1991 NISSAN SKYLINE (R32)

KEY FACTS

  • A smart example of the Japanese modern classic, benefitting from a recent respray and now with a more powerful turbocharged engine and manual gearbox.
  • Under the bonnet is the retrofitted 2.5-litre turbocharged ‘RB25DET’ inline-six, which sends approximately 245bhp to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.
  • Built as an R32-generation Skyline GTS-25, the car was imported into the UK from Japan in August 1999, but was only re-registered with the DVLA in August 2021.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • Originally equipped with the 178bhp naturally aspirated RB25DE engine and an automatic transmission, this Skyline has since been retrofitted with the turbocharged RB25DET unit from a later R33-generation example, as well as that car’s five-speed manual gearbox.
  • While it left the factory with silver paintwork, the car has been fully resprayed in the eye-catching hue of Active Red, but retains all of its original upholstery and interior trim.
  • Additional modifications include the car’s Blitz air filter and downpipe, a decat exhaust pipe, a 5zigen performance exhaust system and a HICAS lockout bar, which disables the rear steering system.
  • This Skyline will be accompanied by original fax documents for its importation, and MOT test certificates from 2005 and 2020.

CONDITION

  • There is no known bodywork damage.
  • Fully resprayed to a high standard, the Active Red paintwork is in excellent overall condition, with a bright and glossy appearance, and only a handful of small blemishes, including a stone chip on the passenger side-skirt and a scuff on the passenger door shut.
  • Inside, the cabin is almost entirely original, and as such does show a few signs of wear, with two small bubbles on the dashboard above the glovebox, a small hole in the driver’s footwell carpet, slight peeling of the vinyl trim on the rear quarters, and some minor wear on the aftermarket HKS gear knob.
  • There are no known mechanical issues; however the seller notes that the car’s speakers may have blown and need to be replaced. Furthermore, the original CD changer is missing and the driver’s-side door mirror does not fold in as it should.
  • The water temperature and oil pressure sensors have previously been replaced, and the speedometer drive unit has been changed, so the odometer now reads in miles rather than kilometres.
  • The seller states that the car’s last MOT test was conducted in August 2021, which resulted in a clean pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • This Skyline’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in June 2021 at an indicated 73,951 miles, which is when the original engine was swapped for the more powerful turbocharged unit. This also included an engine oil, oil filter, spark plug and gearbox oil change, and was completed by Gemini Motorworks.

SUMMARY

This 1991 Nissan Skyline is a handsome example of the R32-generation sports coupe, which has been substantially upgraded with the addition of a later RB25DET turbocharged engine and an engaging manual transmission. Otherwise largely original in specification, this Skyline will no doubt impress JDM enthusiasts, and should make a fun addition to any collection of modern classics.
