though.

Cool

The R34 Skyline does exist in 4 door form (and as an estate), but I don't think they did a GT-R version of it. As Andy says they did do a limited run 4 door R33 GT-R, it was to celebrate an anniversary of some description.

The new Skyline is not really a Skyline, but a soft luxo mobile. And yes, it is fugly.

The R34 is a ripper - I still have one (a 4 door tiptronic turbo) and they are great. Mechanically pretty unburstable, fast enough and a whole lot of fun. Some doubtful detail finishing on some, but basically a great bit of kit. Not beautiful, but shows its purpose clearly I believe. People get out of the way on the expressways here when you roar up behind them (also coz the Police have more than a few unmarked ones ).

Skyline as a model range includes 2 and 4 door versions. The GTR is only a 2 door version, although Nissan Subsidary Autech fitted the GTR drivetrain to a 4 door limited edition version, and also to the Stagea estate car.
