1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R 4WD R32 - 2.6 L / 280 HP

Nissan Skyline- (Translated Sky Line, Horizon) a car produced in Japan since 1957, first by Prince Motor, and then by Nissan Motor, which bought Prince in 1966. To date, 13 generations of this car have been produced. The current version of the V36 is also sold in North America, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan under the name Infiniti G.

Eighth generation Skyline, with index R32, appeared in May 1989. A total of 296,087 cars were sold. Compared with the previous generation, the number of possible body types was reduced - only 4-door sedan and 2-door coupe remained.

The cars were equipped with upgraded 6-cylinder in-line engines of the RB series and 4-cylinder CA engines for the base version of the GXi. Most models were equipped with the HICAS system. The 2.5L version was one of the first Japanese cars to feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. ABS was offered as an option (with the exception of the GT-R version), an LSD viscous coupling in the rear differential was standard on all turbocharged models and listed as an option on all other versions except the GXi.

The A31 Cefiro C33 Laurel models were also produced on the Skyline platform.

The real success was the return in 1989 of the GT-R version (BNR32), designed in accordance with the requirements of the FIA ​​for Group A racing cars.

It was equipped with an electronic all-wheel drive system 4WD ATTESA ETS (Eng. Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split ). Its peculiarity was that when the rear wheels slipped, the front wheels were connected, to which about 50% of the torque was transmitted, which made it possible to compensate for losses during slipping. Basically, the car remained rear-wheel drive. The HICAS system, which received the Super prefix, was upgraded and controlled electronically. The 6-cylinder RB26DETT engine with a volume of 2.6 liters had two turbines, which made it possible to reach a power of 500 hp. with the official 276 (maximum power under the gentlemen's agreement of Japanese automakers).

With 29 wins in 29 races in the JTCC Circuit Championship, winning 4 championships in a row from 1990 to 1993 and setting a new Nürburgring Nordschleife time record for a production car, the car proved its superiority.

Initially, due to homologation requirements, the GT-R was equipped with 16-inch wheels, which limited the size and effectiveness of the brake discs. After changes in the racing regulations to allow the use of 17-inch wheels, a version was released in February 1993 GT-R V-spec(from English. victory,win) with 17″ BBS wheels and oversized Brembo brakes. The car also received an active rear differential. Released a year later V-Spec II with wider tires.

Question: what car is the best for tuning?
Answer: Skyline GT-R (Nezuka Sadashi)

In this post I will talk about the 32nd GT-R and its history.

August 21, 1989 marks 16 years since the Kenmeri GT-R was discontinued.

It was on this day that the much anticipated GT-R returned to the market as the eighth generation of the skyline.


The machine was powered by a new 2.6-litre twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder in-line engine developing 280ps of power and 352.8Nm of torque.

It used sports motor technologies such as sodium-cooled exhaust valves and cylinder head reinforcement, as well as the revolutionary Attesa E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split) 4WD computerized torque distribution system. In normal modes, only the rear wheels work. But as soon as the sensors register a loss of traction by the rear wheels, the front wheels are instantly involved, to which up to 50 percent of the engine torque can be transmitted. Inside, there is even a device on the center console that shows how many kilograms of torque come to the front wheels. A multi-link front and rear suspension was used, Super Hicas (High Capacity Active Steering) technology, which allows turning all four wheels, as well as brakes with aluminum calipers - four-piston front and two-piston rear. Incorporating the most advanced achievements of Nissan, the GT-R was assigned to the A-class. In this class, she not only broke several long-held records, but she never let her pilots down on the track. With 29 wins in 29 races in the JTCC Circuit Championship, winning 4 championships in a row from 1990 to 1993 and setting a new Nürburgring Nordschleife time record for a production car, the car proved its superiority.




According to the results of road tests, this car did not fit into any of the existing classes. Just at that time, Nissan was undergoing the so-called "campaign-901", during which the corporation planned to create a world-class chassis by 1990. The release of the GT-R was one of the milestones of this campaign. This car was fundamentally different from everything that fans of sports four-wheel drive cars are used to.


In addition to the NISMO racing version, which was released for sale in a limited edition, there was a V-spec version (from English victory, victory) with 17" BBS wheels and larger Brembo brakes. The car also received an active rear differential. And V-spec II In total, by November 1994, 43,934 cars of this model had left the Nissan plant.




nismo s-tune


The car is equipped with a complete nismo s1 engine. The model was the rb26dett with new valves and a special electronic system, while the turbocharger was borrowed from the r34 GT-R. The car also retains a ne-1 nismo muffler, and the exhaust system is designed so that the distance from the two turbochargers to the tapered section is precisely calculated - a very-twin exhaust pipe is directly opposite the rear differential housing. Due to this, the engine could maintain low torque at high speeds. The power was 400ps. The car also received a -speed box from the GT-R r34 and a mechanical limited slip differential.

Sales market: Japan. Right hand drive

Launched in May 1989 in the R32 body style, this generation of the model was created to restore the Skyline's traditional sporty image. In fact, in this model, the designers set a goal to resurrect the glory of the GT-R modification after a 16-year break. In a small compact body, the rear space of the passenger compartment was sacrificed, the running gear was completely updated, the technical filling of the engines became even more perfect, and all-wheel drive modifications appeared. As a result of the most difficult work, even in the form of "civilian" versions, the public was presented with an almost perfect car for its time, in the sporting inclinations of which there was no doubt.

In the new generation, the Nissan Skyline was no longer as rich in body types, but still offered buyers ample opportunities to choose from. It cannot be said that there is an abyss between the basic version and the top-end equipment, but nevertheless such a comparison comes to mind if we compare the simplest version of the Skyline GXi with a 1.8-liter engine that cost the buyer 1.4 million yen, and a luxurious a modification of the GTS-t Type M with a 2.5-liter engine, the price of which reached almost 2.5 million. And if we add the all-wheel drive Skyline GTS-4 that appeared a few months later, this difference becomes even more noticeable - more than twice . But it is the top-end Skyline configurations, equipped with a sports aero body kit, wide aluminum cast wheels with a diameter of 16 inches, a rear wiper, a leather-wrapped steering wheel adjustable in two planes, an upgraded braking system and suspension, that have been and still are very popular as a sports car that allows enjoy your power.

Skyline is equipped with engines ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 liters. The most modest engine produces 91 hp. - This is a 4-cylinder engine that does not differ in outstanding performance. The two-liter RB series engines are another matter - these 6-cylinder in-line engines demonstrate exceptional performance and reliability. Their power, depending on the modification, lies within a wide range: from 125 “forces” for the “2.0 GTE” version to 215 “horses” in turbocharged GTS-t trim levels. There is also a version with a 2.5-liter engine that produces 180 hp. In all variants, the car is equipped with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

Nissan Skyline R32 is equipped with a new multi-link suspension on all 4 wheels. This greatly improved the comfort component of operation. Sports modifications of the GTS with turbo engines, among other things, are equipped with a 4WS system, all-wheel drive, implemented using a multi-plate clutch with electronically controlled torque distribution along the axles. Under normal driving conditions, the classic rear-wheel drive is retained, and when they slip, up to 50% of the torque is transmitted to the front axle. If we also take into account the presence of an LSD differential in the rear axle, it turns out to be a beast at all: the Skyline GTS-t type M can accelerate to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds, and this is not even the GT-R famous for its power.

With the new generation of Skyline, safety requirements have grown significantly. So the rejection of the 4-door hardtop that was produced before was inevitable. The car received a more advanced body, which includes a fully three-point seat belts; fastening child seats; optional - ABS system, driver's airbag. In 1991, the car was restyled and improved in terms of safety, in particular, received additional stiffeners in the doors.

Nissan Skyline is a very bright, stylish car, outwardly radically different from previous generations. It still looks great in traffic today, not to mention showing its combative character if it is a sports version. Due to its characteristics, this series has become very popular among right-hand drive cars imported to our country in the 90s. And to this day, a significant part of these machines is in good technical condition, which gives great opportunities for choice.

Read completely

Skylan in the back of 32 is considered the 8th generation of the model. If we count only purely "Nissan" Skylines, then the 5th. The first copies were born back in 1989. In our time, the demand for Skylines has fallen, which is explained not only by the reduction in body types, but also by the release of a new generation, designed to return to the former positions of racing versions with 30 and 31 bodies.

Particularly interesting in the car is the coupe body produced after the 32nd generation under the name GT-R. But let's start from the very beginning, we will first present the so-called "civilian" versions.

Civilian versions of Skyline

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Now let's look at the differences between the specific configurations of the Nissan Skyline "civilian versions":

• Body 32 FR, version of JIx and JIx Tup-X. This group includes only four-door sedans with a 1.8-liter CA18 power plant for 91 horses. ZDP layout, drum-type brakes. It is considered "vegetable", that is, the simplest standard equipment;

• Body 32 HR, versions of JT and JT-X. This also includes only four-door sedans with a 2-liter RB20E engine for 125 horses. The rear brakes are already disc, but the drive is still rear;
• Body 32 E-HR in GTS / GTS selection versions. This group also includes 4-door sedans and coupes with a 2-liter power plant for 155 horses. All cars are rear-wheel drive with disc rear brakes;
• Body 32 E-ECR with GTS-25 versions. This includes 4-door sedans and coupes with a 2.5-liter power plant for 180 horses. Complete sets are offered with an automatic transmission or "mechanics". As for the drive and brakes: disc and rear-wheel drive;
• Body 32 in GTS-T and Tup-M versions. Only 4-door sedans with a 2-liter power plant for 212 horses and turbocharging. Rear wheel drive, high pressure brakes;
• Body 32 E-HNR. This includes coupes and sedans with a 2-liter power plant for 212 horses with a turbocharger. Four wheel drive and WD brakes.

Racing Skyline 32

It will be useful to know that the car in the 32nd body was originally planned for FIA standards. The latter means stringent requirements put forward to the A-group racing cars.

Indeed, the technical stuffing of Skyline still excites the minds of connoisseurs who know well what racing and high-speed Japanese-made cars are like. Well, for example:

• "Multi-link" on all wheels;
• All-wheel drive 4WD ATTESA ETS;
• Transferring half of the CM to the front axle assembly at the time of the sports car wheels slipping;
• Super HIKAS system;
• Adjustable electronics on all-wheel drive versions of the coupe, giving enviable cornering stability.

As a rule, at the head of all these bells and whistles was the new RB26DETT engine, competently turbocharged and not limited by environmental standards, as in the "civilian" versions.

Still, just a comparison of capacities is enough to make the picture clear - 280 horses for regular versions and more than 500 horses for racing ones. And that's not all, because if you refine the power plant of the sports version yet, you can cross the barrier of 1000 horses, since the motor allows you to do this.

And of course, the final touch that completes the idea of ​​this car is the exterior design of the body. The very proportional exterior design of the coupe immediately captivates: nothing superfluous, the exterior is one charm. That is why many experts called this body much more attractive and spectacular than the 33rd and 34th, which came out after (more on this below).

The fact that the 32nd Skyline entered the world of racing with a thunderous furor today is beyond doubt. For 48 months of a sports career, the 32nd won all the ring-racing tournaments held between 1990-1993 in Japan.

The 32nd crushed everyone and everything like an invincible samurai. The autocar has successfully shown itself abroad. Under the guidance of Kato, he set a new record for the well-known Nurburgring races, skipping the well-known record by 23 s.

The fame of the 32nd then spread all over the world. Demand for a car in the back of 32 exceeded all expectations. To this day, the sports car remains the favorite pastime of drifters and street racers. The subsequent models Skyline 33 and 34 turned out, according to experts, in some way licked, not as charismatic as this one.

New body 33

Skyline receives a new body in mid-1993. At first, the modernization affected only the "civilian" versions. As for the racing version, it was not touched for the time being.

In everything from design to its technical capabilities, the Skyline 33 has grown from the 32nd. There are changes, but they are, in general, evolutionary in nature. For example:

• More rounded and slick exterior design;
• Few technical improvements;
• The same motors, although without some models of power plants (in particular, CA18 motors were no longer installed);
• The appearance of only one new configuration, although well improved;
• Increasing the wheelbase and body dimensions;
• An increase in the useful volume of the passenger compartment on both body types (on a sedan and a coupe).

The last parameters deserve special attention. So, the body length of the 4-door Skyline body was increased to 472 cm, the coupe - 464 cm. Accordingly, the width and height increased: 172 and 136 cm for the sedan, 172 and 134 cm for the coupe.

The wheelbase has been increased by 105 mm.

Skyline 34

This body has already been installed on the 10th generation models, first seen by the masses in the 98th year of the last century. This time there has already been a lot of emphasis on Sport and compliance with eco-standards.

In particular:

• The JT 20E power plant was replaced with a chipped 20DE. The engine is not new, it was used on the 32nd, but now it has been carefully improved;
• This motor, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, allowed Skyline in the back of 34 to become one of the leaders in the automotive world in terms of fuel efficiency, and in the lineup of all Skylines - the best among sixes engines;
• Gradually, the 5-lever box was replaced by 4 automatic transmissions with PP.

Skyline 34 was produced in 4 versions.

1. The GIT version was offered with a 2-liter power plant for 155 horses.
2. Versions 25 JT, JT-X and JT-V were equipped with a 2.5-liter unit for 200 horses.
3. Modification JT-Fur comes with a 2.5-liter engine for 200 horses and all-wheel drive;
4. Finally, JT-T with a 2.5-liter RB25 Neo unit for 280 horses.

At the same time, at the same time, changes also affected the racing GTR. The legend has been resurrected, now with an innovative chassis and other cutting-edge features.

For example:

• The new generation of the sports car has become shorter than the previous one;
• The front axle has been moved closer to the motor;
• The valve covers are painted bright red instead of black, as was the case before;
• Upgraded turbochargers;
• A new Jetrag gearbox was installed;
• Innovative intercooler temperature controllers have appeared;
• The car was equipped with a 5.8-inch display that allows you to view the functioning of working fluids and their temperature.

The sporty version also gets a super-improved suspension. The designers even lowered the landing, installed 2 diffusers on the hood, which perfectly cool the powerful engine.

Note that there were two versions of the Skyline sports car in the new generation. The first was called V-spec, and the second - M-spec. The latter completely copied the first version, only the suspension was soft, and the interior was upholstered in leather.

In mid-1999, Nissan also showed an innovative V-spec 2 model with a rather stiff suspension. It was much stiffer than the original V-spec. The new modification also has a lightweight hood made of composite material. In particular, it was a carbon fiber part, which turned out to be much lighter than aluminum.

Another feature that distinguishes the V-spec 2 from its predecessor concerns the color of the front panel. It's darker. In addition, the seat upholstery is made of black fabric, and not gray, as it was before.

The last modification 34 was released in early 2002. Nyur - that's what it was called and was sold, respectively, in 2 versions. The model gets its name in honor of the Nurburgrin races, in which the sports car set a world record. Both versions were equipped with a motor that allows the car to develop 300 km per hour.

Repair

The Skyline car, however, like any other car, needs timely repair work. Some of them can even be done with your own hands, the manufacturer did not offend the owners in this regard.

Replacing the front fender is very easy. The rear wing can present difficulties (more on this below).

So, in order to replace the wing, it will be necessary to prepare the lining of the part, its clamps to the car frame or bumper. You will also need to take fasteners called "bugs". In the service station, the replacement of the front wing is usually estimated at 800-1500 rubles.

On the contrary, the repair of the Skyline rear wing is no longer so simple and is estimated by repairmen at 2500-3000 rubles. Difficulties are primarily related to the type of body. On a coupe, respectively, it is more difficult to make repairs. Almost always, when repairing a rear wing, it is necessary to cut, drill or weld a part.

In any case, if the replacement is done by hand, you will first need to remove the bumper and empty the cargo compartment.

• The rubber cuff is removed;
• Then - upholstery of the floor and cargo compartment;
• The electrical wiring is disconnected.

Wing replacement is carried out in the event that it is no longer possible to restore the body element, or the latches are broken or the part itself is deformed after an accident.

The legendary car reappeared in September 1998 with revised chassis and other updates. The new generation has become a little shorter than the previous one, and the front axle has become closer to the front. The valve covers were painted shiny red instead of the black that had been applied to them in past generations. The turbochargers were also improved. A new, more robust 6-speed GETRAG gearbox has been designed especially for this vehicle. Intercooler temperature sensors appeared on V-spec models. The R34 GT-R featured a 5.8" LCD display that allowed viewing of parameters such as turbo pressure, oil and coolant temperatures, and for the V-spec, longitudinal and lateral acceleration graphs and circuit racing lap times.

Like the R33 generation, the new R34 GT-R V-spec models were equipped with the ATTESA E-TS Pro system, but the standard GT-Rs were not equipped with "Pro" systems. Versions of the V-spec received a more stable suspension and a lowered seating position. V-spec models also included a hood-mounted plastic diffuser (cooling the underside of the engine) and a carbon fiber diffuser designed to channel smooth airflow under the car.

Another version of the R34 GT-R was referred to as the M-spec. The model was similar to the V-spec, but had a softer suspension and leather interior.

During the production of the fifth generation GT-R, Nissan began to develop a version called the N1, which had also previously been produced in the R32 and R33 models, and was technically similar to its predecessors. The N1 did not have: air conditioning, rear wiper and stereo systems. In total, only 45 cars were produced, 12 of which were used by the Nismo (Nissan Motorsport) division to participate in the Super Taikyu racing championships. Most of the remaining cars were sold to racing teams and tuning companies.

In August 1999, Nissan introduced a new model called the V-spec II. The car received a fairly stiff suspension (much stiffer than the original V-spec). The new version features a carbon-fiber hood that is lighter than the aluminum hood previously fitted to all GT-Rs. Another difference between the V-spec II and the original is the darker color of the center console. Also, the seats were made from black fabric, rather than the gray fabric previously used on other versions of the R34 GT-R.

In February 2002, Nissan released the latest model in the R34 GT-R series, called the Nür. It was sold in 2 versions: Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nür and Skyline GT-R M-spec Nür. The name Nür was given in honor of the famous Nürburgring race track in Germany. Both versions were equipped with an upgraded RB26DETT engine based on the N1 engine, which allowed the car to reach speeds of about 300 km/h.
