They See Me Rollin' - Nissan Skyline GTR Edition
Nissan Skyline Nismo 400R
Potentially the peak of the Skyline road car family, this
limited-edition GT-R completely reworked the R33 using inspiration from
the GT-R LM that had raced in the 1994 and 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours.
Swapping out the RB26DETT for the RB-X GT2 produced by tuning company
Reinik, displacement was increased to 2.8 litres due to boring and
stroking.
This made for 395bhp and 347lb ft of torque which was combined with carbon driveshafts and a carbonfibre rear wing making for the most extreme road-going Skyline yet. Considering the RB-X engine proved itself at Le Mans and Pikes Peak, the 400R has some solid motorsport DNA within it and as only 44 examples were ever produced, you’ll struggle to find one for much less than $85,000 (£68,000).
