Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR32

1989.08 : In the Skyline range the most powerful GT-R (BNR32) model was revived after a 16 year break. Since the first generation KPGC-10 Skyline GT-R coupe was launched in 1970, the Skyline GT-R has established a brilliant record of success in numerous motor sport events as a high-performance machine representative of Japanese automotive technology.

The powertrain feature of R32 Skyline GT-R is a RB26DETT 2.6-liter IL6 DOHC with twin ceramic turbocharges and an intercooler, ATTESA ET-S which controls all wheel drive systems electronically and HICAS four wheel steering system. The ATTESA ET-S optimally controls the torque distribution to the front and rear wheels according to the driving conditions. It significantly improves vehicle controllability while cornering.
Yaw rate feedback control had been adopted to the phase reversal control procedure in Nissan's Super HICAS four-wheel steering system. This control procedure enhances vehicle stability on rough roads and when traveling at high speed.
