NISSAN Skyline R32 GTS-t


The Nissan Skyline has only been released in Japan, so all the Skyline models have the driver seat on the right. Although the Skyline GT-R is a 4WD, the GTS-t is fortunately a RWD.

Engine wise there are many variations available but the 2.0 liter is the one to go for. This one is turbocharged and produces 212hp.

The 2.5 (180hp) is non-turbo, and the 2.6 (280hp) engine is placed in the GT-R. Some people even swap the RB for a SR engine, since it's lighter. The RB is a great engine though, with lots of tuning potential and good power.

But they are starting to become more difficult to get. At least a good one is.
Not only was the Skyline never exported outside of Japan, most of them suffered a lot of abuse from the drifters. And as it's getting older (the newest being around 15 years old) a good R32 GTS-t that didn't got totally rocked by the Japanese at their local circuit is getting harder to find these days.
