The History of the Nissan Skyline
The first GT-R was made in 1969-1973. The GT-R name was revived with the Skyline R32. It has successively won the Australian Touring Car Championship from 1990-1992. The BNR32 (R32 GT-R) would end up winning 29 straight victories out of 29 races, in the Japanese motorsport.
Today the car is popular for import Drag Racing, Circuit Track, Time Attack and events hosted by tuning magazines. Production of the Skyline GT-R ended in August 2002. The car was replaced by the Nissan GT-R, an independent vehicle not sold as a Skyline.
The skyline GT-R was never built outside of Japan, there main export buyers were Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, in 1991 and then the UK in 1997.it was in many movies like top gear, green hornet, the fast and the furious series, CSI and the thick of it. Some games the gtr have been in are Juiced, Grand Turismo, the fast and the furious series, the Need for Speed series (including there new one Need for Speed: Rivals) and many more.
The Skyline name originated from Prince automobile company, which developed and sold the Skyline line of sedans before merging with Nissan-Datsun. The GT-R abbreviation stands for Gran Turismo Racer while the GT-B stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The Japanese chose to use Italian when naming the car – as most cars made in Japan at that time used Western abbreviations – to further enhance sales.
Throughout its lifetime, various special editions containing additional performance-enhancing modifications were released by Nissan and its performance division Nismo (Nissan Motorsport).
The first Skyline GT-R was released on the 4th of February 1969 and was originally made as a four door sedan. It was equipped with the 2.0 L DOHC S20 I6 producing 160 hp (120 kW) at 7000 rpm.
The second generation GT-R delivered power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. This car also had both front and rear disk brakes. Unfortunately, the second generation GT-R was unsuccessful, for a gasoline crisis hit in the early 1970s, drying out any demand for high-performance sports cars. A total of 197 cars were built by the end of its short production run. For the next decade, this would be the last GT-R until the production of the R32 in 1989.
The R33 was developed in 1995 as a successor to the R32 model. The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the R32. It used the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the syncros were made to be stronger. The engine corrected the R32's weak oil pump drive collar, which tended to fail in higher power applications, with a wider collar.
The R33 GT-R launched in January 1995 with the base model GT-R and the V-spec model. The V-spec model weighed in 10 kg (22 lb) heavier, and had sportier suspension resulting in lower ground clearance. The V-spec also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited Slip differential. The V-spec model also included a four wheel independent channel anti-lock braking system.
At the same time as the release of the R33 GT-R and GT-R V-spec, Nissan released the R33 GT-R V-spec N1 model. Changes made in the R33 N1 are similar to those in the R32 N1. The car was made lighter by removing the ABS, air conditioning, sound system, rear wiper and trunk carpet.
They cancelled the Skyline GT-R in 1973 and revived it in 1989.
Nissan Kohki (Nissan's power train engineering and manufacturing facility) originally tested a twin turbocharged 2350cc bored and stroked version of the RB20 engine. This set up produced 233 kW (313 hp) and used a RWD drive train.
The new Nissan GT-R R35 has a twin turbo V6 engine, which produces an incredible 404kW and 628Nm of torque. This makes the GT-R one of the fastest out there. So quick, it accelerates from 0-100km/h in only 2.7 seconds.
The R35 has comes in standard Edition, a Black Edition and a Luxury Trim Edition which will cost you $205,000 for the standard Edition,$220,000 for the Black Edition, the Luxury Edition is unknown, the plus the extras.
It has a Multi Function Meter that uses a 7-inch monitor in the centre display to help you gauge your ultimate driving performance, so you can choose one of four displays: 1: Vehicle mechanical info like water temperature, oil temperature and oil pressure. 2: Accelerator, brake, steering and Gforces. 3: Optimum gear selection for fuel economy. 4: Trip distance info including HDD satellite navigation with 3D mapping.
Everything in the Nissan GT-R R35 has been designed to be the fastest and wonderfully handling and to push the air over the carlike the way the lights are shaped, the was the mirrors are shaped, the way the roof is shaped which all adds up to a shape that you can knife through the air and keep on moving, that’s what this car is all about, and that’s why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.
