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. 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
This beautifully preserved R32 GT-R is being offered with just 18,650 kilometers (11,600 miles) on the odometer. Built in May of 1991, this GT-R was delivered to the Nissan/Prince Akita dealership where it would be sold to its first owner on May 20, 1992 with 1,025km on the odometer at the time of the sale. At the same time, the 180 km/hr speedometer was switched to a 260 km/hr NISMO unit by the selling dealer, which was a popular upgrade. Japanese service records for this car show regular periodic maintenance completed on the GT-R throughout its life until it was exported from Japan and brought to the US in 2016.
Cosmetically, this car presents in excellent condition, consistent with its low mileage. An honest representation of this example's originality is found on the rear bumper, still wearing the original dealer sticker, untouched from delivery. The body shows mild age but no major signs of use. As it's seen today, all of the vehicle's components appear to be original with the exclusion of a modern Clarion head unit that has been installed. As expected, the finish of the interior and engine compartment appear in nearly unused condition.
Included in the sale of this magnificent GT-R are service records and a spare tire. Offered now in very well-preserved condition with low mileage, it's unlikely that a better example of this legendary Japanese car will be found on the market elsewhere.
