Matt's 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR - One Take

This video brought to you by Import Bible

For those of us Americans who grew up with the original racing simulators, but without the ability to see JDM Sports Cars on the street, the Skyline GTR was the ultimate fantasy mobile. I remember the car going all the way back to the first Gran Turismo, and it was so much better than any other car in the game it was crazy. Turns out that was also true in real life, as the R32 Skyline GTR was so fast it was banned from Group A racing. To drive one today is to be impressed not only with the car's pace, but also with the level of refinement and driver involvement.

I saw this car in person 3 days ago during the One Take filming of my NSX. Looks absolutely stunning with the refinished wheels, meaty tires, and gun metal paint.

I love your car Matt and i'm glad you'll be keeping it stock! R32 prices are so inflated in the USA vs. up here in Canada that a LOT of people are now buying up and importing R33+R34 Skylines up here and sitting on them until they become legal in the US. It's a legitimate investment opportunity. So yes, my American friends, please continue to pay inflated prices for Skylines!

You can buy an R34 Skyline GTS-T for $10-20k in Canada and a decent R32 GTS-T can be bought for $5-10k.

I love the amount of tire on it. no one puts enough tire on their car anymore :D

I really love when you review your own cars. I can sympathize with your desire to not come off as douchey, but honestly, it doesn't come off as such to anyone with any semblance of a brain. In fact, these one takes are my favorite because you show real knowledge and passion for the car. From what I've seen, as long as you focus on the intangibles, how the car feels to drive, and don't just read a list of mods and brag about how fast it is, it really comes off as humble passion, and not attention seeking narcism. This is, IMO, the best production quality of any One Take you've made thus far (though I'm sure that's do more to time constraints when filming fan's cars). Keep it up, man!

Love those fat meaty tires, look so good!

FYI- The Parking Brake light on older Nissans lights up for low brake-fluid levels too.

R32s will always look best with wide tires with meaty sidewalls

I like the Ad placement! Its not annoying and it helps you out.

"I'm going to leave the car stock"...I" powder coated the wheels" "I'm going to upgrade the brakes" ...."I might go with a 17" wheel" ..." I deleted the hicas" ..."took out the restrictor to up the boost"

It's always nice to see Matt driving on the correct side of the car.

Matt first off great example of an R32. Loved the video..

Just 2 things:

1.). Handbrake light means your brake pads are worn OR brake fluid is low. (Or both)

2.) consider the oil pump collar mod for your RB26. Early motors were notorious for stripping them and losing all oil pressure. High revving a lot or a mechanical over rev from a miss shift can cause it. Just something to think about.

Keep the videos coming. And I hope you see this post

You are so lucky to actually own one of these ultra rare stock r32 skylines... Amazing car!

[ARMYTRIX]

Oh the nostalgia is strong with this one...Congrats dude!

[MK]

love the car, I got my R32 GTR a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier. car is completely stock besides a HKS EVC boost controller and run about 1 bar and is perfect early how it is. definitely one of the best GT cars for the money!

[dashcamcalifornia]

appreciate this Matt! not showing off at all, you're sharing. don't get me wrong, I'm jealous but you're humble and have worked hard for what you have. would love an update for this or a road trip video in it!

[melbetanio]

This is heart warming. From a kid playing GT in the 90's -- I do really appreciate this.

[twinsnails]

If you decide to go 17's, stock R33 GTR wheels look great and they're not too expensive. Also they're 17x9 so easy to get good tires.

I think the 16" wheels really add to that feeling of refinement you talk about. It is amazing how much a little more tire can soak up bumps.

[NoBrakes]

I love the way those tires/wheels look.
