1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II N1

Chassis No. BNR32-308704
After a 16-year hiatus, Nissan resurrected the Skyline GT-R name in 1989 for a singular purpose: dominance in Group A touring car racing. The R32 GT-R was a technological tour de force for the new decade, underpinned by the formidable RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six officially rated 280 PS, and the sophisticated ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. Its impact was immediate and devastating. The GT-R claimed back-to-back Australian Touring Car Championships in 1991 and 1992, including consecutive victories at the Bathurst 1000 and triumphed overall at the 1991 Spa 24 Hours. Yet it achieved perhaps its most extraordinary feat in its home country: sweeping the Japanese Touring Car Championship from 1990 through 1993, securing 29 wins from 29 starts. This rightfully earned the R32 GT-R its nickname “Godzilla”—an indestructible monster on the racetrack that defeated everything in its path.

As the GT-R's pedigree unfolded, Nissan continually honed the road-going version through a series of increasingly focused variants. The V-Spec (Victory-Spec) arrived in 1993 with Brembo brakes, a modified all-wheel drive system, and a NISMO front bumper and lightweight aluminum hood. The subsequent V-Spec II of 1994 further sharpened the GT-R formula with wider, 245-section tires. These desirable variants were offered in either NISMO or N1 trim, with the latter enabling Nissan to enter the production car-based Group N class. The N1 was stripped of non-essential equipment such as air conditioning, radio, and even the rear wiper, unlocking serious weight-savings and situating it as the most focused GT-R yet. Its Garrett T04B turbochargers were also fortified with more durable components and were widely understood to exceed the era's gentleman's agreement on the 280 PS power ceiling.
Nissan produced only 63 examples of the GT-R V-Spec II N1 before R32 production ended in November 1994, making it the rarest factory variant of the R32 extant.
Identical in specification to the other N1 examples, this 1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II N1 is finished in Crystal White over a two-tone grey and black cloth interior and is equipped with 17-inch silver BBS wheels.
This example was manufactured in April 1994 and delivered to Japan that same month according to its clean CarVX report. Notably, a dealership warranty indicates that the speedometer was replaced at 4,052 kilometers approximately a year after it was delivered. Following a series of inspections, the GT-R's final Japanese registration was reported in Omiya in April 2006, though the car is believed to have remained in Japan until at least 2018 according to included tax documentation. It was subsequently exported to the United Kingdom before the consignor acquired it in 2025. Cherishing its rarity and condition from the beginning, the consignor has since driven this GT-R sparingly, which has contributed to its low mileage. Under their care, the Skyline has additionally benefitted from recent in-house services and a cosmetic refresh in preparation for sale—documented in photos on file.
It is now offered with its operating instructions, maintenance notebook, and a comprehensive history file tracing its ownership in Japan. As an essentially ready-to-race homologation special when new, it also boasts its original FIA/FISA homologation paperwork. Along with its suite of performance improvements that come with the V-Spec and N1 packages, the car has been further enhanced with an A'PEXI RS Evolution exhaust and a remote control for central locking.
As both the rarest and the most focused variant of the R32-generation GT-R, this 1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II N1 is a prime representative of Nissan's fearsome dominance in touring car racing. It is a compelling addition to any collection of curated Japanese cars, yet equally capable on-track and ready to carry on Nissan's motorsport glory.
