Presenting the 1990 Nissan GT-R R32 NISMO Edition the holy grail of classic GT-Rs and a true motorsport icon. # 470 / 560 Ever Built

Once in a lifetime opportunity

The R32 GT-R Nismo was introduced in 1990 and featured numerous upgrades over the standard GT-R model. It was designed to enhance the cars performance capabilities and provide an even more thrilling driving experience. This is one of only 560 limited edition R32s introduced in February, 1990, to homologate several changes required to meet FIA regulations for Group A racing. Of the 560 built, 60 were sent to race in Group A and the other 500 were sold to members of the public.

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 tyres. Of note however is the fact that the Nismo version was specified without both ABS and rear windshield wipers, resulting in a weight savings of approximately 40kg.

This car is an Immaculate example of an R32. The kilometres are genuine and verified and the car is in original condition. When kept original and not modified we have seen these models ( with low kms )fetch over $500,000 in Australia. When modified they fetch a lot less.

The car was imported into New Zealand by a collector many years ago and registered on our roads in 2019. The car has never been driven in the rain or stored outside while being in New Zealand. The car was not flagged for anything and did not require repair certification when entering the country. The car still has the original paint and has never been restored or resprayed.
