To me, a properly done R32 is so much sexier than a R34.

[@kurtmathews2583]

Damn they r sexy as fuck but wat about the r31s that raced around Bathurst?

Really makes me wish Group A homologation rules were brought back, or at least included back into some of the bigger FIA races. It bred some of the most ridiculous (and ridiculously amazing) road cars, and equaly iconic Touring cars.

[@togera77]

no matter what you can say, the R35 will never be Godzilla. the R32 is and will always remain THE Godzilla

[@RiasGremoryS54]

No. Of course, the R35 is ALSO Godzilla. The R35 won the official FIA 24h of Bathurst too like the R32 did, but *several times more* and the same race reporter / commentators called the R35 Godzilla with reference to the R32.

[@togera77]

@@RiasGremoryS54 that's the thing. it's a reference. the R32 won every single race it raced on. the R35, it was strong at the start, but it was rather short lived. the R35 is more Fatzilla than Godzilla to me

[@Hessenspotter]

Have you ever stand in front of an Nissan GT-R GT3? It’s a freaking fat car. Like the Bentley GT3. It’s massiv. Compared to a sporty AMG GT/Porsche 911/ Ferrari 455/458 GT3

フォードシエラに勝つために開発されたR32スカイラインGTR！ グループA　富士スピードウェイに見に行った！懐かしい！

[@user-180-mand90]

It’s interesting how the GTR never looks much different in race spec over the various series worldwide. Meanwhile other race cars look wildly different with diffusers, wide bodies, carbon tubs etc. I wonder why this is?

[@XBBBBBXx]

because they were developing the race and the street version of the r32 at the same time. so it migth be that they decided to not change the areodynamically optimized racebody for the streetcar, probably besides the material. my first sentence is fact, the second one speculation

[@LeMansGT1driver]

It's mostly due to it being built under Group A Touring car rules. If you look up most race cars built under that rule set like the 90's DTM or Aussie touring cars, they also look very much stock, compared to GT cars.

[@HiBoa]

Group A regulations meant that they had to retain all exterior body panels to be identical to the road-going version it was homologated from, similar to what super touring would do in the 90's. All variations of the GT-R you see around the world are based on the original nismo version of the car, as was the case in 1990/91.

[@thefastandthedead1769]

@@HiBoa Exactly. Group A rules meant that you could not change the body.

[@divecolosio4988]

Are the pre-1996 JGTC were fall under Group A still? Cars were running body kits and they retains the unibody constructions

Gibson Motorsport in Australia made the fastest and most powerful GTR's in the world, even surprising the Japanese NISMO guys.

[@ohwell118]

That ATCC R32 GTR is what you call a game changer, in the literal sense. The only thing as quick as the Gibson's GTRs in a straight was either Dick Johnson's Sierra Cosworth or that HRT commodore (VP I think). In the corners though is where the GTRs set themselves apart. As dominant as it was in Australia, it was also killing it in the European endurance races. And in Japan, it's still the most dominant race car of all-time.

[@mozzaplaysgames7897]

@@ohwell118 There was a recent interview with Mark Skaife and Fred Gibson I believe and in it they talk about how they were invited to Japan to race their Australian built GT-R's against their Japanese built GT-R's. But supposedly that fell through when the Japanese realized that the Australian one would wipe the floor.

[@quincymitchell160]

@@ohwell118 I would agree, that is why the CAMS committee take drastic measures on giving restrictions to the R32s for the 1992 ATCC Season. First by restricting its power from ~620hp to ~450-480 hp, plus a 140kg handicap weight (1360kg to 1500kg), but it still win alongside the Bathurst 1000. *I know that the R32s were also given a 140kg weight handicap on Macau Guia race, but that occurred in the previous year in 1991 hehehe.

[@LeMansGT1driver]

Must be due to the dual exhaust system. Correct me if I'm wrong, but street cars usually have a 2-to-1 with mufflers and resonators that change up the sound as well.

Because of the firing angle is different. 😋 Simular to cross-plane and flat-plane V8.

Equal cylinder firing timing produces a clear tone. Whether that is your preference is up to you. I thought VW R32 3.2 V6's sounded good, as does Alfa Romeo's big V6's. Beauty is in this case in the ear of the listener! I still like the straight six too!
