Presenting an exceptional 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R, finished in the iconic Gun Gray Metallic (KH2). This meticulously maintained example of the legendary BNR32 GT-R is an original Japanese-delivered car, with only 75,000 kilometers on the odometer, documented with service records. Revered as one of the most significant performance cars of all time, the R32 GT-R cemented its place in automotive history through dominance in motorsport and its groundbreaking technology that reshaped the world of high-performance road cars.
Unveiled in 1989, the R32 GT-R earned the nickname "Godzilla" after its complete domination in Group A racing. Equipped with the revolutionary ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system and the RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine, the GT-R redefined what a road-going performance car could achieve. The model won every single Japanese Touring Car Championship (JTCC) race it entered between 1989 and 1993, secured victory at the Bathurst 1000 in 1991 and 1992, and outclassed the competition in global motorsport. With a factory-rated 280 horsepower (widely believed to be underrated), its real-world performance exceeded expectations, making it a technological marvel that continues to be revered today.
This particular example stands out not only for its originality but also for its impeccable maintenance history. Recently, it underwent a major engine service at the highly respected Garage Yoshida, a revered name among Skyline GT-R specialists in Japan. The service included extensive replacement of wear-and-tear components, most notably the timing belt, ensuring the RB26DETT engine remains in optimal condition. Additionally, since November 2024, the car has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility, preserving its condition and safeguarding it for future ownership.
Gun Gray Metallic (KH2) is one of the most sought-after factory colors for the R32 GT-R, perfectly complementing the car’s aggressive yet refined design. Its understated yet purposeful appearance remains as striking today as it was in 1989, embodying the essence of Japanese performance engineering.
With collector demand for well-preserved R32 GT-Rs continuing to rise, values have surged significantly in recent years. Classic.com data shows an upward trajectory for prices, particularly for original, low-mileage, and well-documented examples like this one.
