Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R with 1,500 HP

There are many car projects in the world that have been more or less successfully completed, and this time we present to you the unique R32 Skyline GT-R. This project is the work of Australian David Anton and the result is a car with an incredible power of 1,500 hp, making it one of the most powerful R32 Skyline GT-R in the world.

The story of this super powerful car was published on the YouTube channel “Larry Chen”. So what did Anton do? He put together two parts from two engines, an RD28 block from a 3.2 liter diesel and an RB26 head, creating arguably the most powerful diesel Skyline GT-R in the world. Then, he installed a Turbo 400 with a three-speed racing gearbox, which sends power to all wheels.

Speaking of the car, Anton states that his R32 Skyline GT-R reaches 298 km/h on the drag track. He could go faster, but he had to let off the gas pedal to avoid being punished because he doesn’t have a roll cage. In the 1/4 mile, the car had a time of 8.5 seconds with a top speed of 257 km/h. If Anton had not had to let off the gas pedal, he would have achieved a time of 8.2 or 8.3 seconds.

When it comes to design, Anton tried to keep it as stock looking as possible. The car is equipped with 15×8 TE37 wheels wrapped in P275/50 R15 GT Street tires. There are also stock brakes from the R32 Skyline GT-R.

Nissan R32 EV Coming Soon

Nissan has announced that it is working on a unique R32 EV prototype, an electric version of one of its best cars, the R32 Skyline GT-R. It is based on the idea of one of Nissan’s engineers who joined Nissan precisely because of the GT-R model.

The standard Nissan R32 is powered by a 2.6L twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine with 316 hp (232 kW), but it was understated due to the Japanese car makers’ “gentlemen’s agreement” not to exceed 276 hp (203 kW). It was built to handle ~500 hp in racing trim, making it considered indestructible, which allowed tuners to add hundreds of horsepower. How popular the car actually is is shown by the fact that it was nicknamed “Godzilla”. It was also very successful which was transmitted to the road via a “very complicated” four-wheel drive. This car was extremely successful in motorsport and was nicknamed “Godzilla”.

“I want to make a more exciting car by giving my favorite model the latest electrification technology that I deal with,” said the unnamed engineer.

Whether the R32 EV project will simply be adding electrification to the Skyline’s internal combustion engine to create a hybrid despite the video showing the engine firing and running, as this could only mark the beginning of the prototype’s journey, is unknown.
