NISSAN R32 Skyline GT-R - Legend - King of Japanese Imports

Description:

Clean \ Fresh \ Light-tune Japanese Import
Spent almost a year thoroughly searching Japan and finally came across this particular R32 GT-R.

Was in no rush to import as I wanted to find The Best, and unsatisfied with the poor examples already here in Australia, I think I got Lucky. So I’m most likely going to regret this sale.
Lucky for YOU I care about all my vehicles, and being the first Australian owner I took responsibility, making sure everything was in tip-top condition.

Preformed a detailed mechanical inspection before and as soon as it landed on Aussie soil – towed to my trusted mechanic for complete vehicle inspection, major service and dyno-tune before driving the streets.

Spared no expense with service, maintenance, roadworthy, compliance and registration – treat it well, it will treat you and keep you smiling like a winner.

Fully complied and street-registered (all paper work available); hassle free for interstate buyers due to SA’s strict roadworthy rules and ‘defect you’ attitude compared to interstate.

First to see will buy...This Beast will not disappoint.
Nissan built a winning car, but the real winner is the person behind the wheel. Come and see the beast for yourself. Please NO Time Wasters, Test Pilots, people who don’t have the Funds, or Paypal scammers and the like

I am in no rush to sell and happy to turn down offers, this Legend will always be in demand! Always worth paying extra for a neat, well-maintained car like this!

Purchased as weekend / project car, always garaged!
All dyno sheets, receipts, compliance records can be available upon request

Light-tune with possibly more goodies to be uncovered.
Buys you one of the most unique driving experiences ever in this world and still being bragged about 20 years later.

Some advise - Drive and listen to the general level of engine noise of more than one GTR before buying, then come drive Mine 



NISSAN R32 Skyline GT-R - Legend - King of Japanese Imports

GODZILLA’s 20th Anniversary – A legend was born earning its name for its monster track performance; dominant for many years (Bathurst 1000 Australia, entered 29 Japanese Touring car Championship racers & wins all 29); Outlawed by a rule change
Production: 1989-1994 Total = 43,934
E-BNR32 - Recently undergone Full Major Service and Tune with many hours on a Dyno downUnder (Blackwood Dyno Tune) - Tuned to AUSSIE perfection = strength/reliable/stable/responsive/healthy RB26, keeping an eye on air/fuel mixtures – optimized the package to run on our 98-octane fuel and Low Boost to cope with Australia’s tough/harsh conditions
04/1990 – Advanced for its time; road Warrior from another dimension; Fun to drive than later models - Never in my mind had I had any doubt that I’ve been driving an older model; Monster track performance yet surprisingly so neat and subtle package remaining comfortable and practical for regular driving
121,000 kms - Inspections and compression test help confirm these are genuine kilometers, best to judge by mechanical health/condition then just agree with any meter readings; this is a fairly solid platform from which to work; so much potential, Recently replaced all vital engine parts – fluids, oils, lubricants, hoses, vacuum lines, clamps, brackets, nuts & bolts, oil filer, fuel filter, spark plugs (platinum), charcoal canister, Air-con re-gas & check, Inspect and adjusted all drive belts (alternator, air-con, power steering), Inspected ball joints, axles, shocks and suspension components, Inspected fuel lines, new battery etc
2-door coupe - CLASSIC Sports CAR
Four-seat Grand Tourer - This car was built for ‘Group A’ racing and only hit the road, due to rules demanded its street homologation. So you’re looking at a Race-Car for the street. Overall on road it’s very Practical for such an Awesome quick well-built and well-engineered Machine
Front Engine / All wheel Drive (ATTESSA-ETS) - Power is delivered to all four wheels using an electronically-controlled all wheel drive system called ATTESA
RB26DETT- 2.6 L straight six-cylinder Twin turbo intercooled, 24 valve Twin-cam Aluminium head, Iron block - The turbo-chargers were designed to allow them to spool up Quickly
Internal Modifications: Unknown
206kW @ 6800rpm - The Japanese ‘gentlemen’s agreement limited power; the insane Throttle Response and Power delivery of the RB26 proves its ‘on paper’ specifications to be too conservative – Standard examples with 330hp or higher
Curb Weight: 1480kg – smaller, lighter & less complicated
Fuel Tank: 72L
Fuel Injection: Nissan EGI (ECCS)
Fuel Type: only Premium Unleaded please
Can run mid-to-low 12 sec down the quarter-mile; but in standard form:
0 – 100kmph in 4.7 sec

1990 NISSAN R32 Skyline GTR – the Recipe for Success:

ENGINE & ACCESSORIES

Engine is a technical masterpiece, bulletproof performer, and in great state of mechanical health, clean & simple, quiet, very smooth, & a nice strong, throaty, seriously ferocious Sound exiting exhaust.

TOMEI ECU – this RB served time in TOMEI Tuning Factory in Japan (Factory ECU available)
A'PEXi Air Filters with cold-air feed (pods, gaskets, bolts, adapter pipes to suit) – for better filtration qualities, more power & less restriction (carbon fiber cover available )
Aftermarket Boost adjuster Valve – simple & reliable unit
Factory Blow-off valves – silent and will never leak
Full Aftermarket Exhaust System (front pipes, new high-flow catalytic converter, cat-back & muffler) – power gains throughout the REV range
Larger Aftermarket front-mount Intercooler – reduces inlet temps
Denso 550cc Injectors – highest quality; direct fit; high performance injectors, helps feed the monster with adequate fuel supply; will flow enough to suit future power needs
Factory inlet manifold with Aftermarket fuel Rail and Regulator – provides constant/equal pressure to each injector (rail & reg not necessarily required as standard items are sufficient but a bonus for any future power applications)
TOMEI high-flow Fuel pump – straight fit provides additional flow
New aftermarket Kevlar strengthened Timing Belt (@117,000kms), tensioner bearings, plate, idlers etc - increased tensile strength and durability great for extreme conditions, helps keep valve timing in place and avoids engine failure from losing the tuned settings, allowing for proper adjustment, keeping everything in check even under extreme conditions
New Nissan Water Pump – plenty of flow along with a full Radiator system PowerFlush and refill, replaced with new radiator hoses, clamps, cap, coolant etc

Modified sensibly and driven, maintained & serviced with respect, dead-stock clean under-bonnet (no copper bait), always kept clean and tidy inside n out, no underbody rust, no pets, non-smoker and always garaged. Most modifications preformed in Japan; and a good sign to only see modifications preformed that serve a purpose..and always uncovering more hidden goodies.. ie turbos, internals etc – are still unknown
Apart from being fast, RB26 engine are very strong. RB26 is engineered to withstand much more power than they actually make. In general this car will outlast any normal car especially if cared for properly.




DRIVETRAIN

Power to the wheels via 5-Speed Manual Gearbox which is coupled with the all-wheel-drive system ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All - Electronic Torque Split). So when slip is detected at the rear wheels, the system can electronically distribute up to 50% of the torque to the front wheels. Active LSD further distributes the torque from one wheel to the other if necessary.

Standard GTR 5-Speed Manual Gearbox – very Strong, one of the best ever seen in a production car.
Aftermarket Heavy-duty Multi-plate Clutch – efficient power transfer, improved engine response; Man it Grips! grips!grips!grips!
Lightened Flywheel – included with the clutch to ensure maximum performance and unlocks the GTR’s potential
NISMO clutch slave cylinder – helps keep the clutch pedal pressure low


WHEELS / TYRES

Deep-Dish 17x9" Manarays ms-b Hyper R rims (Tough Japanese racing-style multi-piece rims) my Perfect ideal size for the R32 allowing future brake upgrades, tyre profile, tyre prices, overall weight while giving a nice compromise between looks & performance. 18-inch rims may look cool but a mistake as it affects handling, ride quality and on a 4WD the extra rotating mass can also reduce power output
Bridgestone REGNO GR-7000 245/40 Front & 255/40R17 Rear tyres with recently preformed Precision Wheel Alignment/Balance front & rear, all adjusted for the best compromise between tyre wear, stability & responsiveness
Lightweight Red Aluminium valve caps
Spare tyre - lightweight













BRAKES / SUSPENSION

Outrageous Acceleration and Traction off the line, astonishing Grip and steering feel/response of the GTR coming in & out of corners is hard to believe, Due to the torque-splitting 4WD transmission and violent Power makes it a deadly All-round Road-holding Performer no matter what the conditions, the all wheel drive out of corners that really makes the difference and has to be self experienced, yet well behaved, easy to learn which makes this car is a practical daily commuter. Instantaneous and crisp throttle response and electric midrange torque, Capable of good lap times at the Track, will also run respectable times down the strip, at the same time being Mild for daily driving street use.

Standard GTR 4-piston front & 2-piston rear High-performance Brake Calipers - Great braking performance all the time
Aftermarket Ventilated, harder & more Solid Disk Rotors front & rear – for better heat dispation (factory rotors are cross drilled and prone to hairline crack)
New Aftermarket Brake Pads front & rear – good cold stopping power
Replaced Accelerator Cable
Bled & Replaced brake fluid with Motul RBF660 D.O.T.4 – great pedal feel
TOMEI master cylinder kit – supplies brake pressure to both circuits and very reliable – no sense making the car go if you can make it stop
ABS – plenty of feel before the ABS finally takes over
4-Wheel-Steer – (HICAS) allows the rear wheels to steer a maximum of one degree, based upon the cars current movement and the angle of the steering wheel input via the driver, resulting in a more nimble feel; most don’t like it and can be disabled
A'PEXi N1 pro Coil-Over’s all round – these are popular dampers used by the quickest GTR’s in Japan, then can be setup with different spring rates or even change to softer springs
Independent Multilink front and rear suspension – for better response, and enhanced the body welds and reinforcement components to make the car stiffer overall
Aftermarket adjustable front rose-jointed Castor Rods – eliminates play and provides more feedback to the driver through steering, more contact patch on the tarmac during heavy cornering, great turn-in and mid corner stability
Aftermarket front Strut Brace – helps share the load between towers & reduces chassis flex
Replaced all rear sub-frame Bushes – stops any movement between the sub-frames, suspension arms and vehicle body
Rack & Pinion speed sensitive (front) HICAS (rear) steering
Steering - lots of feel, more communication traveling through to the driver as the car turns with more agility giving the impression this it is smaller and lighter on its feet.



BODYWORK

In Excellent condition for a 20 year old car, with bulging fenders, Has No accident/repair history. Will suit anyone serious about shows or weekend competitions
Standard GTR Aluminium bonnet & front gaurds – those who knows their GTR’s never close bonnet by pressing down on it – as this may cause finger dents
N1 Front Bar air Vents – provides improved airflow to the intercooler
N1 Rear Boot Lip Spoiler - providing more down force
N1 Side Pods
New NISSAN Windscreen wiper blades – replaced when complied
New Aussie plates with Lightweight Aluminium number-plate bolts


INTERIOR

Cockpit has excellent Ergonomics and an Intimate, Sportier feel than any GTS, high-sided slim bucket seats grip like a croc - offers more knee room than you would expect, seat and door trim fabric the ladies love, Boot space is at Premium.
TOMEI 310km Speedo meter - Even genuine gauges have been known to be have false kms readings, my advice - always judge by the mechanical condition not by the reader. TOMEI speedo was installed by a Japanese dealership (TOMEI Optioned vehicle). Dealers in Japan can add lots of nice little goodies from popular tuning brands. These ‘Basic Japanese features/options’ are at no extra cost eg power windows, mirrors etc, unlike Australian car dealerships who will happily charge you extra for the so-called extra features/options like hub caps and a pinstripe.
Standard R32 GTR leather Steering wheel = SPARTAN Style – no airbag (looks better for it, excellent condition)
Standard GTR gear knob, pedals, front bucket & rear seats - excellent condition
Digital climate control - Icy cold; works well - air vents & circular side vents are in perfect condition; something you don’t see as they are very fragile.
Immobilizer – car is always there when I come back
Power Steering, Power Windows, Power side Mirrors, Central door Locking, Remote Keyless Entry
Standard Japanese Stereo and speakers with a six-disk stacker
