About the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)

The R32 Skyline GT-R is the car that turned Nissan's Group A engineering programme into a road-going legend. ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive, Super-HICAS rear steer and the RB26DETT engine gave it a level of grip and response that embarrassed more expensive machinery in period. Today, that same engineering is why the R32 needs to be bought with care rather than nostalgia.
