Nismo Celebrates 40 Years by Remaking Skyline GT-R Parts... For a Price, a High One

Nismo is pulling out all the stops for its 40th anniversary by bringing back some serious hardware for the R32 Skyline GT-R. Nissan is giving long-time fans of the "Godzilla" something special: a collection of newly remade parts for the iconic R32. From a stainless steel exhaust system that makes the RB26 engine sound even meaner, to upgraded intercoolers and intake manifolds that boost performance, these parts are as much about preserving history as they are about giving your GT-R a fresh burst of power.

What really stands out is how Nismo is staying true to the R32's roots, while also meeting modern standards. This isn’t just about slapping a label on old parts; they’re designed to enhance performance while keeping the original spirit of the car alive. However, this level of craftsmanship and authenticity doesn’t come cheap. With the exhaust alone running over $4,000, it’s clear that owning a piece of Nismo history is an investment.

In my opinion, this is a brilliant move by Nissan. The R32 has a cult following, and these upgrades will only strengthen that bond. For true purists and collectors, these parts are a no-brainer despite the high price tag. Sure, you could get aftermarket parts for less, but when it comes to preserving the legacy of a car like the R32, there’s something special about keeping it all Nismo.

In conclusion, for GT-R enthusiasts who want to maintain or enhance their R32 while staying as authentic as possible, this anniversary collection is a dream come true. It's pricey, sure, but for the love of Nissan heritage, it's a small price to pay.
