Vehicle Detail
1990 Nissan Skyline Nismo (The post says 1980 because eBay system does not recognize the VIN from Japan and will not let me list the car unless it is built before 1981. It is a 1990)Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo Can Not Be Registered in USA or Driven on Public Roads!! The odometer reading in in KM not Miles. It is equal to 8,000 milesUS Government Seized Vehicle The Nismo R32 GT-R was sold as a homologation special for racing starting February 22, 1990. 560 total cars were produced; only 500 were sold to the public. This car is all wheel drive with four wheel steering. The car is right hand drive. Everything works as new. This car runs perfect! I’m still doing research on this particular car. It is not easy to find a history on a car that was smuggled into the country illegally. It’s obvious that the car was stored indoors all of its life. Everything looks new including every grommet and gasket under the car. It appears that this car came from Japan as it is now. It still has about 8,000 original miles. This was either one of the first Nismo cars built or it was purchased and then taken to Nismo for the upgrades. Every upgrade from Nismo appears to be in place and professionally installed, it looks like a factory car.I have my Texas dealer License and Texas Dismantler License. I purchased this car directly from the US Government with a strict directive that it must be dismantled, never to be registered in the US. It can be sold as a race car for track purpose use only, it can be exported out of the USA. I have an exporter that can handle all of the export requirements. If you wish to have the car exported you will need to contact me and let me know the destination so I can tell you what the fees and requirements are. Do that before you bid! I’m really not sure what to do with this car. Do not ask me to do anything illegal or shady. Before you take delivery of this vehicle I will need to verify your intentions to use it for racing only or export it. After I know your intentions I will confirm with the government that the vehicle can be sold for that purpose. Parts?? Yes, I can dismantle the car and sell you the parts. You can inspect the vehicle as it is in running condition before any parts are removed. I will not begin to dismantle this car unless I have a buyer that wishes to purchase the majority of the major components and we have agreed upon a price. Title? I have all of the paperwork from the US Government assigning ownership of the car to my dealership. I cannot give you a title but I can give you copies of my government papers and a bill of sale. The car is currently located in New Braunfels Texas, near Austin and San Antonio. Here is some information I was able to find: The car is popular for import Drag Racing, Circuit Track, Time Attack and events hosted by tuning magazines. The GT-R is the winner in the 2007 Tsukuba Time Attack held in Japan—the M-Speed GT-R (9 out of the top 15 cars consists of GT-Rs). Production of the Skyline GT-R ended in August 2002. The Skyline GT-R was never manufactured outside of Japan, and the sole export markets were Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, in 1991 and the UK (in 1997, thanks to the Single Vehicle Approval scheme) as used Japanese imports. Despite this the car has become an iconic sports car, including in countries from the Western World (mainly the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada). You are most likely to see this car on the racing video games as one of the top picks. HICAS HICAS is the acronym for Nissans rear wheel steering system named High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering. HICAS works using different sensors which calculate speed, steering angle and corner position the rear wheels are steered by a maximum of 1 degree based on these measurements. HICAS helps eliminate body and give the car a more nimble feel. Race team’s usually use a lock bar to disable the HICAS system which improves the Skylines balance, resulting in more predicable handling and faster lap times. This skyline uses a hydraulic system which has speed sensors and uses the power steering pump to steer the rear wheels. Nissan RB engine The RB engine is a RB26 - 2.6 L (2568 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 73.7 mm straight-6 four-stroke petrol/gasoline engine from Nissan. The RB26DETT engine is a 2.6L Inline-6 engine manufactured by Nissan, for use primarily in the 1989-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R. The RB26DETT engine block is made from cast iron, and the cylinder head is made from aluminum. The cylinder head contains 24 valves (4 valves per cylinder), all cam lobes move only one valve it and uses a dual overhead camshaft setup. The intake of the RB26DETT varies from other RB-series motors in that it has six individual throttle bodies instead of a single throttle body. The engine also uses a parallel twin-turbo system. The turbo system is arranged so that the front turbo is powered by the front 3 cylinders, and the rear turbo is powered by the rear 3 cylinders. The RB26DETT uses a pair of T28-type ceramic turbochargers. The Skyline GT-R has a built in boost restrictor to keep boost under 14 psi. All RB engines have belt-driven cams and a cast iron block. This turbo model has an intercooled turbo and a recirculating factory blow off valve to reduce boost surge when the throttle is closed. Bore and stroke All Nissan engines follow a naming convention, identifying the engine family (in this case, RB), displacement, and features present- see the list of Nissan engines for detail. The stock dimensions for the RB engines; RB26 - 2.6 L (2568 cc, bore: 86.0 mm, stroke: 73.7 mm) "D" indicates a dual overhead cam as opposed to a single overhead cam "E" indicates the engine is electronically fuel-injected "S" indicates the engine is carbureted "T" indicates the engine has a factory installed turbocharger "TT" indicates the engine has factory installed twin turbochargers RB26DETT The first 2.6 L RB26DETT featured twin-turbochargers and produced around 280 hp (206 kW) @ 6800 rpm and 260 lb·ft (353 Nm) @ 4400 rpm. The last series of the RB26DETT produced 280 PS (206 kW) @ 6800 rpm and 289 lb·ft (392 Nm) @ 4400 rpm. } The reason for this discrepancy is a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese automakers to limit the advertised horsepower of any vehicle to 280 PS (276HP). It is widely known for its strength and extreme power potential. It is not uncommon for 600 hp to be achieved without modification of the engine internals.( I believe this vehicle is at or near that mark now) With regular maintenance, many of these engines have been driven well beyond the 100,000 mile mark with a few heading toward 200,000 miles. With extreme modification, the RB26 motor is capable of power in excess of 1 megawatt (or over 1,340 hp).

Production This new 2.6 L all-wheel drive concept was put into production as the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R. The R32 developed 206 kW (276 hp) and 266 lb·ft (361 N·m) of torque, it had a curb weight of 1,430 kg (3,146 lbs). Initial production of the car was the required 510 to allow for homologation starting on May 22, 1989. Its successful debut along with critical acclaim by the motoring press created a heavy demand for the car. Nissan officially started an unlimited production run August 1989, and began its Group A campaign in 1990. Due to strict Group A homologation rules, Nissan was required to also sell a series of the Skyline GT-R which more accurately reflected the car they use in Group A racing. This series was called the Skyline GT-R 'Nismo' edition. The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced on February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing. Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more down force. The 'Nismo' GT-R was only available in Gunmetal Grey. Send me a message if you want to talk about this or see it in person. Include your phone # and email, I have many more pictures. I am open to interesting ideas, trades etc.
