Overview of 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R For Sale by Owner

The 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) marked the return of the GT-R nameplate and quickly earned its “Godzilla” nickname by dominating motorsport and redefining performance standards. This example, showing 49,511 miles, remains largely true to its original formula while benefiting from a selection of tasteful, performance-oriented upgrades. With its legendary RB26DETT powertrain, advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, and lightweight chassis, the R32 GT-R remains one of the most respected Japanese performance cars ever built. This car strikes an ideal balance between originality and subtle enhancement, making it equally appealing for collectors and driving enthusiasts.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R is finished in Jet Silver Metallic, a classic and understated color that complements the car’s sharp, purposeful design. It retains the iconic boxy silhouette that defined the R32 generation, while subtle upgrades such as the R33-style front grille and NISMO N1-style headlights give it a slightly more aggressive and refined appearance. These changes remain in line with period-correct modifications, enhancing the look without compromising its identity. The interior of this 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R features a clean gray cloth cabin that stays true to its driver-focused roots. A MOMO steering wheel enhances driver engagement, while the NISMO leather shift knob adds a motorsport-inspired touch. The layout is simple and functional, designed around performance rather than luxury. An aftermarket electronic boost gauge provides additional engine data, reinforcing the car’s turbocharged nature while maintaining a classic tuning-era feel.

Engine

At the heart of this GT-R is the legendary RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbocharged inline-6, which remains factory-stock in terms of its core configuration, including the original twin-turbo setup. Known for its strength and tuning potential, this engine delivers smooth power and strong high-RPM performance. Supporting upgrades include an A’PEXi Power Intake system and a titanium cat-back exhaust, which improve airflow and enhance the engine’s sound without compromising reliability. Power is delivered through a 5-speed manual transmission and Nissan’s advanced ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, providing exceptional grip and balance in a variety of driving conditions. The addition of an aftermarket coilover suspension improves handling and ride control, making the car feel more precise and responsive. Altogether, this GT-R offers a well-rounded driving experience that stays true to its legendary roots while incorporating subtle upgrades for enhanced performance and enjoyment.

The 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec sits at the heart of Japan’s late-1990s performance-car golden era, and this Bayside Blue example brings together the hardware that made the R34 GT-R legendary with a strong catalog of Nismo-style and aftermarket upgrades.

The 1992 Nissan Safari Granroad High Roof represents Nissan’s rugged Y60-era full-size 4x4 in a distinctly Japanese-market configuration. Showing approximately 76,142 miles, this example combines the long-wheelbase high-roof wagon body with right-hand drive, three-row practicality, and a naturally aspirated 4.2L inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
