Nissan Skyline GT-R R32

1989–1994 · BNR32 · coupe

RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbo inline-six, factory-rated at 276hp (gentlemen's agreement) but really making more. ATTESA E-TS active-torque-split AWD, Super-HICAS four-wheel steering, 5-speed manual. Won the Japanese Touring Car Championship every year from 1989 to 1993. Earned the 'Godzilla' nickname from Australian magazine Wheels after dominating Bathurst. Never sold new in the US, only legal here under the 25-year import rule from 2014 onward.

Watch out: RB26 oil pump drive collar is the well-documented weak point, the small-diameter drive on the crank can fail under sustained high-RPM, and any RB26 build worth the name includes an upgraded N1 oil pump. Also: rust in the rear quarter panels, and the cost of correctly imported cars (clean R32 GT-Rs are now six figures).
