1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R - Black - Race-Prepared RB26DETT, 5-Speed Manual
Overview
The R32 Skyline GT-R stands as one of the most significant performance cars ever produced. Launched in 1989, it redefined what a performance sedan could achieve on both road and track, combining Nissan's legendary RB26DETT twin-turbo inline-six engine with advanced all-wheel-drive technology and race-bred engineering. This particular example, chassis BNR32003608, represents the early production run of what would become one of Japan's most iconic motorsport machines.
This R32 GT-R has been developed into a highly serious race-prepared circuit car with extensive premium performance components and professional-grade upgrades throughout. Vendor advises the vehicle produces approximately 690 horsepower at the wheels at 21psi and has recorded a 1:04 lap time at Wakefield Park with an amateur driver.
The engine build centres around forged internals including CP forged pistons, Manley forged connecting rods, a nitrided, polished and balanced OEM crankshaft, ARP head studs and main studs, Tomei valvetrain components and a Precision 6262 turbocharger system. Supporting modifications include a Motec M600 ECU, Haltech/Racepak digital dash, Twin Vine CDI ignition system, Bosch 1660cc injectors, Radium fuel system upgrades and a Full Race Attesa AWD controller.
The driveline and chassis have also been comprehensively upgraded with a brand-new Series 3 R33 GT-R gearbox, rebuilt rear differential, custom-valved Tein coilovers, full Ikeya Formula adjustable suspension arms, S15 rear cradle conversion and serious braking hardware including AP Racing V8 Supercar front brakes and R33 GT-R Brembo rear brakes.
Inside, the vehicle has been stripped and configured for competition use with an FIA/CAMS-specification roll cage, race bucket seats, harnesses, Sabelt steering wheel and digital dash display. This is a purpose-built competition vehicle developed with high-quality components throughout, suited to buyers seeking a serious track-focused GT-R with substantial engineering investment already completed.
