The vehicle we are introducing is a late model (1997) BCNR33 Skyline GT-R V-SPEC.
In October 2026 the car underwent a comprehensive engine overhaul and a series of performance upgrades at Garage SAURUS, a renowned specialist in GT-R tuning, with the total cost for the work reaching approximately 3.2 million yen.
Alongside the engine rebuild, the vehicle received a complete overhaul of its supporting systems including the installation of an HKS GT3-2530 turbocharger kit as well as upgrades to the fuel and cooling systems, clutch and engine management. It has been custom tuned using an HKS F-CON V-PRO 3.4 producing 520 PS at 1.3 bar of boost.
The car is exceptionally well balanced offering excellent drivability and responsiveness at low RPMs while delivering powerful sustained acceleration all the way to the high RPM range making it equally capable for casual street driving and spirited sports driving.
Since the engine work was completed, the car has only been used for the necessary break in period and final tuning. It is now ready for a new owner to enjoy to the fullest.
This is a rare late model (1997) V-SPEC often referred to as the "series 3" version with no history of accident repairs and an extensive collection of maintenance records.
With its engine expertly rebuilt by a top tier tuning shop and a well rounded setup covering everything from the mechanical components and suspension to the exterior, this BCNR33 GT-R V-SPEC is a truly compelling example.
