So, the very first Nissan Skyline GT-R appeared about twenty years ago. Undoubtedly, the introduction of a 2-liter engine with a capacity of 110 liters. With. In a rather ineffective-looking Skyline sedan, the 1960th sedan created the car as amazing for its time that his namesake turned out to be in the 90s. It was the year 1989,-after the 16 years after the death of the first GT-R line caused by the oil crisis in 1973, is called the year of the actual birth of the model. As before, the new GT-R was based on the modest Skyline chassis, becoming the eighth generation of Nissan, an E-BNR32 series. The powerful motor was still a decisive element here. NISMO (Nissan Motorsports), the Nissan sports department, took up the development of the machine, not in the last turn due to the fact that the R32 GT-R was supposed to replace the outdated R31 GTS-R model on the track. For this purpose, it was planned to equip a new 312 car with a strong six-cylinder in-line engine with a double turbocharged volume of 2350 cm3, which could allow GT-R to perform in the class 4000 cm3 (which was possible when recounting to a coefficient of 1. 7 for turbo kars, in accordance with the requirements for group A of that time). However, in order to make sure that the R32 will gain an advantage over his rivals, the chief engineer Naganori, the event, decided to go further. Inspired by the successes of Porsche 959, he asked his team to develop a high -tech full -wheel drive system. So the ATTESA E-TS Pro system appeared-(Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque SPLIT)-which, using the transverse and longitudinal component of the acceleration, as well as receiving ABS sensors about the speed of each wheels, allowed a multidimensional Direct the clutch with hydraulic drive when it was necessary, up to 50 % of GT-R power to the front wheels. Super-Hicas supported by Hicas (High Capacy Actively Controlled Suspension-steering system, on four wheels that can be found in other Skyline chassis, without a doubt gave it advantages in control and clutch power. But here there was a place of a drawback: beneficial systems added GT-R weight. The decision of Nimo was an increase in engine volume to 2568 cm3, throwing the car to a step -class step 4500 cm3, where its rivals were subordinated to the requirements of an increased minimum mass. When the road version of the R32 Skyline GT-R was put up for sale in August 1989, official power 2. 6 -liter engine was 280 liters. With. — to the maximum permitted at that time in Japan by the «Gentlemani Agreement» for output power. In reality, he gave out more than 300 liters. With., which, along with phenomenal handling and relatively affordable price, have received more than enthusiastic reviews. Wheels Magazine magazine in Australia-in one of the main export markets GT-R-without hesitation announced the «coming» of the new supercar, lovingly calling it «Godzilla on wheels». Australian fans of races were not amazed when GT-R began to beat their beloved Ford and Holden on the track, including the main Bathurst 1000 race in 1991 and 1992. The second of these victories Nissan was deprived of a gloss of popularity, due to the abolition of the race due to an unexpected rain that caused several accidents. Even though GT-R, with his pilots, Jim Richards and Mark Skyfa found himself among the victims, this car was declared a winner, since she occupied a leading position in the previous circle. Then this message caused a great discontent between the audience who boasted Richards and Skyfa when they went to the podium. In response, Richards called them «a herd of donkeys»…
Returning home, GT-R began to dominate the Japanese championship of touring cars, winning for four consecutive years since 1990 and fuel interest in the road version GT-R. The initial plan to build only 5. 000 R32 GT-R, in order to undergo homologation to comply with the requirements, were soon forgotten. By 1994, when the R32 was discontinued, about 40 were sold. 000 cars, and Nissan got a new idol of the automotive world.
