This series was available as either a hardtop 2-door or 4-door sedan/saloon. It would feature several potent versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines which had improved heads over the previous version and used the "ECCS" (electronic combustion control system) injection system. Also available were an 1800 cc 4 cylinder GXi model. HICAS four wheel steering was available on most models, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5 litre version became one of the first cars made in Japan to feature a 5 speed automatic transmission. All 2 litre turbo and non turbo versions with automatic transmssions were 4 speed.http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/9230/800pxr32skylinereardq3.jpgR32 Models:GXi Type-X - 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW) GTE Type-X - 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW) GTS Type-X, S, J - 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW) (most common) GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG - 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 180 hp (132 kW) GTS-t Type-M - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (156 kW) GTS-4 - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (156 kW) 4WD GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280 hp (206 kW) 4WD also NISMO, VSPEC and VSPECII variants Also based on the Skyline platform were the A31 Cefiro and C33 Laurel. All 3 cars are very popular in Japan (and other countries to which they are imported secondhand) for drifting. In Japan, the CA18i engine in the GXi is sometimes swapped for an SR20DET (4 cylinder turbo), resulting in a lighter and better-balanced car than the factory six-cylinder turbo models.GT-RAlso new was a twin-turbo Skyline GT-R model with ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, all wheel drive, and 280 hp (206 kW) at 6800 rpm. In reality, the RB26DETT engine produced more power than this (~320 hp), but it was not stated as there was a "gentleman's agreement" between the major Japanese car makers not to produce production vehicles exceeding 206 kW (276 hp). Nissan engineers later confirmed that the engine was designed for ~500 hp [2] , 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. [3] This was also the first model since 1973 to have the GT-R badge. The GT-R had Super HICAS which was a more advanced four wheel system using electric actuators and a computer to control the system.The GT-R also had a larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminum front wheel arches and bonnet. Apart from wearing the GT-R badge, other distinguishing features include wider front and rear wheel arches (also applies for the R33 and R34 GT-R models) and a small grille under the flat bonnet. Inside was much the same as other models except that race seats were fitted, and the turbo boost gauge and digital clock were removed from inside the instrument cluster. The clock was relocated to the left of the steering wheel into the instrument surround. 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%), beneath the climate control 3 auxiliary gauges were also fitted, oil temp, voltage and turbo boost.Nissan had the Porsche 959 as their target to beat when designing the GT-R. The chief engineer behind the GT-R, 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".[4] Best Motoring managed 8'22"38.[5]This model soon earned the name Godzilla, for its impressive performance on the track. The R32 GT-R dominated JTCC, winning an unprecedented 29 races from 29 starts, taking the series title every year from 1989-1993. [6] It took 50 races from 50 starts from 1991-1997 (latterly R33) in the N1 Super Taikyu. The R32 GT-R was introduced in the Australian Bathurst 1000 touring-car race to compete against Holden and Ford V8 saloons, winning in 1991 & 1992. However, the GT-R's impressive successes sounded the death knell of Group A Touring Car racing; with the formula being scrapped soon after. JTCC was similarly blighted by the R32 GT-R, and splintered soon after, leading to the switch to the Supertouring category and also indirectly to the GT500 category of today.When originally designed, the homologation rulebook mandated 16" wheels, so that's what the GT-R got. This limited the size of the brakes, and the Nissan four pots weren't really up to competition use. A later change in rules allowed 17" wheels, so in February 1993 the GT-R V-spec ( for Victory) emerged wearing 17" BBS mesh wheels covering larger Brembo brakes. The clutch actuation changed from a push to a pull system, and the rear diff became active. A year later the V-Spec II emerged with a new sticker and wider tyres.</blockquote>
