When Nissan released the '89 Nissan Skyline GT-R, there was nothing that could touch it at the time. It produced a whopping 300+ horsepower from its 2.6L turbo inline-6, and put the power to the ground with a robust 4WD system. For the R33 and R34, this engine and transmission combination remained largely the same, with just a few refinements to the turbocharger and how torque was distributed to the wheels.

100% stock, no oil change.

R32
304 hp / 6,600 rpm
289 ft-lb / 4,400 rpm
1,430 kg
453 pp

R33
319 hp / 6,800 rpm
309 ft-lb / 4,400 rpm
1,530 kg
458 pp

R34
327 hp / 6,800 rpm
341 ft-lb / 4,400 rpm
1,540 kg
468 pp

Of course, it's time to spill the lap times!

2:22.209 - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) '99
2:24.233 - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) '95
2:25.037 - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) '89

The R34 crosses the line hand in hand with the Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) '08!

The Toyota Supra RZ '97 is about half a second faster than the R33.
