Cannot bleieve that somebody would take the cover off of another person's car in a garage. Good thing they did not catch you. I would have freaked out on you.

Right, I see that it is RHD, but out of curiosity, for my own future reference, how does one positively identify an R32 Skyline as a GT-R? I know the GT-R has more flared fenders than the GTS and lower models, but they all had slight flare to them, and its hard to tell from the pic. Plus, one could add the GT-R fenders to any GT-R in theory (admittedly doubtful you'd see that on an imported car however). I guess the interior is probably a good indicator though - I think the other models had a more pedestrian look to them.

The thing about this car is it seems to have non-GT-R wheels. Could just be his winter wheels though. Or maybe he took off the stock wheels so they would not get stolen while its sits unused in the garage.

lol people key other people's car all the time and suddenly this becomes an issue? I said I was very excited to see a r32 and got hot blooded. But if you don't react the same way, you are 80% unlikely a car enthusiast, and that means these picture are not meant to be seen by you.

well, GTR has always been GTRs. R32 is actually just the code, much like R35 the current version. The model name is GTR skyline. I'm not sure about the wheels.

I've seen a couple in the past few months, they will be all over the place soon since they are legal now. They're also priced around the same as every other 80s-90s japanese sports car. ~$13-15k in decent condition.

Ok, see, yeah, I figured you were probably confused. Many think the GT-R is the same thing as the Skyline. Common misconception. The GT-R actually just one trim level of the Skyline. It happens to be the highest performance model (well, there are special versions, like Nismo this and V-Spec that, and whatever else). You can read all about on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline

Now its true that as of the R35, the GT-R is its own model, no longer carrying the Skyline name (There is still a Skyline model though, and in fact it happens to be what we call the Q50/Q60).

Yeah I read on wiki as well but I definitely misunderstood. Thanks for the knowledge! but judging from the exterior, interior, I think it is a r32 gtr.

mkoesel is wondering if it's a real GTR or a GTS-T with GTR badging.

Nissan nut checking in.

It's a GT-R, carspotters guide -
1. Front and rear flared guards are wider. Easiest to tell with the rears.
2. Front bumper and bonnet are different for the GT-R (but could be changed)
3. Rear spoiler is GT-R specific (but could be added)






They are very different cars underneath of course. Biggest difference being the famous twin turbo 2.6L straight-6 (RB26DETT). I'd go so far as to say more difference between base model to GT-R than 318i to an M3.
