The Legendary Godzilla!!

Oh the r32, perhaps my favorite gtr in particular. She was first sold in 1989 at $31,000 off the lot. Her base models featured the rb20 just as the r31 did. The gtr variant had a 2.6L rb26 straight six with twin turbskies. The rb26 is a popular engine in the jdm community for swaps. The twin turbo setups wastegate limiter was set a 10 psi, yet the engine still pushed 316 horsies in the back (in the front actually).

Although the car produced 316hp, it was listed as to only have 276 horsepower due to Japans Gentleman's Agreement. The agreement basically limited the horsepower of advertised cars to 271. Originally designed for group a racing, it was made for 500 horsepower, but with all the restrictions it came out with 316. The r32 was actually the first skyline to be called and earn the nickname “godzilla”. The pressed called it godzilla because it was a monster from japan. Godzilla earned the name after beating the Ford Sierra and winning the Bathurst 1000 in 1991.
