• Iconic R33 GTR twin turbo 

• Rare limited production run “Victory” Specification 

• Midnight Purple paint 

• Only 13,600 miles covered since full engine rebuild in 2015 

• 88,700 miles 

The Nissan Skyline GTR has long come to symbolise the ultimate iteration of the Japanese  supercar. Its legendary status even earned it the Godzilla nickname. Launched in 1995, the fourth  generation R33 achieved hero status as the first production car to lap the Nurburgring in under  eight minutes. The example offered for sale here on Car and Classic is a first year production run  GTR V-Spec, which celebrates the Japanese firms victories on the race track. 

• V5C in owners name 

• MOT until 14th April 2023 

• Invoice for engine rebuild in 2015 

• Invoice for new alloys and tyres fitted in March 2022 

This particular GTR V-Spec was first registered in January 1995 and was imported to the UK in  2011. It has been with the current owner and seller since, who states he has kept the car largely  standard.  

In 2015 the owner treated the GTR to an engine rebuild, which was carried out by RB Motorsport  at a cost of £5,858.56. A breakdown of the work carried out is detailed in the history file. 

More recently the owner had a set of 18” Bola B1 silver alloys and new Davanti DX640 tyres fitted  at a cost of £1,150, which is noted in the history file. 

The owner states that a Thatcham category 1 alarm with anti hijack is installed and the car comes  with 2 genuine GTR keys and 2 alarm fobs. 

• Alcantara Interior 

• Momo Corsa Steering Wheel 

• Skyline Overmats fitted 

On the inside the Skyline benefits from a stylish Alcantara interior, which adds a touch of  sophistication to the Godzilla monster. The seats in this example appear to have worn well with  some signs of use on the drivers seat base edge and bolster. Which is to be expected after  covering 88,600 miles. 

A set of genuine Skyline over matts are installed in the car and the carpet underneath looks very  clean in the photos. 

The sporting credentials of the GTR are further emphasised by the Mono Corsa steering wheel  and the Nismo gearshift ball. 

The owner states that a JVC KD-X441DBT Bluetooth Stereo is installed along with JVC CS-J260  300W speakers. He adds that the air-conditioning and other gauges and switches all work well.

It is hard to miss any Nissan Skyline GTR when you see and hear one on the open road and this  example with its Midnight Purple paint is certainly a head turner. It is actually refreshing to see one  in a darker colour and it is set off rather nicely by the recently fitted Bola silver alloys. 

The owner does note that there are some minor scratches, scuffs, dents and chips to the paint.  The front valence has been resprayed after some kerb damage. 

He also adds that the rear passenger quarter panel may have had damage, as there is evidence of  a respray. This occurred before he acquired vehicle. An after market fibre glass spatt fitted was  also fitted. 

• Engine rebuild in 2015 

• Fully adjustable suspension 
• New battery 

One of the delights of the Skyline is its 2.6 litre twin turbocharged six cylinder engine, which  officially produced 276BHP. This GTR V-Spec benefited from an engine rebuild in 2015 and the  seller states that it has great performance. The engine is largely standard, with the exception of an  upgraded air induction filter. 

The GTR sits on a fully adjustable BR suspension, with ride height, stiffness and damping  adjustments available. 

It also sports drilled and grooved disc brakes, with red stuff brake pads fitted on the front and  rear. 

The space saver wheel has full tread and the jack is present jack. However there is no tool kit or  jack handle. 

The owner states that the car also has had a new battery and catalytic convertor installed. The  auxiliary belts are also new, along with a new drive shaft boot and 2 reconditioned lambda  sensors. The GTR also has a reconditioned starter motor.  

The owner adds that the steering advisory noted in the MOT advisory has been fixed, with the  other advisories still outstanding. 

The car appears to be largely rust free, with the exception of the jacking points which have been  damaged in the past and do have rust present. 

Just like the mega beast that was immortalised in print and on the big screen, the Nissan Skyline  GTR continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans around the world. Just saying the  words Skyline and GTR in the same sentence immediately conveys an image of power and  technological sophistication. As the latest generation GTR continues to cement its claim at the  very top, demand for the earlier generations continues to rise. With an engine rebuild and  numerous maintenance items already taken care of, this Skyline GTR V-Spec is ready to start a  new journey with a new custodian.
