8th Generation (1989 - 94)

he 1989 R32 was the resurrection of old Skyline virtues, in that each of its many versions were very sporty and balanced in handling. The car came in sedan,Proceed to the Report about the R32 Nissan Skyline Sedans coupe and finally also in GT-R form and for the first time in history, was available with rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive.

The old engine line-up was mostly dropped, so all versions - sedans and coupes - at least got the RB20DE engine, a normally aspirated 2.0l inline-6 with 155hp. Stronger models like the GTS-t came with the RB20DET engine, already known from the R31 GTS-R, but with an increased output of 212hp. Later versions got the normally aspirated RB25DE engine, a 2.5l DOHC inline-6 with 180hp.

The R32 Skyline GT-R

Over a decade after the last GT-R had been dropped, a new Skyline GT-R finally saw the light of day in 1989. Of course, expectations for the new top-performer were high due to the heritage it could look back upon. But this new version was more than worth the GT-R badge in any way.

At that time it may have seemed impossible for any car to resemble the PGC10抯 success on and off the track - that was, until the new R32 GT-R came along, whichProceed to the Road Test of the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R soon earned the nickname Godzilla. The Skyline GT-R was available only in coupe form and featured high-tech in perfection, high-tech that in this case was used to support the driving experience, rather than hinder it.

It came with ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All - Electronic Torque Split), an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system that usually delivers the power to the rear-wheels, but can send up to 50% of the torque to the front wheels. Thus even drifts are possible with this car, which is usually very difficult with AWD. The handling was further enhanced by Super-HICAS, an improved system of the R31 GTS-X抯 all-wheel-steering, to make this car one of the best, if not THE best handling car in the world.

The GT-R did not only have excellent handling characteristics, but also featured one of the best production engines of all times, the RB26DETT, a 2.6l DOHC inline-6 twin turbo with 280hp. The RB26DETT is a pure racing engine, derived directly from Group A racing, which was despec抏d to fit the maximumProceed to the Road Test of the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R 280hp allowed by Japanese regulations. Tuned (newer) versions of this engine, however, have been seen to reach up to 1300hp, so make sure to check out the Tuning section of this site, because tuning is what the Skyline really is all about. Still, the standard version makes the 0-60mph sprint in 4.8 seconds, putting it on a par with a Ferrari 355.

But the GT-R was not only a great street rocket. It was basically designed to fit Japanese Group A racing standards. And racing is where Godzilla really shone. It won so many races (i.e. it won every single race - 29 altogether) in Group A that this class was abolished because nobody wanted to compete against Nissan's flagship anymore.

9th Generation (1993 - 99)

The R33 series was very similar to its predecessor, the R32 series. The GT-R was continued, as was the optional all-wheel-drive layout of the sedans and coupes. The car was still very sporty, although it had grown a little in size and weight and had thus become less agile. The weight disadvantage was compensated in the engine department though, by the new normally aspirated RB25, a 2.5l inline-6 with 190hp for the GTS-4 and GTS25 versions, and the far more powerful RB25DET, a 2.5l inline-6 turbo with an output of 255hp, which worked in the GTS25t.

The R33 Skyline GT-R

A heavy burden lay upon the R33's back when it was introduced in 1995. It抯 predecessor had been very successful (almost unbeatable) and anybody hardly Proceed to the Road Test of the R33 Nissan Skyline GT-Rthought the new GT-R could possibly improve on the R32抯 performance. Surprisingly, the R33 GT-R was better than the old version in almost any way, although it too had gained some weight.

It kept the RB26DETT engine with an unchanged 280hp, but had a broader torque band which made the engine more flexible. Also standard were improved versions of ATTESA-ETS and Super-HICAS.

NISMO 400R and GT-R LM

NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports and is the (you guessed it!) MotorsportsProceed to the Report about the NISMO 400R division of Nissan which was responsible for the former Group A racing cars, as well as today抯 JGTC (All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship) racing cars. Since engine power for production cars is restricted to 280hp in Japan, having a car built by a tuning division is the only way to get over such a regulation. And this is exactly what Nissan did with the 400R in February 1996, a car that was produced in a very limited number of only 99 pieces.

Nissan had been racing the Skyline in the GT1 category of the 24-hours endurance race of Le Mans in 1995 and 1996, so the GT-R LM and the 400R were intended as road-going versions of these race cars. Both got derivatives of the RB26DETTProceed to the Racing Section engine, the GT-R LM with 305hp and the 400R with 400hp. Unfortunately only one GT-R LM was built to homologate the car for racing, which is confined to a museum today.

The 400R on the other hand, got an enlarged RB26DETT engine with 2.8l of displacement, the RBX-GT2, a twin-turbo with an astonishing 400hp at 6.800rpm. The engine was not the only similarity with the GT-R though, since both cars were based upon the R33 GT-R V-spec (Victory Specification). But where the GT-R LM only got RWD (like the race-cars), the 400R got further improved GT-R technology, like ATTESA-ETS etc.

Proceed to the Report about the NISMO 400RNaturally, both car抯 inner potency was resembled in their design as well. Each one of them featured bigger wheels, wider spoilers and wheel-arches and lower suspension, to give them a look even more dramatic than the already not too inconspicuous standard GT-R.

Autech GT-R 4-door

Autech is a subsidiary of Nissan specialized in tuning cars. The Autech GT-R was a four-door version of the R33 GT-R, which was introduced as a limited edition for the 40th birthday of the Nissan Skyline. The Autech version got all of the GT-R抯 standard technology, as well as the most vital parts of its interior like bucket seats etc. So it really was a GT-R in terms of performance - just a lot more practical.

NISMO also brought up a tuned version of the Autech GT-R, which featured the spoilers of the NISMO 400R and a 380hp engine. It is not difficult to imagine that this car was THE attraction on its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show.

10th Generation (1998 - 02)

To some people the R33 series seemed a bit oversized and most of them considered the R32 to be the best Skyline ever. So Nissan changed its approach when the new R34 series was due.

R34 Nissan Skyline SedanThe new line-up was oriented more towards the R32 series than towards its direct predecessor, to result in a car that was even more sporty than the R33 series.

The standard R34 is available either with all-wheel-drive or rear-wheel drive. Of the standard versions there are five now, all of which come in coupe and sedan form: the R34GT, powered by the RB20DE with 140hp, the R34 25GT-V with the RB25DE engine and 193hp; the R34 25GT and 25GT-X, which get optional AWD, and last but not least the top-of-the-line R34 25GT-t, powered by the RB25DET with 280hp. There are no Coupe-versions for the GT-X and 25GT RWD models, though.

Proceed to the Road Test of the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-ROf course a GT-R may not be missing. Regarding the technology, the R34's top version is basically an evolution of the old R33 GT-R, but with a much sharper design and a truly improved chassis, making this the best Skyline GT-R ever and, in comparison to other sports cars, one of the fastest cars in the world:
This GT-R held the Track Record for production cars at the N黵burgring Northloop, the most difficult racetrack of the world, until the Porsche 996 Turbo came along, and won several JGTC championships.

11th Generation (2001 - ...)

Finally, after 3 years of speculation and various pictures of what the new SkylineProceed to the Report about the V35 Nissan Skyline Sedans might look like, the wait is over. Fortunately, rumors stating the Skyline would be dropped in favor of the new Z-Car were not confirmed, since on June 18th, 2001 the all-new V35 Skyline was released.

The new car comes with two entirely new engines, a 2.5l V6 with 215hp and a 3.0l V6 with 260hp. With these engines, Nissan marks a new step of the Skyline towards the luxury-sedan segment, since there is no entry level engine anymore.

Proceed to the Report about the V35 Nissan Skyline SedansHad previous versions been evolutions of their respective predecessors, the new V35 now presents a cut into the Skyline's design history as radical as the last model change from the R31 to the R32. The V35 comes in 4 versions: 300 GT, 250 GT, 250 GT Four and 250 Gte, the 250 GTe being the least expensive.

Infiniti G35

Additionally, the Skyline finally made its long-awaited US debut for Nissan's luxury-brand Infiniti in spring 2002, where its derivative, the Infiniti G35, goes against the BMW 3-series and Lexus IS300 in the near-luxury class.

An exciting Sport Coupe featuring a slightly stronger engine is scheduled for September 2002.

GT-R Concept / GT-R Promo Concept

Please note that a new conept has recently been introduced at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show in 2005. Have a look at the 2005 Nissan GT-R Promo Concept here.

Since the introduction of the R34 Skyline GT-R in 1998, the question of whether the GT-R would survive the near future or not, was highly discussed in the automotive world - especially among Skyline enthusiasts. With the revelation of the GT-R Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show 2001, Nissan has finally ended these discussions. The radical GT-R Concept gives an impression of what the replacement of the Skyline GT-R (due 2004) might look like. If the car will still be called Skyline GT-R is not sure, yet, but chances are high the Skyline part of the name will be dropped and the car will simply be badged Nissan GT-R.
Thanks to computer games like Gran Turismo, the Skyline GT-R has become famous the world over during the past few years, so there is no more reason to reduce GT-R sales to domestic shores, only. Hence, Nissan finally plans to sell the car globally (maybe badged Infiniti in the US), in left-hand- and right-hand-drive form.

Radically different to the R34 GT-R, the GT-R Concept抯 front facia appears impressive due to its width, but otherwise quite featureless. Narrow headlights flank each side of the body and blend into black cooling vents to the bottom, thus enhancing the impression of a wide and low body. Apart from the black grille and bumper assembly with its vast air intake openings, there is no distraction of the even body surface. Following the sweep of the wheel arch, the lights extend to the back, onto the long hood. Basically, what the face lacks is a definition of characteristic features instead of the current simple facia. The lights
