This is a 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R Custom. Designed by Naganori Itō, internally named the E-BNR32 and commonly known as the R32, the R32 was the third generation of the Nissan Skyline GT-R and the first car to bear the name after a 16-year absence; it was introduced in 1989.
With Nissan's desire to retire the Skyline R31 GTS-R for a more competitive vehicle, the Skyline GT-R was reborn. It is powered by a 2.6L Nissan RB26DETT twin-turbocharged inline-6 mated to a 5-speed manual, the R32 was designed to dominate Group A racing. Originally slated to use a RB20 bored and stroked to 2.4L and have a rear-wheel drive platform, the car was extensively redesigned to enter the 4,500 cc class in touring car championships; this gave the car its current layout, with an all-wheel drive system and the RB26.
A number of special variants, such as the GT-R NISMO, were also available. It was noted for its "monster" track performance and domination in most championships it entered, being nicknamed "Godzilla" by Australian magazine Wheels; the name stuck and has remained in use for all future GT-R generations. The R32 was replaced by the R33 in 1994. 43,937 R32s were produced, making this the most successful of all Skyline GT-Rs sales wise.
The R32 nowadays is also a candidate for modification, with manufacturers such as TRA-Kyoto manufacturing body kits for the car, such as this one; made of fiber reinforced plastics the kit includes a front lip, side skirts, fenders and can be optioned with or without a rear wing, costing $6,632 to $9,501.
Now this casting was designed by Rob Matthes and introduced in 2024 in the Car Culture line. This casting has seen fout releases, the last being this one in 2026.
