After the success of the R31 GTS-R, the R32 GT-R returned with twin ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, electronically controlled all wheel drive, and 280 hp (206 kW) at 6800 rpm. The RB26DETT engine actually produced about 320 hp, but was limited electronically. After removing the limiter, the car would put out 300+hp and could do 0-100 km/h in 4.7seconds and quarter mile in 12.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest GT-Rs to date. The GT-R had a significantly larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminium front guards and bonnet. Other distinguishing features include flared front and rear wheel arches.

The R32 GT-R was built as a Porsche 959 killer, and was designed specifically for Group A racing. It destroyed the Porsche lap records, and went on to win every race it entered between 1989 and 1997. It was such a fierce competitor, it earned the nickname Godzilla in Australia, the monster from Japan. The name has stuck, and become synonymous with its huge success. It caused much trouble in Japan as well, maintaining complete superiority. Such was GT-R's dominance that it is seen by some as a significant factor in the demise of Group A Touring Car racing, the formula being scrapped soon after. JTCC was similarly blighted by the R32 GT-R, and splintered soon after, leading to the switch to the Supertouring category and also indirectly to the GT500 category of today.

Much like the continued popularity of the Nissan Silvia, the BNR32 Skyline GT-R continues to populate circuits and drag events around Japan. The first to come with the RB26DETT engine and the also the least technologically sophisticated, the BNR32 is considered by many to be the "rawest" of the modern GT-R's. Tuning garages all across Japan have built countless monsters out of the BNR32 and have released parts for every aspect of its design. Popularity is still very strong and new parts are continuing to be released today.
