The Nissan Skyline GT-R (Japanese: 日産・スカイラインGT-R, Hepburn: Nissan Sukairain GT-R) is a Japanese sports car based on the Nissan Skyline range. The first cars named "Skyline GT-R" were produced between 1969 and 1972 under the model code KPGC10, and were successful in Japanese touring car racing events.
The GT-R is an entirely new model, departing from its predecessor, the Skyline GT-R, which was a faster version of a regular sedan. Though they share a little with each other, such as the signature four round tail lights, the ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel-drive system, and a twin- turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, the GT-R diverges significantly.
The RB26DETT Z1 and Z2 (and often referred to as an "RB28DETT Z1/Z2") was the engine used in the Nissan Skyline GT-R Z-Tune built by Nismo. It uses a stronger RB26 block based on Nissan's Le Mans GT2 and GT500 racing vehicles (stamped with RRR), stroked crankshaft, upgraded turbochargers, and a higher bore and stroke at a displacement of 2.8 L.
The first Skyline was introduced on 24 April 1957, at the Takarazuka Theater, in Hibiya, Tokyo, [3] for Fuji Precision Industries, marketed as a luxury car.It featured a 1.5 L (1,482 cc) GA-30 engine (also known as FG4A-30) producing 44 kW (60 hp) at 4,400 rpm, which was previously used in the prototype Subaru 1500, Subaru's first car.

Nismo's Skyline GT-R therefore needed to be replaced with a purpose built racing car. Turning to Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR), Nismo began developing a prototype of the R390 GT1, named to follow in the tradition started in the 1960s with Nissan's R380. The first decision for Nismo and TWR was the choice of engine.
It is a version of VR38DETT engine used in Nissan GT-R, with GT3-spec camshaft, connecting rod and connecting rod bolt, intercooler, intercooler piping, turbocharger, NISMO 1st and 2nd catalyzers, titanium muffler. The engine was unveiled in 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon. [15] [16]
