1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R - Nismo Fine Spec
VIN BNR32016118
What’s special about this listing
Described by the seller as a comprehensively upgraded example, this 1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R represents one of the most celebrated Japanese performance cars of its era. The R32 generation revived the GT-R nameplate in 1989 after a 16-year hiatus, quickly earning the nickname "Godzilla" for its utter dominance in Group A touring car competition. With its ATTESA all-wheel-drive system and Super HICAS four-wheel steering, the R32 established a technological benchmark that redefined what a production performance coupe could achieve on both road and track.
According to the seller, this example was fitted with a NISMO Fine Spec twin-turbocharged 2.6-liter RB26DETT inline-six and a replacement five-speed manual transmission at Nismo's legendary Omori Factory in 2016. The Omori Factory has long been considered the spiritual home of GT-R tuning, predating the Nismo brand itself. Beyond the engine and gearbox, the car benefits from an extensive roster of NISMO upgrades including an intercooler, exhaust, radiator, oil separator, ECU, limited-slip front and rear differentials, chassis braces, gauges, and 18-inch LMGT4 wheels.
The car is finished in Gun Gray Metallic over a two-tone gray cloth interior, and is equipped with a front spoiler, rear wing, Brembo brakes, R34 pedals, a Defi boost gauge, air conditioning, and monoform front bucket seats. The seller notes that the car spent time in Australia before being imported to the US from Japan in 2025.
The Nissan Skyline GT-R - Base Model - R32 market has seen strong collector interest, with well-sorted examples achieving significant premiums. Base model R32 GT-Rs have traded at prices ranging from under $10,000 for project cars to over $100,000 for exceptional examples, and this car's extensive factory-sanctioned Omori Factory drivetrain refresh and comprehensive NISMO upgrades position it well within the upper tier of the market.
