A One-of-One Legend – The Only Known R33 with Factory-Installed Nür Engine
This 1996 Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 is no ordinary GT-R. It's a truly unique, factory-modified example that blends the best of the R33 and R34 generations—featuring a factory-installed Nür N1 engine sourced directly from Nissan in 2002. To our knowledge, this is the only R33 in existence to receive a Nür engine upgrade through Nissan Japan. This is a genuine 1-of-1 vehicle, making it a singular opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs of JDM performance heritage.
Originally sold in Japan, this R33 GT-R had its stock engine replaced by Nissan at 97,000 km after a failure in 2002. At that time, the original owner secured a factory Nür-spec RB26DETT N1 engine—destined for the limited-run 2002 R34 GT-R Nür edition—and had it professionally installed along with an extensive suite of performance upgrades.
The result is a 510-horsepower GT-R with Nür DNA, elevated beyond the stock 280 HP and exceeding even the performance of the ultra-rare 400R (which produced 400 HP). Capable of reaching up to 560 HP with tuning, this GT-R is both a mechanical marvel and a piece of Nissan history.
We sourced this example from Japan. Shows just over 90K total miles (145K Km) and comes with a detailed service history. This GT-R features a dealer installed factory sourced Nür N1 (Nürburgring) engine with an HKS turbo which was installed 29K miles (47K Km) ago. This motor provides a significant increase in output over the stock RB26. Recent service includes a new Nismo clutch, flywheel, rear crank seal and spark plugs and a tune up. Performance is awesome and lives up to the well known reputation.
Shows well and reflects a high level of care and regular maintenance. Overall condition exterior and interior is very good. Exterior finish in great condition and the cabin has been fitted with new seat upholstery. Well instrumented dashboard is impressive and all systems are in good working order.
The GT-R is a legendary performance car never officially imported into the USA made famous in the “Fast and Furious” movie series. The 1996 model features the 4th generation design and engineering and was Nissan’s performance flagship. This model was loaded with advanced technology including a robust 2.6 liter twin turbo inline 6 cylinder engine, the ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel-drive system with active limited-slip differential, performance suspension, 17” BBS wheels and Brembo brakes.
In addition to the legendary performance, the Skyline GT-R offered a sophisticated GT experience. The interior features an offset cockpit style dash, sporty bolstered twin seats, dual airbags and many upscale details.
This excellent, low mile example offers additional performance in a truly rare and unique grand touring coupe.

The GT-R Legacy

It also set the first sub-8-minute Nürburgring lap for a production car—cementing its place in automotive history.
