Before the Nissan Skyline R35 GT-R was marketed in the U.S. and before Nissan famously bested Porsche’s time at the Nurburgring, enthusiasts around the world were already playing with the R35’s predecessors. Even before the appearance of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolutions and Subarus WRX Imprezas, the few car nuts who knew about the Skyline already appreciated the giant-slaying capabilities of these twin-turbo AWD cars. This R32 GT-R from Australia has been in the care of a car enthusiast from Australia, who has had different cars in his stable, but has always kept this R32 in his hands.
Over the years, this car has been continuously improved and cared for, to the point that practically no performance aspect of the car has not been upgraded, down to the carbon fiber radiator stays. In its current form, the RB26DETT DOHC inline-6 was rebuilt by IS Motor Racing with HKS pistons and rods, a pair of HKS GT-SS turbos, Tomei Poncam Type-B camshafts, Tomei metal head gasket and adjustable cam gears. An HKS fuel pump, Nismo FPR and Nismo 555cc injectors handle fueling duties while a Power FC is used to control the engine. Horsepower calculations show 408hp going to the wheels, courtesy of the AWD drivetrain. There are GT-R engines with thousand horsepower outputs but the owner of this car wisely opted for a tamer setup so that the car could used without fuss on the street.
18-inch RAYS CE28Ns and Toyo R888 semi-slicks are used for the rolling stock, while AP Racing 6-pot fronts and 4-pot rears handle the braking duties, which are needed when the Ikeya Formula adjustable arms, Section tension rods, Tein RA coilovers, Cusco swaybars and HKS Kansai braces are used at the track. An ACPT carbon fiber propshaft has replaced the original steel unit.
