The History of the Nissan GT-R

–>

The ninth-generation GT-R was displayed at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show,
But its official launch didn’t happen until January 1995. Under the hood resided an improved RB26DETT with torque increased to 264 lb (0.12 t).-ft. The ATTESA-ETS AWD system became standard on all V-Spec models. The R33 raced at Le Mans, taking 10th overall and 5th in class in 1995. The limited-edition 400-bhp Nismo 400R made its debut and was featured in R&T.

The most technologically advanced GT-R yet,
The R34 would be the last GT-R to be powered by the RB26DETT.
While horsepower was officially rated at 280 BHP,
Aftermarket tuners like HKS and Mine’s were cranking out versions with up to 800 BHP. Also, the R34 made a formidable race car,
With the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R winning the Japanese Grand Touring Championship in 1999. The R34 was featured numerous times in R&T. Production stopped in 2002.
