ZXT from the Google Warehouse uploaded this iconic Nissan Skyline R32 ( http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=b63089e67d80ac201f10225554d90b0b&prevstart=0 ). He also included a ton of useful information about the real thing and the modelers: “Original by Sin5k4 on GTAinside, originally uploaded by Medigoflame. (Not Rogue’s discovered model.)”
“The GT-R returned with twin ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, all wheel drive, and 280 hp (206 kW) at 6800 rpm. The RB26DETT engine actually produced ~320 hp, but it was unstated due to the Japanese car makers’ “gentlemen’s agreement” not to exceed 206 kW (276 hp). The engine was designed for ~500 hp in racing trim,3 and then muzzled by the exhaust, boost restriction, and ECU. The electronic boost control had a small physical restriction in the control lines. It was marked in yellow so the new owner could remove it and enjoy a safe factory boost increase. The GT-R had Super HICAS, a more advanced computer controlled four wheel steering system using electric actuators. The GT-R had a significantly larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminum front guards and bonnet. The Porsche 959 was Nissan’s target when designing the GT-R. The chief engineer, Naganori Itoh, intended to use the car for Group A racing, so the design specification was drawn up in conjunction with a copy of the Group A rules. The Nordschleife production car record at the time of development was 8’45” – set by a Porsche 944. Nissan test driver Hiroyoshi Katoh reset the record with a time of 8’20”.”
