Question

[gtrnismo]

G'day. I Bought a 1990 R32 GTR Godzilla Nismo Edition about 3 weeks ago or so. I was curious as to what the difference between the Nismo Edition and the normal skyline is. I have noticed it has a fair bit more power then my mates standard 93 GTR and the only mod is the exhaust.

If anyone knows or has an idea its much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sean

Nismo

Due to strict Group A homologation rules, Nissan was required to also sell a series of the Skyline GT-R which more accurately reflected the car they use in Group A racing. This series was called the Skyline GT-R 'Nismo' edition.

The Skyline GT-R 'Nismo', introduced in February 22, 1990, has a total production of 560 units as required for the "Evolution" models regulation (over 500). Its purpose is to homologate a number of aerodynamic changes used in Group A racing. Changes include additional ducts in the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler, a bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay, and an additional boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce. The 'Nismo' GT-R was only available in Gunmetal Grey.

So really there is no engine change, just what looks like cosmetic change with a purpose to help with the cars performance. Hence the Nismo Bodykit.

^^Interesting...

Seems the Nismo edition is 30kg lighter.

0-400m

GTR Nismo = 13.325 secs

GTR = 13.378 secs

GTR Nismo = 0.053 secs faster

But around the track The GTR was faster by 'point' few of a second.
