The first cars named "Skyline GT-R" were produced between 1969 and
1972 and enjoyed legendary success in local Japanese touring car
racing. After a long hiatus, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 as
the R32 Skyline GT-R. This model GT-R proceeded to win the Japanese
JTCC Group A series championship four years in a row. The
formidable technology and performance of the R32 GT-R prompted the
Australian motoring publication Wheels to nickname the GT-R
"Godzilla" in its July 1989 edition.
The Skyline GT-R became the flagship of Nissan performance,
showcasing many advanced technologies including its all-wheel drive
system and the four-wheel steering. Today, the car is popular for
import drag racing, circuit track, time attack and tuning oriented
car events. Production of the Skyline GT-R ended in August
2002.
The Skyline GT-R was never manufactured outside Japan, and the only
export markets were Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and (for one
year) the UK. Despite this restriction, the car has become an icon
worldwide. In October 2000, Nissan released the V�spec II (victory
specifications). The V-spec II was a continuance of advancing the
engineering of the famous platform.
This right-hand drive Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec II is reported as one
of less than 2,000 built and is powered by a turbocharged
(Precision) 2.6-liter inline six-cylinder engine that is paired
with a six-speed manual gearbox. It is visually defined by front
and rear spoilers, lower body aero elements, sport mirrors, Brembo
four-wheel disc brakes, Nitto tires and Rays alloy wheels.
Amenities include power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD
unit. Instrumentation readouts are determined in metric units.
