I yahooed the following words : fastest production skyline round nurburgring
http://www.caterham.force9.co.uk/ring.htm was the 4th link down with
"Our goal could scarcely be more simple. We want to break the production car lap record for the famous old 12.95-mile Nurburgring. Currently it stands at 7min 59sec, set by a Nissan Skyline GTR in 1995. But given that the Skyline set the time during its development stage and was free of the speed limiter that prevents UK versions from doing more than 156mph, we can no longer count it as the true production car record holder. Especially as it's far from clear how much turbo boost the GTR was running during the lap, or how much tweaking the rear-wheel steer system had undergone."
near the top of the page. I dont know if anyone's beaten the above mentioned record.

Don't know about the specific car in question, but here's an interesting list of all times managed by German magazine Sport Auto. Times are full Nordschleife full lap, not shorter 'BTG'.
