The first cars named "Skyline GT-R" were produced between 1969 and 1972 and enjoyed legendary success in local Japanese touring car racing. After a long hiatus, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 as the R32 Skyline GT-R. This model GT-R proceeded to win the Japanese JTCC Group A series championship four years in a row. The formidable technology and performance of the R32 GT-R prompted the Australian motoring publication Wheels to nickname the GT-R "Godzilla" in its July 1989 edition.

The Skyline GT-R became the flagship of Nissan performance, showcasing many advanced technologies including its all-wheel drive system and the four-wheel steering. Today, the car is popular for import drag racing, circuit track, time attack and tuning oriented car events. Production of the Skyline GT-R ended in August 2002.

The Skyline GT-R was never manufactured outside Japan, and the only export markets were Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and (for one year) the UK. Despite this restriction, the car has become an icon worldwide. In October 2000, Nissan released the V·spec II (victory specifications). The V-spec II was a continuance of advancing the engineering of the famous platform.

This right-hand drive Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec II is reported as one of less than 2,000 built and is powered by a turbocharged (Precision) 2.6-liter inline six-cylinder engine that is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. It is visually defined by front and rear spoilers, lower body aero elements, sport mirrors, Brembo four-wheel disc brakes, Nitto tires and Rays alloy wheels. Amenities include power windows, air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD unit. Instrumentation readouts are determined in metric units.
