Video: Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R roars like the 1,014-PS beast it is

The R32 generation of the Skyline GT-R counts among the most favorite in the car tuning community, and this particular example has had its share of attention, too.

The owner of the sports coupe imported it into Great Britain 14 years ago and dressed it out in a Veilside body kit along with a full body wrap. He also swapped the boring OEM wheels out for a three-piece forged set. But if you have been paying attention, you have probably noticed that looks aren’t the strongest suit of this build. The legendary R26 engine is.

Modifications included new pistons and connecting rods, main bolts, seals, and a massive turbo to get things moving. A six-speed sequential transmission now hits the wheels with 1,014 PS (1,000 hp / 746 kW) and 976 Nm (720 lb-ft) of torque, while a custom exhaust system makes sure everyone hears you coming.

At a speedway in Germany, it took the AutoTopNL team 3.95 seconds to get the ride from 100 to 200 km/h (62-124 mph), and they proceeded to take it all the way to 302 km/h (188 mph). The builder said he was going to continue tuning it to get even more thrust out of the setup.
