It’s Nimso’s 40th birthday, but the gifts are all going to fans. That’s because Nissan’s racing and performance parts division is re-manufacturing a wide range of components for the R32 “Godzilla” Skyline GT-R.
Added to the catalogue to mark the moment are accessories such as floor mats, seat covers, stickers, sill protectors and sun shades, plus minor parts including radiator and oil filler caps and high-wear items like shift boots and gear knobs.
A period-correct four-point safety harness is available for an Eighties’ street-racer vibe, but if you’re serious about tracking your GT-R then it’s probably not really up to the job. A set of signature 18-inch LM GT4 aluminium wheels would look sweet on any Skyline, as would the replacement steering wheel.
The GT-R’s RB26DETT straight-six has always been known for its ability to make prodigious power and Nismo fully endorses tuning with a new supply of engine-enhancing parts. First up there’s a stainless steel NE-1 exhaust which is said to comply with modern emissions standards. On the intake side Nismo offers a manifold with an enlarged surge tank which is suited for engines boosted to 400 to 600 horsepower. If you’re cranking things up to those levels then you’ll also want the Nismo-branded intercooler and improved radiator. As a finishing touch you can stiffen the chassis with a titanium strut brace that’s based on the R33 400R, but tweaked to fit the R32.
Some parts will be available for shipping from Japan in December with the remainder coming in 2025. We’d suggest you start saving now as the exhaust system is almost £3,000, the intake and intercooler are £1,200 each, the strut brace costs over £750, the radiator is £900, and even a radiator cap is 30 quid – and that’s before any tax and shipping fees.
