We were proud to represent this 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R, a Cicio-built 2.8L stroker example finished in Gun Gray Metallic, which sold for $99,999 on Bring a Trailer.
Originally imported in 2016 and built at a documented cost exceeding $126,000, this R32 represents the pinnacle of Japanese tuning culture. The comprehensive build was executed by Cicio Performance with meticulous attention to detail and no expense spared in pursuit of both performance and reliability.
Just 27,000 kilometers (~17,000 miles) were shown on the NISMO odometer at the time of sale, making this an exceptionally low-mileage example of what many consider the ultimate expression of the R32 GT-R platform.
2.8L Stroker Performance Build
The heart of this build is a Tomei short block engineered around a 2.8-liter stroker configuration, paired with a single Xona Rotor turbocharger for maximum efficiency and response. AEM engine management controls the combustion process, while triple fuel pumps ensure adequate supply for both 93-octane and E85 fuel maps.
Supporting the increased power output, a comprehensive suspension package includes SPL and GKTech suspension components married to MCS coilovers. StopTech big-brake systems at all four corners provide the stopping power necessary to match the enhanced performance capabilities.
Inside, the stripped and focused cabin features Kevlar-backed Recaro bucket seats, a NISMO cluster, and Stack auxiliary gauges that monitor critical engine parameters. This interior configuration emphasizes the car's track-focused intent while maintaining essential creature comforts.
