Hey guys

Just wondering if there's any detailed information of photos floating around on the Nissan (R32) Skyline GTB-4. I believe there was only 1 (or a few) built - one now residing at Red Park, but finding good detailed pics (exterior & interior) and information on it is next to impossible. I came across a site that had pics of some form of book called GT-R Maniacs, but the pics a really small:

If anyone knows where I can find info on this rare Skyline it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Brendan actually posted this for me - from what we can glean it had the complete manual BNR32 running gear as opposed to the Autech Version 4 door GT-R which had the 26DE with an Auto.

Was contemplating going full wide body with my 4 door - until I saw the price of the rear conversion guards...

Brendan,

From what info I've collected:

"Not strictly a GT-R but a standard 1993 HNR32 (four door) that was built as a complete car by S&S Engineering - independent of Autech Japan - the project was led by Shinichiro Sakurai and based on a four door GTS-4. The engine and drivetrain are directly transplanted from a BNR32 GT-R, along with front fenders, front bumper, headlights, taillights, interior, and some beautiful 'one-off' rear guards. The whole car is a one off exibit but Skyline fans often confuse the GTB-4 as a car produced by Autech, which it is not."

Sorry I don't have any big pics.

Thanks Rezz.

So the next time anyone's heading to Red Park - ask if you can take some really detailed pics and get some more details.

Cheers

Brendan

As far as I recall reading, there were 5 made.

I also assumed they were done by Autech, and that they were essentially factory-certified GTR sedans...

These are small pics, but I've attached them none-the-less.

Man, to get my hands on either a GTB-4 or an Autech R32 would bring tears to my eyes!

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
