R32 Nismo Edition GTR vs Normal R32 GTR

[ScottKing GTS-4]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the difference is between R32 Nismo Edition GTR vs just the normal stock standard R32 GTR?

Were all Nismo GTR's gunmetal grey?

Thanks guys.

From what I have been told the Nismo edition is the N1 before it was actually called a N1 (N1's were based on the V-Spec models, the Nismo is based on a normal model)

So that would probably imply that the R32 "Nismo" GTRs ran upgraded

turbos like the N1s?

I was thinking the Nismo model had more standard mods like bigger

Nismo spex FMIC, Oil cooler, upgraded LSD, air filter elements, etc -

nothing as major as upgraded turbos but hey I've got no idea really.

Well you get the wank factor of calling it a NISMO edition....

I know the clutch was changed for sure and i think the front number plate is on the right side instead of being in front of the intercooler, the rear wing is slightly different and the instrumental cluster has NISMO on it in addition to the NISMO badge on the right side at the back of the car, the rims were different but i'm not sure about that.

Only few differences from what I understandard. The Nismo version was the homologation special as everyone knows, only 500 were produced to meet FIA production requirments and were released on 3 Feb 1990. The technical regulations of Group A allowed a lot to be modified except the base weight of the vehicle and the standard profile of bodywork, hence why the Nismo came in so trim and had the aero kit.

Differences are as I'm aware:

Turbos (Not sure if steel wheeled though)

I/C vents

Skirts

Bonnet lip

Gurney flap on boot

No rear wiper

Base weight of 1350kg

Usual 16" rims and the normal rubbish brakes

Thanks for the good info mate. Ive been told that the turbos the NISMO editions ran are T25/T04B but yeah not sure if they are a steel wheel or not.

Interesting they were 40kg lighter. Wonder if they lost the road noise insultation as well as the rear wiper motor, etc.

[t01-100]

No worries mate.

The wiper and wiper motor are only about 3kg and the sound deadener is approx 30-35kg so yeah I guess that's were the weight must have been.

Does anyone know where the Nismo ID plate is located? Eg, the plate showing the build number "XXX of 500"?

The build number on the blue id plate should be BNR1XXXXX instead of the normal BNR000XXXX.
