10 years ago, i was given the chance to buy one of these babies. I declined, and have wanted one ever since...currently looking for a good example to covert, coress and treat correctly. GODZILLA :-)

[terbennett]

Awesome job on this one! I never knew that there were so many versions of the R32. Your videos are always good.

[TougeTime]

Just found this channel. Great info and so much better than click bait wikipedia surface info vids

[WrenchingwithWoody]

First skyline video I've seen in awhile that actually taught me something I didn't already know. GREAT job! Thank you for the great content and wisdom!

[ziggyfreud]

Great vid. Was time for me to reflect on when I had my Aussie delivered R32. Owned the car from 1993-2001. Regret very much selling it. Was pristine. Great memories :) BTW - new sub

Dear *Stig:* As others have already eloquently remarked, I am always astounded, awestruck and overwhelmed by the wealth of invaluable information you educate us with. This video, along with countless others (of yours) I have watched, clearly indicate the quality time dedicated to produce this for us and I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed it - especially how you edited your narration with the images you provided. *Because of you, Godzilla lives! Well-done! :)*

[poowhinie]

incredible guide man, you deserve much more recognition

[Loanarn]

Very interesting. I will have to check my plate to see if my car had the optional airbag.

[tylerhartman]

This was the most informative and useful video that I've seen by far!

Cant wait for you guys in American to start importing z tune, m spec, n1, nur, vspec2, r tune, s tune r34 gtr's, were lucky to have all of these cars available in Australia(btw there is about 5 ZTUNE registered to Australia)

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.

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.

This is hands down the best video I've seen on all the differences on the R32s. Incredible job man.

[ALiteralWalll]

This is my dream car, and after I get a R32, I’m thinking about getting a 35. Idk but it’s my dream and I hope to stick with it

[avgtr]

I love the r32 AND the background music used at 1:08 is also my alarm sound.

[ItsJusJason]

this has helped me, im not sure if im ever gonna get an R32 or an R34 but if I do, the first thing I would do is find out the problems of the car, make sure I get one thats in the best shape possible, make sure its completely imported and all set, give it a new rear bumper, change the color to a nice gloss blue, new parts for the car so it can take a bit of a beating, and give it a check up every month or 2 at a shop

[RRoman]

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.

Well done, very thorough and helpful! Best R32 buyers guide I’ve seen yet.
