"Reuters than reports that Honda has over taken Nissan (again) as the second largest Japanese manufacturer as Nissan scales back production of unprofitable cars. "

Well thats wat u like to hear, Watever dude production wise honda been very sucessful in the US the past years but in Japan Honda is shiet. nissan owns. They got the best engines in the japanese market 4cyl with SR20 and the skyline engine 6cyl. They say this special edition engine is going to be the best engine ever built in Japan. I think nissan is going to have a big comback with this new Z. Is a shame that Japan is getting so strict.

Interesting question. If it were me, I'd take the Skyline, just because of it's exclusivity. But if they were both available in the states, that's a tough one.
