1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)

Last crawled date: 1 year, 7 months ago

The GT-R returned with twin ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, all wheel drive, and 280 hp (206 kW) at 6800 rpm. The RB26DETT engine actually produced ~320 hp, but it was unstated due to the Japanese car makers' 'gentlemen's agreement' not to exceed 206 kW (276 hp). The engine was designed for ~500 hp in racing trim,3] and then muzzled by the exhaust, boost restriction, and ECU. The electronic boost control had a small physical restriction in the control lines. It was marked in yellow so the new owner could remove it and enjoy a safe factory boost increase. The GT-R had Super HICAS, a more advanced computer controlled four wheel steering system using electric actuators. The GT-R had a significantly larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminum front guards and bonnet. The Porsche 959 was Nissan's target when designing the GT-R. The chief engineer, Naganori Itoh, intended to use the car for Group A racing, so the design specification was drawn up in conjunction with a copy of the Group A rules. The Nordschleife production car record at the time of development was 8'45' - set by a Porsche 944. Nissan test driver Hiroyoshi Katoh reset the record with a time of 8'20'.
