    GREAT to see you include the Australian connection to the R32 GT-R!, something not often seen or heard when seeing videos about the R32. We were indeed the ONLY market outside of Japan to officially get the R32 and of course you acknowledge that it was in indeed 'Wheels' Australia magazine that coined the nickname 'Godzilla' - great to see.
    Those red and yellow Winfield racing GT-R's (Fred Gibson team) were just soo dominant (there was also an all red GIO sponsored R32 GT-R team) and rumour has it, that Nissan in Japan didn't want these cars to go there to compete as they were so well developed they were afraid they would embarrass the local Japanese teams.
    In Australia, the R32 GT-R's were given weights ballasts to try and even up the field but they didn't work. The local Holden Commodore racing teams and even the mighty Ford Siera Cosworth were simply no match for Godzilla. It all came to a head in 1992 during the big Bathurst 1,000 (km) race. The Winfield GT-R was leading the pack in the hands of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife.. then the rain came, lots of it..so much in fact that the race was stopped and called off several hours in. The lap that the race was red flagged, the GT-R crashed (along with many other vehicles). The second placed Ford that was still running thought he'd won the race...but he hadn't read the rules properly!. When the race is red flagged, the classification is based on where the cars where placed 2 laps before the red flag, giving the win to the Nissan GT-R. The crowd booed and hissed during podium presentations. the winning driver Jim Richards, was so disappointed and incensed at the crowd's disgraceful reaction he called them a " pack of arseholes"!..One of the most famous speeches in Australian motorsport history! After that race, it was decided to ban all turbo's from touring car racing.

    No R32 had an Active-LSD. That was specifically an R33/R34 V-spec (and V-spec derivatives) feature.
    Some people also say the ATTESA changed between versions, but that was just to recalibrate the DeltaVW gain function which is supposed to be 7kg-m/km/h, due to tire radius changing between versions.

    People use to say rx7s were unreliable but with advancements in material and cooling not to mention the support of mazda, these GTRs are gonna be some highly maintenance queens for sure. The cost is gonna be very high to maintain let alone the additional issues on resourcing parts. These issues wrap around mostly the engines flaws but that awd is gonna be a handful when electronics break. Nonetheless it is great to have the GTRs coming to stateside finally and seeming them around.

    Great video and information.
    A few additions if you are really looking for a R32 GTR.
    Buy a good one pay a little more up front. As there are more importers everyday the supply is getting thin, many of the cheaper GTRs will have hidden issues that will need addressing or you fun will end quickly.
    Finding low km stock cars are getting rarer, if you plan on major modifications find one that has had work done to it leave the stock ones for. Collectors.
    There are some that are great looking and have lots of mods done do your research on the aftermarket work and parts, some are rare and pricey or no longer obtainable.
    Have $3-5k in the bank for needed work it will turn up. I did coil overs, exhaust, fluids, clock, wipers, washer fluid pumps, ball joints, tie rods , and rebuild all 4 axels needed new cv boots.
    I bought mine May of 2017 with 48k miles. It isn’t a true GTR beginning life as a GTS4 4 door in August of 1990. In 1995 it was converted to a GTR using a R33 RB26dett Motor and all parts from a vspec version, it also has R34 front suspension, a wide body conversion which includes the full GTR aluminum front end and N1 headlights, full repaint from jet silver to crystal white, a Reebok Skyline special interior ( nobody can find information on it) this is 4 door GTR interior seats, door panels, pedals, steering wheel, gauges. Also many Nismo parts, Instrument Cluster, rear suspension, gas cap. Wheels are Veil side 18x9 3 piece Andrews Racing, have and offer just on the rims $4k.A-spec tune to 400+ hp all for under $20k. Everything works on the car now and could be used as a daily driver.
