I’m not a gtr guy but I have to say, the r32 and r33 is the best looking out of the gtr bunch. R32 looks light weight and looks like a proper gtr. The r33 is a proper successor. Then anything after just looks weird imo.
I actually knew everything u mentioned, but i still enjoyed the video. In Gran Turismo Ps1 i was sick of all my friends using the same vettes and ferrari's etc. I searched for a sleeper to finally beat them. I saw R32 tail lights and heard that RB, was love at first sight and sound. Then i noticed the awd 4w steering and i never lost again, DESTROYED all my buddies by almost a full lap everytime.
I meet a guy when I was living in Norfolk, VA who had a R32 GTS-T and a R33 GTR. He never brought out the R33, but he let me drive the R32. Wasn’t obviously a GTR, but still an experience driving a iconic legend.
Here's another fact for you; Ford Motor Co in the UK owned an R32 which it used to develop the Escort Cosworth. And although Nissan initially wanted to copy the 959's AWD system, it quickly dismissed the way it worked in favour of its own algorithms as the Porsche only moved its power around according to weight balance/transfer.
The 959 AWD system was front wheel biased and the R32 was rear wheel biased. The 959 had too much understeer and Nissan wanted the GT-R to get a lil sideways. Oversteer beats understeer all day every day.
Another fun fact. Since these were sold in NZ and AUS the Skyline name was a well known car since the R31 with its RB30DE and some came with a Turbo too.
Hands down the R32 it doesnt have the hype that the R34 has and thats why i love it so much and plus the racing pedigree im all about what it does on the track
the r34 was only in the hype because of the fast and furious, i like the r34 but it looks like an illegal street car without the r32 and r33 having a race car design that i like a lot
Also sold in New Zealand and Australia. Also the car that changed racing at Bathurst for ever. Making it a Ford Holden 8V only race. Where as before the Nissan Skyline GTR and even mini's (infact any car) all raced on the same track at same time.
Back in 1990, I inquired about getting a Skyline GTS. I knew about the GTR, but wanted a more basic, but unique car in California. Found out that back then Nissan dealers were prohibited from bringing the cars in. The Running joke was that in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County you'd see them all the time. I did find an importer but the car was cost prohibitive.
Actually, there are 2 base of ATTESA 4WD System, the FF base ATTESA 4WD System like Nissan Bluebird SSS-R & Nissan Pulsar GTi-R for competing in Group.A WRC, & FR base ATTESA 4WD System like Nissan Skyline GT-R you mentioned to compete in Group.A Touring Car Racing
I love the R34. It's lines and aggressive look is awesome. The R32 is my second favorite. The R33 is nice but doesn't look much different than R32. Tamiya model kits is the only way I can afford these beauties 😍
When the the American boarder regulation laws loosened for Japanese imports, the the price of a R32, R33 and R34 GTR skyline , sky rocketed everyone knows this outside the USA.
The Australian R32s of the Nissan/Winfield team led by Fred Gibson were arguably the fastest in Group A racing, so fast the Australian officials first tried to knobble them with extra minimum weight and later boost restrictors (which the team sneakily managed to bypass) and even more weight, but it was to no avail, the combination of 4wd and the enormous engine power (with the boost restrictors bypassed) were just too good for their rivals (BTW, The Australian cars did not use the four wheel steer system). The cars were so much faster than the opposition the officials effectively banned them by changing the rules to not allow turbo or supercharging. In its first year at Bathurst the GTR was seven seconds faster than the previous model, the R31 GT-S, and set a race lap time four seconds faster than the previous years fastest lap set by a Sierra Cosworth RS500 which had up to the introduction of the GTR dominated Group A racing.
100 R32 GTR's were imported by Nissan Australia and sold through Nissan dealerships. This was done to satisfy the homologation requirements for the ATCC. They didn't have all the badges the JDM version had, the tail lights were slightly different to the JDM version and only came in black, silver or red. Australia is the only country outside of Japan that sold R32 GTR's.
Here's some facts about how much of a hyperfan I am. I specifically bought a 92 because that was the last year they were allowed to run, and I built it to 630hp because that's how much they entered Group A with before being nerfed, and I did it while still retaining the stock low mount twins configuration. I also bought the car from Yokohama specifically because it's the birthplace of Shinichiro. Yep, I'm a nerd.
Hey I also have a 92. How do you like the factory low mounts running that power? I’m currently running Hks vcam and twin GTIII-SS’s making around 410 and it’s a really linear power band. I wanna step up to around what you’re running and have been debating twins vs single.
BCNR33 are in even higher demand than BNR32s right now. I bought shit myself when I looked up and saw those cars are going for 50k now. It seems like just yesterday when they would sit on lots for 6 months at a time because they were 10k and that was considered over priced. Times have really changed! But I think its just the typical internet fan boy dummies that tell you they hate the BCNR33. Because overall its a great car and the market right now definitely shows that it is more loved than the BNR32.
Fun fact: the HR31 was 4 door Red Velvet interior RWD with the first version DOHC RB20DET also NISSAN deleted the C pillar...which makes them effortlessly cool.
It's funny that every GT-R I race in forza is always slow as balls because I race with no driver assists, so no Attessa system is active. Without that Attessa system, you're just left with a stock motor that feels underwhelming when splitting power to four wheels.
I have owned two Skylines R31 2ltEX (think Holden used same engine in their VN Commodore) and R32 2.5lt GTS. Currently have a JDM Nissan Silvia S14 and Opel Speedster. First car was Nissan C20 Van
@@KeenanStyles too be honest I think that my S14 Silvia is a better car. Handles better if alittle underpowered. Although if you really want th best driving experience. My Lotus Type 116 is like nothing else.
For me, the R32 GT-R IS a supercar in disguise. So with the R33 GT-R and R34 GT-R. Only when R35 GT-R came out, it went all-out, busting other supercars.
Fan of the show and definitely an extremely big Fanboy of the GTRs!. But to be honest some of that was not true! The only GTR that was truly dominating and did dominate up until the 35 came out was the 32. By the time the 33 and the 34 came out Mitsubishi and Subaru had all wheel drive turbo systems and we're much lighter. So by the time everyone started stepping up their game when the r33 and 4 came out they were not dominating. And if anything it was more of a mediocre run up in till the R35 and same thing the R35 came out and dominated Real Racing and the streets and then after a year or two of them setting new rules and handicapping the GTR to give everyone else an advantage... man history started repeating itself and it dropped back to around the middle of the pack as far as supercars go even though I'm the biggest fan boy and think the GTR platform in the Mustang platform of the two best tuning platforms. There are a lot of cars that post up better numbers than the GTR and for around the same price to. That's something people assume a lot but it's definitely not the case the R32 is given the Godzilla name and a lot of American people and kids would say that the R35 is not a true Skyline GT-R just because it doesn't have a Skyline name. But for actual Motorsport enthusiasts an actual GTR fans know the history and take all aspects into account. Meaning off the showroom floor it's definitely not the fastest money could buy any more but dollar-for-dollar first to smash records and run the streets the R35 has been the only one to truly carry on the Godzilla name. especially for aespecially for a use price starting at between 45 to 65000 the 35 is one of the very very few if not the only car for this price range that you could literally throw in a few specialty suspension parts lightweight wheels of your choice throw on a few bolt ons and you're keeping up with cars that are costing well over $100,000 not just in a straight line and handling experience everything. and then to take it a step further and throw money at that engine with some Forge parts the only car you can have that puts down 1300 wheel horsepower that you can literally Drive every single day not worried about your engine going out in a year or two and literally destroy cars that are costing $1000000 Plus. For sure for sure a hundred and twenty $150,000 GTR with tasteful modifications would destroy a 3.4 million dollar LaFerrari hypercar. you can ask all real car enthusiasts especially Japanese enthusiasts who spent years following the scene and watching it and everyone can say the same thing even though the 33 and 34 are amazing and good performers they were riding off of the name and accomplishments of the 32. Now that we're really good winds here and there the rear-wheel-drive Pennzoil R34 GTR is very famous and has a very famous win as well but none of their records come close to the 32.
Wow great read, thanks for the insight Ezekial. I agree, what always makes a Skyline GT-R special is that it punches WAY above it's weight in terms of it's price vs. it's performance. The R35 captured that so well, and I hope one day to own one and I can not wait to see what the R36 has in store for us in a few years. Thanks for the thoughtful response!
Learned one new thing, and that is you don't have to do any research to release a video like this, R32 gtr's were also sold new in Australia not just Japan, rb26 engines were available in 4door sedans but in non turbo form (autech gts-4). Also NISMO remanufacturing many of the discontinued parts, so getting OEM parts is not an issue.
8:10 CORRECTION: There is ONE Skyline GT-R that came in 4-door: the Nissan Skyline (BCNR33) GT-R Autech. It was an R33 GT-R, but with NO TURBOS (or wing), and had 4 doors. It also had a non-turbo front-end.
1 fact you mentioned isn't correct...the R32 was officially sold in Australia and the UK. Wasn't a huge seller, but it was sold in those markets. I remember seeing one in a Nissan dealership in Sydney.
DFB58.....you're wrong, it was never an insult!!! It was called Godzilla because it stomped over everything else and nothing could stop it from winning!!!!!
If you can manage to find a ENR34 then go that route but they are expensive for a N/A R34 and the production numbers are even lower than the BNRs but they are mainly just a BNR without the 26 and Getrag. They have ATESSA ETS and everything. Most go for mid 30s. If not find a clean ER34 coupe that hasn't been beat on. If you can find a N/A auto that would be perfect as they are the least expensive and most havent been abused. Then build from there. ER34 coupe turbos it is almost too late for them. Most are rapidly approaching 40k and they arent legal until 2023 so I cant even imagine what they will be like when they are legal. With the way the demand is now in the R34 coupe market I definitely see ER34 turbos costing just as much as BCNR33s if not a little more even though the BCNR33 is a much better car. I bought a ER34 N/A auto coupe February 2018 grade 4 from the auction and it costed after the fees and delivery $3200. But now the same exact car is easily bringing in 12k just 2 and a half years later, its crazy.
Its weird watching Americans talk about skylines like they've had them for years. Lol. A few facts for the Americans. The r32 GTR was sold new in Australia. Limited run but was sold here. They did actually make an r33 4 door GTR. Made by autech and extremely rare. The hicas system is great in theory but in my experience it causes more problems than it solves. The r31 skyline was actually built in Australia and uses an rb30 engine. Buy a stagea. Its literally an r33 skyline wagon. Much rarer and better than a skyline.
That's not a GT-R. It's a stagea, people convert the front end (not just the bumper) as the chassis is close enough to make the conversion fairly straightforward. There is no Stagea GT-R
LOL people don't know there are R3X sedans? I own 1 R34 sedan myself haha just sold off another one I had and am in the process of building an RB30DET for my current one, it's in immaculate condition but the engine and body has 300XXX kms on it so engine swap / rebuild is necessary, although looking at it when originally purchasing I thought it had < 100xxx kms considering how good shape the body / chassis is in aswell as interior being perfect in every way. They're my favourite skyline hahahaha
Don't forget that the Nürburgring was way different (read: slower) back then compared to now. So times would not be comparable, but if you would want to do that, take into account that the R32 would be faster on todays version of the ring.
Wow...the Porsche 959 had the all-wheel drivetrain but didn't take home nearly the amount of gold trophies the R32 GT-R took in a year. That's pretty impressive.
The Funeral skid shown near the start is not a GTR, famous New Zealand video, but never claimed to be a GTR, it's surprising that some of you need to be told there's lower spec skylines. Australia even has there own designed and assemble R31
I've seen a few r32 gtr in Canada for sale around 30k witch is nice tbh for the price but when and if I buy one I'd import one from Japan for a legit example or get a real one that's already in Canada
I've owned both, it depends on your definition of win. These are both very different cars manufactured for very different purposes. Why people call them rivals is beyond my comprehension because they arent. Not even close. Each of them has their pros and cons to the point its boils down to what your end plan is with each. I like violence, reliability, durability, analog, and full time RWD which is why I sold my BNR32 for a JZA80. However someone who's not a brute and loves balancs and sophistication may learn towards a BNR32.
fun fact: I still can't afford one
Fun fact: me too
Fun fact: me tooo

The reason for that is simply durability, refinement, and reliability.
That's why I'm more into R32 and R33 GTR than R34.
R34 GTR is a overhyped car.
the r34 was only in the hype because of the fast and furious, i like the r34 but it looks like an illegal street car without the r32 and r33 having a race car design that i like a lot

100 were sold In Australia, how many in NZ? Do you have a link to any info on NZDM ones? I don't believe there we ever sold in nz new
I love how Japan came up with the Gentleman's agreement but everyone proceeded to broke that rule
the council has decided to make a dcision, but given that it is a stupid ass decision, i chose to ignore it

Most are rapidly approaching 40k and they arent legal until 2023 so I cant even imagine what they will be like when they are legal. With the way the demand is now in the R34 coupe market I definitely see ER34 turbos costing just as much as BCNR33s if not a little more even though the BCNR33 is a much better car. I bought a ER34 N/A auto coupe February 2018 grade 4 from the auction and it costed after the fees and delivery $3200. But now the same exact car is easily bringing in 12k just 2 and a half years later, its crazy.
GTSt 32s are selling for well over 20k usd now. Even JP auction prices are like 18k+ regularly, if you can even find one
Now I wonder GTR also had a Porsche turbo acceleration as well with half the price 😅👍
Its weird watching Americans talk about skylines like they've had them for years. Lol.
A few facts for the Americans.
The r32 GTR was sold new in Australia. Limited run but was sold here.
They did actually make an r33 4 door GTR. Made by autech and extremely rare.
The hicas system is great in theory but in my experience it causes more problems than it solves.
The r31 skyline was actually built in Australia and uses an rb30 engine.
Buy a stagea. Its literally an r33 skyline wagon. Much rarer and better than a skyline.
Here's a fact that YOU might bot know.
They weren't just JDM, Nissan sold a limited number in Australia too.
3:06. Hey I remember commenting on this for you guys 😂 nice.
Can yall make a video of cheap express vans for road trip or camping
You should start playing car games each day like you post a video and 2 hours later you post a gaming video
No one watched our last sim racing vid 😢
@@IdealMediaChannel I’m so sorry 😔
R33 is my favorite hands down!
It was also sold over here in the UK.
From r32 beyond the GTR has almost always smashed it's true competition. You always have to be higher in price and or power to beat it
I still like my 1989 R32 GTR best. My 900 plus HP in the lightest GTR made is the quickest car out there. it really is Godzilla
My Favorite GTR is the Stagea GTR with a R34 Nismo Front Bumper 👍🏻
That's not a GT-R. It's a stagea, people convert the front end (not just the bumper) as the chassis is close enough to make the conversion fairly straightforward.
There is no Stagea GT-R
When Squid presented the video and the comments keep calling for Brad...😅
We're all Brad's here.
LOL people don't know there are R3X sedans? I own 1 R34 sedan myself haha just sold off another one I had and am in the process of building an RB30DET for my current one, it's in immaculate condition but the engine and body has 300XXX kms on it so engine swap / rebuild is necessary, although looking at it when originally purchasing I thought it had < 100xxx kms considering how good shape the body / chassis is in aswell as interior being perfect in every way. They're my favourite skyline hahahaha
Fun Fact: Japan wasn't the only country to have the r32 .there was 100 ADM models sold in Australia
Don't forget that the Nürburgring was way different (read: slower) back then compared to now. So times would not be comparable, but if you would want to do that, take into account that the R32 would be faster on todays version of the ring.
edit at 3:27 the video show an AMS PERFORMANCE GTR not Extreme Turbo System GTR
Wow...the Porsche 959 had the all-wheel drivetrain but didn't take home nearly the amount of gold trophies the R32 GT-R took in a year. That's pretty impressive.
The Funeral skid shown near the start is not a GTR, famous New Zealand video, but never claimed to be a GTR, it's surprising that some of you need to be told there's lower spec skylines. Australia even has there own designed and assemble R31
U didn’t mention the autech version which was 4 door and had an na rb26 in it.
Dang, now America is vacuuming up the worlds remaining R32, R33 GTR supplies making prices rise everywhere!!
One of my favorite cars. I wish I could buy one
4:30 in Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney, Australia
What a legend the GTR IS 😘
You pronounced Hakosuka wrong like most people do. Ha-ko-ssss-ka.
How about the V35/V36/V37 Skylines?
We plan on doing stuff about the G37 soon, maybe early next year.
V36 🤤🤤
I prefer the 4 door gts-t it's my dream car! In white please.
And that is why the r32 gtr is my dream car
I've seen a few r32 gtr in Canada for sale around 30k witch is nice tbh for the price but when and if I buy one I'd import one from Japan for a legit example or get a real one that's already in Canada
Yeah they're going up in price fast, last year they were floating closer to 20-25K now they're 30K easy.
@@IdealMediaChannel I want one tbh but I'm only 15 but the r35 is still going down so soon the prices will corss each other for both cars
I would say my favorite skyline is the the R33 model
First video I've watched and I early
One of these days!!
Hey squidd 👋🏻
AYYYY 👽
Supra mk4 vs r32 who would win?
Probably Supra but I'd rather have the R32 personally.
I've owned both, it depends on your definition of win. These are both very different cars manufactured for very different purposes. Why people call them rivals is beyond my comprehension because they arent. Not even close. Each of them has their pros and cons to the point its boils down to what your end plan is with each. I like violence, reliability, durability, analog, and full time RWD which is why I sold my BNR32 for a JZA80. However someone who's not a brute and loves balancs and sophistication may learn towards a BNR32.
9:30 yes the gtr had crossed their legs when it seend the ae86 because of initial d
The gtr awd system wasn’t “inspired” by the 959 it was “copied” then slightly tweaked 😬🙄😬
