This highly sought-after Nissan GT-R, #19 in its production series, was originally built in February 1999 and was recently imported from Japan in May 2024. The car is finished in its iconic QM1 white, with gray cloth upholstery, and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.6-liter RB26DETT inline-six engine. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission and the advanced ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel-drive system, this car represents the pinnacle of Nissan’s engineering during its era.
The V-Spec N1 model was designed as a homologation special, stripped of non-essential features for a more track-focused build. Notably, it lacks a rear fog light, rear window wiper, UV-cut glass, and boot lid trim. It features black-painted non-folding mirrors, an adjustable rear wing, a carbon-fiber rear diffuser, amber side marker lamps, and xenon headlights. The car rides on 18-inch wheels, refinished in gray, fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS tires, and equipped with Brembo disc brakes at all corners, upgraded with stainless steel brake lines.
Inside, the right-hand-drive cabin reflects the car’s purposeful design, with manually adjustable sport seats, a rear bench, and checkerboard-pattern GTR-branded floor mats. The N1 model omits air conditioning, a radio, and a glovebox lamp to save weight, but features a NISMO shift knob and cigarette lighter. A digital display offers key performance metrics such as boost pressure and throttle input, while the odometer shows just 23,000 kilometers (~14,000 miles).
Under the hood, the RB26DETT engine remains stock, reinforced with unique N1-specific components, including twin steel turbines and an auxiliary oil cooler. The NISMO G-Max clutch and fuel pump provide additional performance enhancements, delivering the car’s famed 276 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. This pristine example of the Skyline GT-R V-Spec N1, a true collector’s item, is offered with complete import documents, factory literature, and a clean Virginia title.
