by The Ukrainian short film made it to the finals of the International Motor Film Awards this year. The short film Touching the skyline will compete for the win in the category of Best Student Film.
Touching the skyline is a three-minute film about a rare 1981 Nissan Skyline C210 coupe. It was brought to Ukraine by sailors back in the USSR days.
The Nissan Skyline tuning is done in classic Japanese style. The car is lowered, its wheel arches are widened, and a rear spoiler is installed. Several parts had to be sourced from Japan, so the project took two years to complete.
The Nissan Skyline coupe is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo four, and it’s the first mass-produced Japanese car with a turbocharger. Originally, the engine produced 145 hp, but it’s more powerful now thanks to a new Garrett turbo.
Let’s add that the short film is very beautiful and expertly shot. We recommend watching it, you won’t regret it.
