If the automotive world had an “endangered species” list, the R32 GTR would undoubtedly be a new addition to the mix. Four years ago, when Godzilla was making it’s first debut on US shores, clean GTR’s were abundant and a remarkable performance bargain. Now, these vehicles have ascended to collector car status, with well preserved examples being as hard to find in the States as they are in Japan. It’s becoming more and more common for importers to bring in rougher examples, dress them up, and list them for sale for “collector car” prices, leaving buyers with a vehicle that looks like a gem but drives like a jalopy. This particular GTR, however, is what they call “one of the good ones. Displaying just 106k kilometres (66k Miles) on the clock, this low mileage GTR has been tastefully modified and well preserved to be a true drivable collector’s car. The exterior is finished in the original Black Pearl Metallic, which has held up exceptionally well over the years. An N1 Style front bumper, side skirts, and rear trunk lip are the only modifications to the exterior and give this GTR a tasteful OEM plus appearance. The car sits on a set of original R34 GTR 6 spoke wheels, a worthy upgrade over the stock 16” units. Coupled with a set of Tein coilovers, this GTR looks and handles superb. Take one glance at the interior, and you can instantly tell that the previous owner of this car was extremely meticulous about the condition of their vehicle. The seats are free of any rips and tears and look like they’ve hardly been sat in! While the immaculate condition of the interior is certainly impressive, the massive bolt in roll cage steals the show whenever the doors are open. The dash is free of any cracks or bubbles, and a MOMO steering wheel has been added to enhance the driving experience. A Nismo shift knob rounds out the tasteful interior modifications. The factory gauges were enhanced with the addition of white and blue gauge faces, a suitable compliment to the electronic Greddy boost gauge affixed upon the steering column. Turn the key and the RB26DETT fires up without hesitation. A quick pop of the hood reveals the well-kept twin turbo monster in all it’s glory. The engine has remained beautifully stock besides the addition of twin M’s intakes and a front mount intercooler. An aftermarket exhaust has been added as well, and sounds great, however we are unsure of the brand. A quick test drive of the car confirms that this beauty drives as well as it looks. It’s clear this vehicle wasn’t improperly tampered with. Boost comes on strong and the car accelerates and shifts as smooth as butter! Handling is precise and direct, thanks to the Tein coilovers, Cusco front and rear strut bars, and the roll cage. If you’re looking for a collector’s vehicle that can do double duty as a weekend warrior, this R32 is one example that is sure to hold its value and keep a smile on your face!
