- Not to be confused with the NISMO Skyline GT-R S-tune (R32) '00.
The Nissan SKYLINE GT-R NISMO (R32) '90 (known as the Nissan GT-R NISMO (R32) '90 in GT7) is a road car produced by Nissan. It is a sport evolution model of the Skyline GT-R (R32) built by Nismo engineers for Group A racing, and only 560 units of this car exist (500 street models, and 60 race models).

In-Game Description[]
"A homologation model with 500 cars produced for Group A racing."
Armed with the RB26DETT engine with displacement meeting Group A specifications, a 4 wheel drive system to waste no power transfer to the road, and a 4WS system to extend the ability of the chassis, the BNR32 Skyline GT-R was a model that was born to win touring car races.
The proof of this is the GT-R NISMO that appeared in its second year of production, a Group A homologation model with a limited production of 500 cars.
Compared to the standard GT-R, the GT-R NISMO is equipped with fins above the front grille that increases airflow into the engine for cooling, as well as air inlet openings in the front bumper. To improve aerodynamic characteristics, the rear end of the side sills are given protectors that rectify air flow around the rear tires. A small rear spoiler has been added, and the turbos were changed from ceramic to metal. The exhaust manifold was specially redesigned for this car, and to reduce the weight the A/C, audio system, and rear wipers have been omitted, making the car 30 kg lighter than the base model.
The GT-R NISMO won the top touring car class in Japan, as well as many other famous endurance races in Europe and Australia. As a result it is well known for wreaking havoc in Group A races all over the world.
Used Cars (GT7)[]
This NISMO is the oh-so-elusive Skyline GT-R R32, a car of near-mythic status. It is the evolution of a production car designed to win Group A touring car races. Just 500 units were sold for its limited release in 1990. But how did it differ from the standard model? Well, it featured a front-bumper air duct to improve engine cooling... And a metal turbine to overcome high boost pressure. The addition of aerodynamic parts and the cutting of frills ensured it was faster and more lightweight. No doubt about it, this special edition was designed to win races. Built by NISMO, Nissan's very own racing division, this double-barrelled beauty is a true fan favourite.

The R32 Skyline GT-R is popular the world over, but this NISMO is really something else. NISMO, or 'Nissan Motorsport International' is in charge of the racing department at Nissan. It was established in 1984. Back then, Japan was mad for international touring car races starring the Super Silhouette and other Nissan greats. Actually, ever since the 1960s, Nissan's works team has won many of Japan's top grand prix races. This wealth of experience is what made NISMO possible. And with all the work that NISMO put into this GT-R you just know it's a legend!

Trivia[]
- The car held the record for the longest absence between its appearances, taking 23 years, 5 months and 14 days to return from GT2 to GT7, skipping 3 console generations in the process. This record would stand until the NISMO 400R '95 was added in Update 1.40.
- The patch notes for the GT7 update that added this and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce '67 incorrectly stated that the car was going to be sold in Legend Cars.[1] This does not occur in the Japanese website, however.[2]
- A similar error also occurred with the Nissan Silvia K's Type S (S14) '94.
- In GT7, the parts available with the widebody installation can make it resemble the R32 racecars of the 1994 season of the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship.
- The lip spoiler installed to the car alongside the original wing is permanent and cannot be removed at all.
- The car features a speed warning chime that is not present on the late model. The chime activates when the driver is going over 105 km/h (65 mph).
- Compared to the V • spec II R32, in GT7, the car has better acceleration despite having the same power output due to being lighter.
