There is no doubt that the Nissan Skyline GT-R is a legend. Since its inception decades ago, the Skyline GT-R has captured the hearts and minds of racing fans and, later, video game fanatics. The car's reputation has swelled beyond anything originally foreseen by Nissan, forcing their hand in selling the latest version of the GT-R on American soil. Talk to the guy in the corner with the GT-R tattoo on his chest and you'd think the car was solid gold and ran on holy water. So, why has there been only one crowned as the Ultimate Street Car Challenge winner?
But American tuners of R32, R33, and R34 GT-Rs have always been at a disadvantage. The older GT-Rs were never officially sold here and the tuning knowledge base is small.
