Nissan Skyline – The R PlatformNissan Skyline – The R Platform
The R-Platform (R32/33/34) is very famous for it’s RB engine and was Nissans flagship back in the days. The R32 was launched in 1989 and in the beginning a very good and fast sports car. Back in these days an average 911 Turbo had 320bhp and the R32GTR had 280bhp – fact is that the power of the GTR was just developed to that magic 280bhp number because of some sort of gentleman agreement. The reality is that most GTR’s in stock trim had more than 300bhp. This made the car a true competitor against a 911 Turbo. The RB26DETT engine was developed in relation to the 4WD platform to compete in Japanese Group A 4500cc-class racing, where it had big success. The first season Nismo won 29 out of 29 races with the new R32GTR platform.

When I met Icon it was at the appartement at the Anneau du Rhin complex. We were all at the balcony reminiscing over some car stories and Icon was talking about his adventures with his Scooby.

If you talk about a Nissan Skyline most people think about the R34 GTR. A few know about the R32 and the R33, maybe even the first generation. But the Skyline name never died and was in production all the time.
Very little know about the existence of the DR30 models.
