It includes five consecutive championship wins in the all Japanese Touring Car Championships and over race wins, plus the unofficial lap record for a production car at the world-famous Nurburgring. Just about every part of the R32 has been developed and refined on the race track. It is basically a racing car for the road and is not quite as idiot-proof as the newer model's which is both good and bad.
In the right hands the R32 is extremely fast, but requires a lot more skill than the aim and fire R34 and R It's not quite as forgiving, but much more rewarding and potentially a lot faster. ABS and the rear wiper were deleted, and the cars were all painted Gun Grey metallic. R and Maserati Ghibli.

The steering is power assisted; once up to speed it feels weighty and immediate. The engine is a real character, snorts and chuffs and tis-choo sneezes coming with each squeeze and relax of the throttle. It builds revs slowly at first, but once the turbos begin to blow there's a hardening of the engine note and more insistent embrace from the forces of accelerative G.
If you want a truly unique driving experience, the R32 is hard to beat. Dancing along the snaking, lumpen tarmac that coils its way across Black Mountain in Wales, the car feels brilliantly alert, agile and easily placed between the unforgiving rocks that line the margins of the road. The rear taillights were rounded and carried over from the regular, 4-door Skyline.
Inside, the car featured four seats but only for insurance purposes. The rear legroom was not so important, especially for the race version that was fitted with only the driver's seat. A simple dash design with straight-forward lines and a 6-dials instrument cluster was adopted.
A particular gauge was on the top right side of the instrument cluster showed the torque sent to the front wheels. The engine was an inline-six unit with a 2. The all-wheel-drive system was new and it was specially developed for racing.
