Buyer’s notes
About the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)
The R32 revived the GT-R name in 1989 with one aim: to win Group A racing. It got a 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight six (the RB26DETT) and electronically controlled four-wheel drive, and won all 29 Japanese touring car races it entered. Nissan built 43,937, which makes it the accessible GT-R; its special versions carry the scarcity.
What moves the price
- Version: the V-Spec, V-Spec II and Nismo carry clear premiums over the standard car.
- Originality: most R32s have been modified, so an unmodified car is worth noticeably more.
- Import history: a well-documented import with supported mileage beats a cheaper car with gaps.
Before you buy, check
- Japanese export or auction paperwork that supports the recorded mileage.
- Signs of hard use: smoke, turbocharger condition, and the four-wheel-drive system working as it should.
- Evidence of modification, and whether original parts come with the car.
