1990 NISSAN GT-R Nismo Edition

Wow. Godzilla - Nismo Edition!! Watch out. It's not often you have the chance to own a highly collectable Japanese icon let alone a revered Group A racer. Now for sale a 39,180 Kilometre example of the one of only 560 Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R Nismo Editions ever built. A road-going Group A race car and everyone's favourite Godzilla ... but on steroids. Build #32 of the R32 Skyline GTR Nismo Spec is up for sale, available for inspection in South Melbourne, VIC.

The R32 GT-R Nismo is a one of only 560 limited edition R32s introduced in February, 1990 to homologate several changes required to meet FIA/CAMS regulations for Group A racing globally. Of the 560 built, 60 were sent to race in Group A and the other 500 were sold to lucky public buyers. Performance changes applied to the Nismo Edition included the fitment of larger turbochargers, aerodynamic intercooler cooling ducts in the front bumper, deeper rear spats, an additional boot lip spoiler and grippier Bridgestone tyres. Interestingly, the Nismo version was specified delete ABS and rear windshield wiper resulting in a weight savings of approximately 40kg.

The R32 GT-R Nismo was only available in Gun Grey metallic and this car is upholstered with Grey velour trim. Over the standard GT-R, the Nismo scores a Nismo badge on the rear of the car, though few other visual differences are noted on Nismo versions. It also rides on a set of 16-inch alloy wheels finished in gunmetal grey wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tyres. The removeable front and rear strut braces have been fitted by the owner.

Build #32/560 R32 GTR Skyline, now 32 years old is a stunning example of this Japanese sports car icon. Powered by the world famous twin-turbocharged 2.6-litre six-cylinder RB26DETT engine, this powerhouse delivers over 206kW and 353 Nm of torque to all four wheels. A five-speed manual transmission was the only gearbox available on the R32 GT-R, including this impeccable Nismo Edition which allows it to go from zero to 100km/h in 5.3 seconds.

Build No. 32 has covered a genuine 39,180 klms and comes with the original log books and all owners manuals making it an immaculate surviving example of an extremely rare and highly sought after vehicle. Coincidently, Build No. 32 is now 32 years old but can still deliver the same tyre frying power as seen on race tracks in Japan and around the world since 1989. The speed and success of the GT-R Skyline in Group A racing has built an unshakeable reputation and made this car one of the most prized Japanese muscle cars.

Privately imported to Australia in 2005 and in the hands of the current enthusiast owner since 2007, the GT-R has covered under 5,000 Klms in that time. According to the owner, the GT-R has been used as a Sunday cruiser and also as his wedding car. The GT-R is supplied with Australian import paperwork.

Overall the GT-R Nismo Edition is lighter, more aerodynamic and features more boost over the standard R32 GT-R. Feared as a Group A racer and still holding its own 32 years down the track, this is a must see for the Nissan enthusiast.
