For enthusiasts in the U.S., the Nissan Skyline GT-R has long been the \u201cforbidden fruit\u201d of the automotive world\u2014a dominant force on Japanese streets and global racetracks that remained tantalizingly out of reach for decades. Now, a rare opportunity has surfaced on Cars & Bids to own a piece of that legend \u2014 a 1996 R33 Skyline GT-R NISMO S1-Specification, finished in the highly coveted and iridescent Midnight Purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t just a standard R33. It features the specialized NISMO S1 package, offering a refined balance of performance and factory-backed tuning. While many Skylines fall victim to over-the-top aftermarket changes, this example is remarkably tasteful. The exterior is enhanced by a NISMO 400R-style front bumper, carbon fiber spoiler accents, and 18-inch Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE37 wheels. Inside, the driver is greeted by a NISMO gauge cluster and center console gauges, along with NISMO front seats and a MOMO steering wheel, all reflecting its right-hand-drive, Japanese-market heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood lies the iconic 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six (RB26DETT), paired with a tactile 5-speed manual gearbox. The S1-Spec upgrades include BNR34 turbochargers, S1-specific camshafts, and a NISMO intake system, all designed for \u201cS-tune\u201d street performance. While originally rated at 276 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, the addition of a Tomei exhaust and SARD high-flow catalytic converter suggests this \u201cGodzilla\u201d breathes even more fire than its factory specs imply. With approximately 71,800 miles (115,500 km) and a clean Florida title, this Midnight Purple icon represents the peak of 90s tuning culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
