There has been a Skyline in Nissan's line-up since 1966. After many changes the Skyline found its sporting feet again in 1981 and 1986. The R32 Skyline GT-R name was revived in 1989 and has hardly been altered since. It has been very successful and has dominated Group A Touring Car racing worldwide. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, new model introductions, driver's impressions, long term report, buying second-hand, track tests.
NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R: THE ULTIMATE JAPANESE SUPERCAR - Andy Butler (Retails for $39.95, will sell for $25)
When it comes to high-performance Japanese cars, the Nissan Skyline GT-R is right up there at the top of the tree. Without doubt, it is the most iconic of all the recent supercars to come out of Japan. It has a heritage that covers three ultra-quick performers and goes back to 1989.
Although the Skyline name has been around since the 1950s, things got serious when the GT-R designation was added, and a twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine was hooked up to a computer-controlled four-wheel-drive system. Whether the car was beating Porsches round the Nurburgring, demolishing the opposition in the Japanese Group A and Grand Touring Championships, or just making cross-country dashes, it was simply awesome.
For those owners not content with nearly 300bhp delivered as standard, a thriving tuning industry has built up around the GT-R. This has led to cars with over 750bhp being used as daily drivers, and competition versions with over 1200bhp ripping up drag strips. The world of the Skyline GT-R is full of cars that are truly worthy of superlatives.
This book chronicles the history of the Skyline's early versions and looks at the three main GT-R variants in detail, together with giving some helpful pointers on how to find and look after a GT-R of your own. There is also information on tuning methods to turn the car from a rapid street car into a real tarmac terrorist.
Author Andy Butler has worked in most car-related fields, from mechanic and salesman in various franchises, through the aftermarket sales of parts and accessories, to journalism. As a long-term contributor to Japanese Performance magazine he has experienced many examples of the Skyline GT-R — in the UK, USA and Japan — and feels that no enthusiast's garage is complete without one.
NISSAN GT-R: LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE, ENGINEERING MARVEL R32, R33, R34, R35 - Alex Gorodji (Retails for $54.99, will sell for $35)
There simply isn't a car in the world that's as mythic as Nissan Skyline GT-R. It's not a end born of love like old VW Beetles enjoy. nor is it the mass popularity of a new Mustang Corvette. It's the attraction of a dream car offers performance that most enthusiasts rarely get to sample.
The GT-R has reigned as king of the tuner car world since the introduction of its third generation in 1989. Its stock performance is staggering, and a huge array of aftermarket hop-up parts make it possible to create a car fully capable of thrashing Ferraris, Corvettes, 9 I I s, and any other comers.
Despite its iconic status many automotive enthusiasts don't really understand the technical details that make the GT-R so special. Nissan GT-R: Legendary Performance, Engineering Marvel demystifies this fantastic car with a detailed technical examination of such marvels as its four-wheel steering system, all-wheel drive, and its awe-inspiring engine.
Since its introduction, the Skyline GT-R has been the undisputed king of the tuner car world. Nissan GT-R: Legendary Performance, Engineering Marvel explains why. Along with an overview of Skylines since their debut in 1957, author Alex Gorodji gives in-depth reviews of the Japan-only third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation GT-Rs. The story ends with a thorough look at the newfor-2008 CBA-R35 — the first GT-R legally avaiable in the United States and around the world. The book pays special attention to the evolution of the GT-R's revolutionary technical aspects, including the all-wheel-steering and -drive systems, the chassis, and the legendary inline-sixcylinder twin-turbocharged engines. Whether you're a diehard GT-R fan or an enthusiast new to the story, Nissan GT-R will answer all your questions about these storied performance cars.

Total calculated price for the lot is $170.

However, any crazy son-of-a-bitch who wants to lash out and get them all can have them for $150 (plus postage).

$170 for the books, postage, and exponential increase of knowledge that will allow you to build such an incredible GT-R that it will bring you fame, fortune, and females beyond your wildest imaginings. Then the deal will be done faster than any race involving a GT-R.

I'll even throw in my first-born son*

*Please note a first-born son (or daughter, or other) may now, or never, be brought into existence, hence negating this particular portion of the pact. Purchasers will then be required to seek and locate any offspring elsewhere.

You are more than welcome to pick and choose as you wish.

However, keep in mind that the special discounted price mentioned above is for the purchase of ALL of them. If you remove a book then the individual book prices apply as listed next to each entry. Postage would then also need to be calculated depending on how many were chosen, etc...

These are exceedingly educational books with a vast amount of technical information about all models that is very difficult to find. As Terry_GT-R34 mentioned, they're great - even at their original prices.

Ill buy them , but not the brookland books one .

Unless there is something in it that's makes it worth while ??

So, are you still interested in purchasing and, if so, which books did you want? All of them at the discounted price of $170 (includes postage) or everything but the brooklands book at their listed prices for a total of $165 (includes postage).

Let me know how you would to proceed.

I don't think Sulo would be a recipient. I'd PM the seller.

If I were the seller I'd donate them to the SAU.NSW clubhouse at least like what Rob Rooney did with his collection of magazines.

    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
