| HISTORY After the R32 ceased production, the R33 Skyline (series one) was introduced in August 1993. Slightly heavier than the R32, and available as a two and four door, all models now used a six cylinder engine. Nissan took the unusual step of downgrading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while the twin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0l turbo RB20DET. Some models came equipped with a new version of the HICAS four wheel steering system called Super HICAS. This computer-controlled four wheel steering system was previously featured on the R32 GT-R. It moved the rear wheels via a small electric motor situated on the rear differential instead of being a hydraulic type 4WS unit such as on the R32. 1995 PRODUCTION YEARS

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Nissan introduced a very rare four door GT-R. Two versions of the four door GT-R were available from Nissan's subsidiaries: the first was produced by Autech, and the second was a joint Autech/Nismo project. 400R [RBX-GT2] - Twin Turbo - Coupe only - The 400R was a limited

and the car came about as a celebration of the success of
the GT-R LM. |
