1990 Nissan Skyline GTR R32 Review – Video

 

Gears and Gasoline brings their series on JDM cars to a close with the granddaddy of them all: the R32 GTR. This was the car that made the world sit up and take notice of Japan’s auto manufacturers, mostly because it was beating them at everything.

The car has aged beautifully, and this particular example is currently for sale at Driver Motorsports. Inarguably the cleanest and most tastefully modified R32 we’ve come across, this is a Japanese supercar that begs to be driven.
