Epic R32 Nissan GT-R!

The Skyline was infamous in Japan and became the ultimate dream for car tuners and enthusiasts alike . The Skyline has been illegal in the United States until recently where you can now register them by importing from Japan or other neighboring countries. This particular R32 is owned by Lerry Liu who is an avid enthusiast and has a deep passion for cars but more specifically Skylines. Check out the incredible video below.

A bit of history

The R32 GT-R might not have started the GT-R namesake but it is responsible for bringing it up to legendary status. Nissan canned the GT-R name in 1973, but brought it back when they needed a new car for Group A racing homologation rules.

The R32 GT-R was a wildly different beast to the previous GT-R. It featured a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, a powerful 2.6-litre twin-turbo engine that produced 276 hp, and a weight of just over 1,400kg.

A Nismo edition was launched in 1990 with a total production run of 560. This featured some aerodynamic changes, removal of the ABS system, and weight saving. It was also only available in a gun metal grey colour.

The R32 GT-R was branded with the Godzilla name when it dominated the Australian motoring scene. The car was so dominate in Australia it tore apart Group A racing in the country and got itself banned in the process.
