Description
This is an exceptional example of a 1992 Nissan R32 GTR. Ground up nut and bolt restoration carefully upgraded, and prepared to an OEM+ standard. The restoration was carried out by the owner and his team within his own body shop and garage, with all engine work and tuning entrusted to Abbey Motorsport, one of the UK’s foremost GT-R specialists.
It is being sold to enable restoration of other vehicles within an JDM collection.
Originally finished in Gunmetal Grey, it has been professionally resprayed in Skyline Blue, a genuine factory Skyline shade but seldom seen. The quality of the finish is outstanding, and the bodywork presents superbly throughout, with clean arches, sills, and underbody showing no signs of corrosion, a testament to the care taken during its rebuild.
Under the bonnet lies the legendary RB26DETT, rebuilt by Abbey Motorsport with bills of over £6, 500. The focus was a reliable, authentic, and OEM-feeling powertrain, producing comfortably over 300bhp on Abbey’s dyno, with full documentation included. Complementing the build are Abbey-upgraded turbos, HKS turbo piping, and a Tomei full titanium exhaust that significantly reduces weight and adds a crisper tone. Under the bonnet there are ultra-rare NISMO components including a coilpack cover and front strut brace.
The factory GT-R seats are in good order, the carpets and door cards are excellent throughout, and a new leather steering wheel subtly refreshes the cabin. The VeilSide 340 kph custom gauge cluster is another ultra-rare period touch, and the car retains both its original Carrozzeria CD/ MD head unit and an additional Sony unit, with all factory features including the digital climate control functioning correctly.
Externally, the car sits on lightweight Enkei RPF1 alloys with red anodised wheel nuts, perfectly complementing the Skyline Blue paintwork. It is accompanied by a comprehensive document folder containing the V5C, service details, receipts, and a full dyno graph set from Abbey Motorsport.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this R32 represents a lovely blend of originality, tasteful enhancement, and expert mechanical preparation.
The car can be viewed by appointment only. It is currently SORN and in dry storage and has no MOT.. It will be supplied with MOT to the buyer. The car was purchased some years ago with a view to undertaking a full restoration. It was in good condition but has now been taken to the next level. It forms part of a JDM collection with vehicles at different stages of restoration. The sale of the GTR is in order to finance the other ongoing projects. The car has barely been driven since returning from Abbey Motorsport and dry stored.
