Look how god damn good that GTR looks... even 26 years later

*In Jeremy Clarkson's voice * "That Skyline.......just f**ks off."

I hated this car for winning and beating Ford , i have owned 3 GTRs since ............

That in-car starting 3:26 was just glorious. Seeing the GTR catchup and then rip through the gears to pass with that RB26 screaming!

This race is what switched me from ford V8's to Skylines

watching the R32 GTRs dominate Mt. Panorama as a kid - unforgettable!

I wish I could’ve lived through this era of racing. When they were actually shifting, using some of the most iconic cars to date, and had badass liveries

im proud to be owning a R32 gtr. A piece of history.

The boss of nismo at the time came from Japan to see the GTRs race, thats pretty cool. 3:05

This is the beginning of the legendary R32 "Godzilla" GT-R.

Despite being a lover of the Sierras, what a beast of a car!!! The Godzilla tag is well deserved.

Watching the gtr's at bathurst as a kids I fell in love with the 32. I have 3 kids of my own and have owned 3 gtr's I'm still in love lol

3:44 best moment of my entire life, this gear banging is georgious ! This dude drive like there is no tomorrow, I love it !

I made that 7 overtakes on the first lap from that GTR.... WOW

Cams theory was to put a lot of weight on on the GTR - when really all the had to do was make it rear wheel drive. The Sierras were crippled by an extra 80 kg & the Holdens were gifted some engine upgrades and lost 75 kg .

R32 GTR and RS500 Cosworth, two of my dream cars in battle!

How good was it to watch actual cars you could buy so to speak rather than a controlled cage with panels fixed to it? Motorsport was at its peak back then, been downhill eversince

Those were the days, great variety of cars, each with their unique characteristics, these were great fun races to watch!

wait you could talk to thedrivers while racing back then?

Back on the rocks back on the rocks, BABY! You gotta go and live forever!

I love the turbo tweeting you hear every now and then

The Virgin RS500 and The CHAD GT-R

MAN!! I could of swore that in car cam was 1080P!!! hahaah it's so clear!!!

That car was awesome... as well as the Driver behind the wheel....

Legendary car on a legendary track

The way how Dick Johnson raise his hand when Jim Richards fly pass...

Ahhh...the days before Australian touring car racing went weird and painted itself into a corner with dead and dying V8's that Australia doesn't even make anymore.

3:31 - 3:53 = Golden!

Racing today just is not the same.

These were the glory days of Aussie Touring car racing.

The R in GT - R stands for *INVINCIBLE*

Brock the mountain master RIP ! Thanks for the memories fighting these awesome GTRs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏

listening to that r32 roar at 3:34 gives me goosebumps

Great racing back then. An interesting variety of cars involved.

jim richards! kiwi legend!

I wish we had more cars like this again.

@4:55 awesome shot ❤ hi from New Zealand loved this as a 4 year old pretty much one of my first Bathurst I watched dad's mate had it on VCR he lost tape and somewhat thought I had it 😂😂😂

I loved the Nissan GTR's and the Ford Sierra, the squirrel sound of the Ford's was nice.

Fun fact, the GTR got the nickname Godzilla in Australia.

Is that Bruce McAvaney and James Hunt in the commentary box?! Amazing

i remember well the sierra boys worried by the obvious advantage the gtr had - and the handicaped it hard - but it still won alot of races

Holy...32 second lead? Are the Sierra Cosworth even in the same category?

The inboard cameras at that time are quite nice

Now this was the days of proper racing

I remember watching this as a kid and now I own a r32gtr

What a time to be alive 🤌

I owned a VL commodore gts once, had a nice straight 6 nissan engine

At least I’ve seen a few GTRs getting around, stuffed if I can think of a Sierra punting around town.

Lolol looks so much more entertaining compared to now lol

Well earned 18th place - Well done GTR

Great Fountain of knowledge

And then the rule makers got salty and slugged the GT-R's with stacks of weight. By this time though, Group A was on its way out due to escalating costs and lack of manufacturer involvement; bogans were crying, upset that a 6 cylinder turbocharged Japanese rocket was beating their heroes (never mind that the Gibson GT-R's were developed to an inch of their lives and were the fastest of their kind on the planet), the Brits were moving to the Super Touring era and touring car racing was going into somewhat of a dark age. I was a diehard Holden fan but I was always partial to the GT-R. It led me to the Japanese JGTC series which became Super GT. The racing there is awesome.

Cosine heaven, and I don’t think this track gets the recognition it should.

3:45 How violent are these two upshifts? Damn

If this video hit the algorithm in the right spot it would blow up

My favourite Tintop race car at my favourite circuit. Heavenly 🙏

i think we may be returning very slowly back to the golden era of supercar racing in aus with the introduction of Mercedes-Benz - AMG and Nissan back into the series. But to do it properly i think they need to return to using different engine configurations like turbo 6's and 4's

The GTR R32 was developed to defeat the Ford Sierra RS500.

Bring back Nissan R35 too RACE 2024 PLEASE

In the end I think it was a 110kg weight penalty 18psi Max hobbled it and it still won

haha Brocky in a FORD... HRT lovers are tasting bile.. :)

Even utter dominance was great to see in those times

Good ol' days. So awesome. xD

I miss these days

GTR has some body differences. Wider guards for wider wheels, obviously different wings and bodykits, also has an aluminium bonnet and vent slots at the front.

What great cars these were. I love all the black smoke at the start! You can't beat the sight and sound of the 4-cyl turbos pumping out nearly 600bhp!!!

Dialing through to the driver is character modern races cannot get back.

That's beautiful.

Theat GTR was a rocket. No wonder it got hobbled after the 1990 season

The cosworth tho 🤤

Nissan Skyline GTR32 aka Godzilla was still biting up to these days

Dammit, I never got to see these cars in action...

I didn’t know go pro was back in the 90s

All praise 2 the great one mr hioki

Wtf, are the narrators actually talking to the driver at 3:55?? :O

2021 and im still guttered that cossies and Gtr's don't participate in these races

Gtr haters looking at this all wrong… the GTR didn’t kill the v8, it stopped the grid ending up being all sierras as everyone started jumping ship

hate you so much GTR..............BUT YOU ARE A POWERHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holden man here but DAM respect

it still feels wrong to see brocky in a ford

Other cars:,bzzzz eeeeeeoooowwwww weiuuow Gtr: ROARRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Can't forget that they got forced to add weights to try and slow it down too. This is the real Godzilla. Completely rebuilt in Australia and was so much better than the Japanese version that Nismo threw a fit and blocked them from racing it alongside the Nismo touring car overseas because they didn't want it to beat them.

engine fuel management in its finest :D

I saw that exact skyline in a hanger at Essendon airport owned by Lindsay fox

This was the passing of the crown, from the sierras to the skylines.

bruce mcavaney has commentated EVERYTHING even the birth of GOZIRA

It was actually the Alan Grice/Win Percy Commodore that won, Larry came 3rd.

Bit of nostalgia

Easy to see why it was eventually banned from racing events. The R32 GTR was fucking unbeatable

I forgot about this period in Bathurst history. Sierra v Skyline. Where are the commodores. A mate of mine owns a Tommy Kiara GTR 32 inspired and personally engineered Monster. He won't let me try her at Willowbank

They used to do that all time, especially during the races lol

That Skyline made many Australians mad because kept beating the Holdens

Bathurst should return to a production car race to give it back some spark.

People calling the r34 Godzilla when in reality it’s the r32.

Nissan doing what Audi did best in the US and Africa. They quickly saw the potential of AWD too. They probably hated losing against Audi with their 300ZX.

Game over racing

It Came...It Saw...It Dominated....THE END

Commentator: "I do believe the Commodores will come good near the end of the race." Nissan GTR: "LMAO.... hold my beer...."

4s, 6s, 8s and trubos if only it was still this good....

where the V8 were at the end of their use, in 1983 i had a debate that V8 days at racing were numbered and coming to an end,

As much as i love the GTR on Skyline series(R32,33,34),i find it bullshit that BMW M3 GTR got disbanded because it was too OP,i wish those 2 GTR from different manufacturers may a comeback
