The Senior Skyline

Arrival of the modern breed of sportscar

In 1989 the R32 arrived on the scene. It too has the Inline-straight six cylinder engine the R31 has. But the power increases and body shape had been improved upon.
The engines capacity was a 2.0 litre, a 2.5 litre and a 2.6 litre version for the GTR version.

The GTR version was a beast of a car. It's twin turbo's were all-ceramic and and it came with electronic all-wheel drive. As before the HICAS was on all versions too.
Nearly 280 bhp was on tap with this version.

The GT-R had a significantly larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminium front guards and bonnet. Other distinguishing features include flared front and rear wheel arches.

More supportive seats were fitted, and the turbo boost gauge and digital clock were removed from inside the instrument cluster. The clock was replaced with a torque meter that indicated how much torque was being delivered to the front wheels (0%-50%). Oil temp, voltage, and turbo boost gauges were fitted just above the climate control.

To this day the R32 is seen as the 'old school' skyline. A rough-round the edges, mad-max of a machine compared to it's later, more improved models of skyline.
The R32 Skyline is quite affordable nowadays, although it's aged and getting on a bit with parts that will need looking at often for replacement etc.

For all that this version and model of the nissan skyline often is seen as a perfect project car for drifting or drag-racing.
It's slightly lighter than the later incarnations.
