Celebrate JDM Culture With This Tuned 1990 Nissan Skyline GT

This Nissan Skyline GT-R has a modified 2.6-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder from an R34

An extensively modified 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R is looking for a new home in the United States and while it's not cheap, it could prove to be a worthwhile investment.

The GT-R in question was imported into the United States and purchased by the seller in 2016. It retains the original right-hand drive layout and has been driven roughly 103,000 km (~64,000 miles) since new. For those in the market for an R32 Skyline that's bone stock, this is not the car for you.

Starting with the exterior, the Nissan is finished in Gun Gray Metallic and has Greddy rear fender skirts and a Nismo N1-style front bumper cover. It is also rocking 18-inch Advan GT Racing wheels with Nankang Sportnex AR-1 tires.

The serious modifications then start under the skin. They include new SPL Titanium Series front tension rods, Stance custom-valved ZR1 coilovers, and GT Tech upper control arms. The Bring a Trailer listing also notes the car is rocking aftermarket brake ducts, new brake lines, and EBC front and rear rotors. The ABS system and the four-wheel steering system have also been removed to add to the raw driving experience.

Then there's the engine. It is a 2.6-liter RB26DETT sourced from an R34-generation model and modified with 86.5 mm pistons, Tomei Poncams camshafts, ACL bearings, ARP main bearing and cylinder head studs, new turbochargers, and a HKS intercooler. Plenty of other changes have been done to the engine and dyno sheets reveal that it pumps out over 500 hp and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm) of torque.

Handling all of this power is a new five-speed manual transmission rocking a Nismo Super Coppermix twin-plate clutch. The GT-R also has new ATS Hybrid Carbon front and rear limited-slip differentials and a Tomei exhaust.

If we were to dream up a modified R32 Skyline GT-R, it would probably look just like this. What do you think of it?
