The R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R is considered by many car nuts to be among the JDM greats. If you’re among those who hold this particular generation of Godzilla to this status, this example currently up for auction on bringatrailer.com might be of interest to you.

Currently, the highest bid for the unit sits at a cool $27,000 (around P1.36 million). Chances are, though, it will continue to climb as it moves closer towards a sale.

So, what are we looking at here? It’s clean—that’s one thing that’s apparent. And it comes packing a 2.6-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine capable of 276hp and 352Nm of torque mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an aftermarket exhaust system. Purists, rejoice.

Outside, there’s the familiar gunmetal gray paint job, as well as 18-inch wheels sourced from an R34 wrapped in Hankook tires. Other bits of note include front and rear spoilers, side skirts, power-adjustable side mirrors, and projector headlights. Note, though, that the hood was refinished because of a fading clear coat.

The interior is covered in matching grey cloth, and it gets automated climate control and a CD player as well. The odometer shows total mileage at around 73,000km, and recent work performed on the car includes transmission servicing and the replacement of spark plugs and brake pads.

If you’re a fan of the model and have plenty of spare cash lying around, the thought that opportunities like this don’t come around often is probably gnawing at your brain. And you’re right. This car is a legend, after all. Would you pull the trigger on something like this given the funds?
