The R32 Skyline GT-R, coded BNR32, was first produced in 1988 including prototype cars, and the first six Nismo cars were built in 1989, followed by 554 more NISMO GT-Rs in 1990, all in Gunmetal Grey. Its RB26DETT engine produced about 320 PS but was officially understated because of the Japanese makers' gentlemen's agreement not to exceed 280 PS, and it was designed for about 500 hp in racing trim. The car had a larger intercooler, larger brakes, aluminum front guards and hood and flared wheel arches. The Porsche 959 was its target, and chief engineer Naganori Ito drew up the design specification with the Group A rules in hand. It dominated the Japanese Touring Car Championship, winning 29 races from 29 starts and the title every year from 1989 to 1993, and won the Bathurst 1000 in 1991 and 1992, earning the nickname Godzilla from the Australian press.
