Yes, C210 is ""Skyline Japan." I don't know for sure, but Hakosuka seems to refer to the boxy shape of the car. Hako = box. I don't think the DR30 had a nickname. In fact, I don't think any after the C210 had one until the Aussies named the R32 "Godzilla."

Ah-ha! Thank you for confirming that Miles. Hako = box and Suka = the first part of the word 'Skyline'. ie, literal translation of "Box Skyline".

The R30 had "Iron-Mask" as the facelift version... and some people call the R31 "7th Skyline". Miles, do people in Japan call the R32 "Obakemono"?

FWIW, I believe the name "Godzilla" was first used by Wheels magazine.
