FUJIMI Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR32 Mark Skaife 1991 Bathurst 1000 1:24 – FUJ04667
After cancelling the Skyline GT-R in 1973, Nissan revived the GT-R again in 1989. At the time Nissan was competing in Group A Racing with the Skyline GTS-R. Nissan wanted to retire the GTS-R in favor of a more competitive vehicle. The new generation GT-R, E-BNR32 chassis (commonly shortened to R32), was designed to dominate Group A racing.
Mark Skaife won his first Bathurst 1000 in 1991, partnering with Jim Richards in the Gibson Motorsport-run Nissan Skyline GT-R R32. Dominating the event, they took pole position and led most of the race, marking the first Bathurst win for a GT-R and a major breakthrough for the 24-year-old Skaife. Skaife set a time of 2:12.63 in the Top 10 Shootout, besting his own 2:12.84 from earlier, demonstrating immense speed.
The R32 GT-R, nicknamed “Godzilla,” was heavily developed by the Australian team, utilising a 700-horsepower engine in race trim, all-wheel drive, and custom brakes.
