Nissan changed the rules of racing with the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R. It earned the name Godzilla by dominating everything Toyota, Honda, BMW and Ford had to offer. The RB26DETT and ATTESA ET-S system turned the R32 GT-R into the fastest production car. Find out how the top secret 901 Movement created the GT-R and many other cars at Nissan in the 90's.

Fun fact: every generation of the GT-R, starting from the R32 have set a lap record at the Nürbugring. No wonder why Porsche were so salty and accused Nissan of cheating.

@tom.m 5 ай бұрын

Weren't they sort of right tho? I thought that was part of the reason official rules were created only a few years later.

@a.m3687 5 ай бұрын

@@tom.m I won't call it cheating. Most of the cars that have set a lap record at the Ring was not 100% factory stock. Including Porsches, Vipers and etc. Porsche runs their cars with the deletion of A/C, Audio and Communication systems. Also with the racing bucket seat from the GT3 Cup race car. What made them look salty was that they accused Nissan of cheating without any proof. In my opinion those times doesn't matter and cannot be compared. Because we never know what damper settings, tyre pressures and weight reductions the manufacturer is using to shave off seconds for the actual lap time.

A thing I learned recently is if you look up the lap times for the GTR Skylines, You will find that the R32's lap was in wet conditions. in comparison to the R33 and R34. R32 did a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 8:22.38, Key point here, That lap was In the wet. R33 did it in 7:59.887 In the dry. R34 managed a 7:52 again in the dry. But, at the end of the R32 in 1994 they took it around the Nürburgring Nordschleife and managed a time of 7:49 in the dry in a R32 N1 GTR. Because this was faster than the upcoming R33, it was kept quiet.

In the second half of the 1980s I worked for a major automotive magazine, and went to Nissan to interview a few brasses, including Yasuharu Namba of NISMO. He was a man of small stature, friendly and gentle and yet not prone to over-familiarity, and I couldn't help sensing that he always had a couple of projects being developed inside his head at all times. When Yutaka Kume announced the 901 movement, almost everyone at the editorial office was skeptical as Nissan seemed like a basket case at the time, I was one of two who were convinced that they're going to pull it off. With hindsight, those were the heady, glory days: heroes could well be those mild-mannered middle-age men in suits and ties, with the fires of a teenager within them.

During that era Aussie had strict rules governing a certain percentage of Australian manufactured content in mass produced cars known as the Australian Design Rule (ADR). As a result Aussie GTRs were further developed by Nissan Australia and had better engine cooling and no 180 km/h speed limiter. They are better overall than JDM cars. ADR also led to improved versions of the Mazda RX7.

I dunno about that... back in 1995 I remember walking by one in a parking lot in Japan and it immediately drew my eye to it and made me drool on it even though I didn't know what I was looking at. I figured out really quick after asking some friends about it though. You have to remember that even into the mid-90's most cars on the road were fairly boxy. A Skyline with a GTR drivetrain would've fit as a sleeper, but the GTR looked quite a bit different than a regular Skyline.

@TheAlphaDingo Жыл бұрын

as both a car lover and a G fan (Godzilla), how can you not love the nickname they gave the GT-R. An all conquering monster of immense power, unrivalled, undefeated, unmatched. Such a shame that they stopped allowing them to compete here in Australia - the protective union mindset of trying to protect the local manufacturing industries was counter productive. Instead of getting innovative to regain that competitive edge, they got complacent and lazy.

Long before the skyline ever came out the Buick turbocharged V6 was banned from racing because it made more power than any NASCAR any car from that era in general within the required cubic inch size. And it's faster than any skyline. The Chevy S10 cyclone from 1992 all-wheel drive turbocharged 4.3 was faster than the skyline s*** it was the fastest production car in the world it was faster than the Lamborghini that came out that same year. I don't understand all this hype about these JDM cars they're not really that powerful and they're not really that hot we have tons of cars built in the United States but nobody seems to talk about him and they have these stupid wait lines to get an imported when you go on Craigslist and buying American car built in the 90s that was faster than the m*********** anyways can cost a quarter of the price.

Absolutely LOVED this video! I remember watching the GTR thoroughly dominate the competition at Bathurst, and falling in love with it. That dominance spawned a love affair, and a cult following here in Australia that is probably stronger now than ever, so much so that most of us can't afford one. What we can afford however is the GTR's forgotten baby brother, the GTS-4. With basically the same attessa system, hiding behind an RB20 instead of the legendary RB26, it's ripe for those of us who can forgive it's lesser nameplate for the opportunity to create something a little different, but much more affordable.

This video was so great on detailing the technical history and matching social responses worldwide. I was at Bathurst when Godzilla one. Rainy day big crashes really close racing,and the GTR blasted all that challenged. I worked at Holden GMH. The Nismo teams opened the eyes of many, professionals involved with advances that were developed at the same time as they raced. Electronic data that other companies dreamed about referencing, the GTR had destroyed all that year in group A. The footage of the races in this doco was well edited and covered GODZILLA and the achievements with out bias. Well done.

Fred Gibson motorsport played a big role in developing the GTR Godzilla, 4 wheel drive 4 wheel steer. They failed in initial year 1990 dominated in 1991 & had all the dramas of the declared 1992 bathurst 1000's. They were the best car on the track in 92, there is no doubt of it but whether they really belonged to be there is highly questionable

Really good video! I was sationed in Tokyo all through the 1980's and as an American I was simply blown away at the cars Japan made and didn't sell to the international maket let along the US!!! I do take one difference in the opening of your video. You said "War Crime" with an illustration of a map and an explosion.... This was not a "War Crime". Needless to say, I loved and still love my Japanese cars. While there, I owned a 1975 Mitsubishi Galant GSR GTO 1900cc with duel side draft Solex carbs and possy rear traction STANDARD from the factory!!! OMG I loved that car! I have been a Nissan/Datsun fan also for years and am a proud own to this day of a 1993 Nissan Gloria. LOVE IT! Keep the vid's coming!!
