Sedan
This generation of the model, which began to be produced in May 1989 in the bodies of the R32 series, was created in order to restore the traditional sports image of Skyline. In fact, in this model, the designers set the goal of resurrecting the glory of the GT-R modification after a 16-year break. In a small compact body, the rear space of the cabin was sacrificed, the chassis was completely updated, the technical filling of the engines became even more perfect, all-wheel drive modifications appeared. As a result of the most difficult work, even in the form of “civilian” versions, the public was presented with an almost perfect car for its time, whose sporting inclinations were not worth doubting.
 In the new generation, the Nissan Skyline was already not so rich in body types, but still offered buyers ample opportunities for choice. This is not to say that there is an abyss between the basic version and the top-end configuration, but still such a comparison comes to mind if we compare the simplest version of the Skyline GXi with a 1.8-liter engine, which cost the buyer 1.4 million. yen, and the luxurious modification of the GTS-t Type M with a 2.5-liter engine, the price of which reached almost 2.5 million. And if you add to this the all-wheel drive Skyline GTS-4, which appeared a few months later, this difference becomes even more noticeable - more than twice. But it is precisely the top Skyline configurations equipped with a sports aero body kit, wide wheels on aluminum castings with a diameter of 16 inches, a rear wiper, a leather braid of the steering wheel adjustable in two planes, an upgraded brake system and suspension used and are still very popular as a sports car, which allows enjoy your power. Skyline is equipped with engines from 1.8 to 2.5 liters. The most modest engine produces 91 hp - This is a 4-cylinder engine that does not differ in outstanding characteristics. Another thing is the RB Series two-liter engines - these 6-cylinder in-line engines demonstrate exceptional performance and reliability. Their power, depending on the modification, lies within wide limits: from 125 “forces” for version “2. 0 GTE ”to 215“ horses ”in GTS-t turbocharged trim levels. There is also a version with a 2.5-liter engine that produces 180 hp. In all versions, the car is equipped with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

 Nissan Skyline R32 is equipped with a new multi-link suspension on all 4 wheels. This greatly improved the comfortable component of operation. Sports modifications of the GTS with turbo engines include, among other things, the 4WS system, an all-wheel drive implemented using multi-plate clutch with electronically controlled axial torque distribution. Under normal driving conditions, the classic rear-wheel drive is maintained, and when they slip, up to 50% of the torque is transmitted to the front axle. If we take into account the presence of the LSD differential in the rear axle, we get a beast machine at all: the Skyline GTS-t type M is capable of accelerating to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds, and this is not even famous for its power GT-R.

 With the new generation of Skyline, security requirements have grown significantly. So the rejection of the 4-door hardtop, which was released before, was inevitable. The car received a more perfect body, which includes a fully three-point seat belts; child seat mounts; optional - ABS system, driver's airbag. In 1991, the car was restyled and revised in terms of safety, in particular, received additional stiffeners in the doors. Nissan Skyline is a very bright, stylish car that looks radically different from previous generations. Even today it looks great in the traffic stream, not to mention to demonstrate its fighting character, if it is a sports version. Due to its characteristics, this series has become very popular among right-hand drive cars imported into our country in the 90s. And to this day, a significant part of these machines is in good technical condition, which gives great opportunities for choice.
