The R32 was really the generation that introduced the Skyline to the rest of the world; the GTR variant was so dominant racing in Australia it was banned from their popular supercar championship. The RB straight six turbo engine is often described as one of the best Japanese engines of all time offering a great balance of torque and power as well as being vastly tuneable. The GTST 2WD variant featured the RB20DET, the 2-litre turbo version of this engine with an initial power output of around 220bhp. The Skylines featured a number of ‘techy’ features including its rear steer HICAS system and viscous LSD on all turbo models. Production ran from 1989 – 1994 with around 300, 000 units produced over the full model range.
This eye catching R32 GTST was imported to the UK in April 2008 with a vast array of modifications. It has been with its current owner since 2019 and has been dry stored in that time with lack of use being the reason for sale. The engine was rebuilt in 2012 along with a fresh clutch kit. Power has been increased from 220bhp to around 300bhp with dyno printout and mapping completed at Horsham Developments. Engine modifications include an R33 GTR Turbo, 444cc injectors, Magic intake front facing plenum, tubular exhaust manifold, Greddy boost controller, Greddy dump valve, AEM FRP and Mishimoto Intercooler. A larger aluminium radiator has been fitted with clutch fan and the battery has been moved to the rear of the car for weight balance.
The handling has been improved using HSD coilovers, Kazz 1. 5 way LSD, HICAS lockout bar with complete Driftworks adjustable arms front and rear. To improve stopping, a K Sport big brake kit has been fitted on the front with floating discs, whilst the rear is fitted with larger R33 Skyline calipers. The interior features a full roll cage with additional bars, Corbeau Clubman bucket seats and harnesses, Nismo gear knob, Nardi steering wheel and various aftermarket gauges to keep an eye on what is going on under the bonnet. The car is painted in the Ford yellow with arch extensions front and rear, Nismo front bumper ducts and 17” staggered Volks rays wheels which measure 12” wide on the rear in three piece and 9” wide on the front which are two piece wrapped in track focused tyres. A great Japanese import with all the possible additions you need to enjoy the car on track or in competitions such as sprinting or hill climbing or drifting. The sale includes a current V5 document as well as parts and servicing invoices since it has been in the UK. The V5 currently describes the car as black so this may need to be changed on the logbook under new ownership.
Estimate: £14, 000 – 16, 000
