Summary:

The HR32 Skyline debuted in May 1989. It was available as either a hardtop 2-door or 4-door sedan/saloon. It featured several versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines, which had improved heads (the twelve port inlet was gone) and used the ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System) injection system. Also available were an 1800 cc 4 cylinder GXi model. Most models had HICAS four wheel steering, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5 litre version became one of the first cars made in Japan to feature a 5 speed automatic transmission. All 2 litre turbo and non-turbo versions with automatic transmissions were 4 speed.

R32 Models:

* GXi Type-X - 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW)
* GTE Type-X - 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW, 172 Nm)
* GTS Type-X, S, J - 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW, 184 Nm)
* GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG - 2.5 L RB25DE I6, 180 hp (132 kW, 231 Nm)
* GTS-t Type-M - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 Nm)
* GTS-4 - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 Nm) 4WD
* GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280 hp (206 kW, 368 Nm) 4WD also NISMO, V-Spec and V-Spec II variants.

Also based on the Skyline platform were the A31 Cefiro and C33 Laurel. All 3 cars are very popular in Japan (and other countries to which they are imported secondhand) for drifting. In Japan, the CA18i engine in the GXi is sometimes swapped for an SR20DET (4 cylinder turbo), resulting in a lighter and better-balanced car than the factory six-cylinder turbo models.

The GTS-t is one of the best RWD cars around. If you enjoy drifting you will enjoy this Skyline!
