Nissan Skyline & Nissan GT-R Model List
We decided that Nissan's true sportscar deserved its own section. In 1969 Nissan first produced a high performance version of its Skyline range called the Nissan Skyline GTR. And it has proved itself to be an icon for Nissan and has achieved much fame and success on both the road and track. The first generation G-R ran from 1969 to 1972. Known as "PGC10" it was powered by a 2.0 L DOHC S20 I6 making 160 hp and 87 lb/ft of torque.
The second generation ran from 1972 to 1977 andd was known at the KPGC10 and was powered by a 1989 cc inline six S20 engine. Demand for high-performance sports cars in the early 1970s was weak so just 197 cars were. Things really go interesting with the 1985 launch of the the seventh-generation Skyline, with the "Nissan Skyline R31 2000 GTSR" reintroducing the 6-cylinder DOHC engine. The R32 GTR was the giant killer and cemented the "Godzilla" nickname.
After Nissan cancelled production of the 1973 version, they bought it back again in 1989. This time with a new 2.6 Liter Twin-turbo charged engine and an all wheel drive concept, designed by Nismo. The Nissan Skyline E-BNR32 chassis "R32" had just been designed, and was chosen as a base to build a more competitive Group A race car. It was put into production by Nissan as the R32 Nissan Skyline GTR. read more. The 4th Generation was the "E-BCNR33" shortened to "R33" and made its debut in 1995. It had the same engine as the R32. The next generation of performance Skyline's to hit the streets was the "GT-BNR34" known as the "R34" was released in January 1999.
Nissan decided to make the R34 GTR shorter "from front to rear", plus make the front wheels closer to the front. One of the main new features added was the 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the center of the dashboard, that displays seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as turbocharger boost pressure, oil and water temperature and more. The latest generation made its public debut at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show.
It was launched to the Japanese market on the 6 December 2007, and the official U.S. launch was on July 07, 2008. Although the Nissan GTR no longer carries the "Skyline" name, it has its heritage in the Skyline range. The traditional straight-6 "RB26DETT" engine has been replaced with a new V6 "VR38DETT". And the "HICAS" four-wheel-steering system used in previous models has been removed.
