1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R Chassis no. BNR32-214694 2,568cc DOHC Twin-Turbo Inline 6 ECCS Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection 276bhp at 6,800rpm 5-Speed Manual Transmission 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Power-Assisted Disc Brakes *Wonderful white exterior *Well maintained example *Japan's 'Forbidden Fruit' supercar now on American shores *The iconic "Godzilla" GT-R THE NISSAN SKYLINE Routinely voted by the classic car magazines as one of the greatest Japanese cars of all time, Nissan's high-tech Skyline GT-R burst onto the motoring scene in 1989 to universal acclaim. Built specifically to contest Group A, the original R32 GT-R Skyline dominated the Australian racing scene, earning the nickname 'Godzilla' and ultimately, banishment from the ATCC. Debuting at Mallala in June 1990, the R32 race program was run by Gibson Motorsport and from the outset it was clear the car had the potential to be a race winner but it wasn't until 1991 that everything came together for the team and drivers Jim Richards and Mark Skaife crushed the opposition, including a win at the all-important Bathurst enduro. Despite increased minimum weight and reduced boost bar for 1992, the Skyline continued its winning ways, famously scoring a repeat win at Bathurst in the toughest condition - and a hostile reception from the crowd when Richards and Skaife took the podium. In road going form, the R32 was powered by a twin-turbo in-line six allied with a sophisticated 4WD system and HICAS all-wheel steering, the R32 was a devastating road car. Unofficially the Skyline held the lap record on the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Purchased in February of 2017 by the consigner, this GT-R has clocked roughly 68,000 miles on its odometer. The car has been fitted with a handful of aftermarket pieces including a strut tower brace, exhaust can, air cleaners, and Defi gauges to monitor the water temperature. The Nissan is reported to be in good running order with the only necessary mechanical working being routine oil changes during the most recent ownership period. The BNR32 is without a doubt an icon of its generation and as the import exclusion has recently expired, the GT-R's are becoming legal within the US. This GT-R is an exceptional example for any collection of important modern performance automobiles.
