In 1989 Nissan debuted the GT-R to compete in the*JTC (Japan Touring Car)
Group A*racing series. The*GT-R was undefeated in its first season. 4 years
running the GT-R won the championship in the JTC Group A series, a record of
29 wins out of 29 races.
Because of its dominance, the Skyline was given its own series in 1994 the
JGTC, (Japan GT car) series.
In 1991 Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race (First participation) Skyline GT-R
won the Group N class. At the Spa Francorchamps 24 hour endurance race 1991
the GT-R won overall beating Group A, and Group N1 cars. From 1991 -1997 the
Skyline was undefeated in N1 endurance racing in Japan, winning 50 times.
Nissan never produced a Skyline GT-R to comply with the United States
standards.
From 1989 -1999 there were 3 models of Skyline GT-R produced. The R32, R33,
and the R34. Each features the RB26DETT engine, ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive
system, and Nissan's Super HICAS four wheel steering system.
The engine is 2.6 liter, dual overhead cam, 24 valve, twin turbo charged, and
intercooled producing 276 hp @ 6800rpm, capable of handling over 600 hp without
internal modifications.
The ATTESA E-TS system an electronically controlled all wheel drive system.
When the computer senses a loss of traction it automatically sends up to 50 %
of the torque to the front wheels. Under normal conditions the car remains
rear wheel drive.
The R33 and R34 are available with ATTESA E-TS Pro. The Pro system includes a
more aggressively controlled torque splitting computer and an electronically
controlled limited slip differential in the rear end.

2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GTR
The Skyline GT-R is arguably Japan's most popular sports car.
It is powered by an intercooled twin turbo 2.6 litre in-line six
which produces 206kW@6800rpm and 368Nm@4400rpm.
These figures don't even hint at the GT-R's performance credentials.
The GT-R V-SPEC is driven through a complex 4WD system called
(ATTESA E-TS Pro) which considers drive and brake forces and
precisely distributes torque independently to each of the four wheels
to ensure maximum grip in all conditions and at all times!
A complex system also controls the steering angle of the rear wheels
according to the vehicle's speed and Yaw rate. The result of such
integrated advanced technology is that the GT-R is next to Porsche's
911 turbo (which is 3.6 litres) as being the world's fastest production
turbo 4WD car!!!
What we all do know that the Skyline is a beast waiting to be
unleashed as the inline-six twin turbo engine can be pushed to
horsepowers near the 1000's. An excellent example of this is the
Veilside Skyline (yeah those people who made those crazy ass
COMBAT kits) which it is powered by HKS Turbos, a six speed
transimision that gives about 980bhp. It does the quarter mile in
about 10.1 sec.
Intre timp am aflat ca cel mai rapid skyline, a facut acum ceva vreme 2,1
secunde pana in suta (0-100km/h) ... binenteles cu slick-uri.
