There is no AWD Skyline, theyre just 4WD. Ya know rear wheel drive most of the time, but when the rear wheels hit traction issues, the front ones kick in too help out. If they made a GTS Skyline, I either forgot about it, or didnt hear of one. I know they have god knows how many different SpecV's and whatnot though.
don't be dumb. that's called center differential biasing, they are just like the new STi where you have a user-variable center diff and unlike the subaru, where you can make it so it transfers most of the power to the rear. in the skyline, you can completely turn off the front diff. so, it IS all wheel drive.

and AWD and 4WD is exactly the same thing, you just have to specify weather your differentials are limited/locking or open.

STi - 3 limited slip diffs
EVO - 2 center and rear, the front is open, so would you call it 4WD? nah, they say AWD but either will work.
