You gave me a time-warp trip back in time seeing your car ..... reminds me of the old Datsun B210 (Nissan)

Your Skyline , is it a Datsun (as in the common known Nissan Skyline GT-R's) or a Mazda ???

that's a very cool car, never seen anything like it before. I am curious as well if that is a skyline model company.

Skyline has always been a Nissan vehicle, never Mazda, here is a link that gives the history of the Skyline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline

Yep, the Skylines used to be a family car I miss my old 1989 Nissan Pulsar NX. I've owned two Miatas since though. Kinda stuck on Mazdas these days

I believe the Nissan name was always used in Japan and that Datsun was the name for Nissan models brought to the US. (Until they dropped the Datsun name in the early 80's) That would be a Nissan Skyline.
