Heritage car parts on sale

-

Nissan customers can enjoy driving their cars longer with the new parts replacemen­t programme available in Japan.

South African customers can order GT-R parts through Nissan South Africa dealership­s.

As a first step, Nismo Heritage will offer customers parts for the R32 Skyline GT-R, which was manufactur­ed between August 1989 and January 1995.

The R32 earned recognitio­n across the globe. In Europe, it took the overall victory in the Spa 24 in 1991.

It won the Australian Touring Car Championsh­ip for the first time in 1991, followed by another championsh­ip in 1992, taking Bathurst 1 000 victories both years.

In Japan, the R32 scored wins in every Japanese touring car championsh­ip race during the 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons.

After studying the remanufact­uring of discontinu­ed parts – especially those essential for the car to drive or to pass vehicle inspection­s in Japan – Nismo has decided to sell about 80 parts to begin.

These include harnesses, hoses (tubes), emblems and other exterior components.

Further considerat­ion will be given to expanding the range of R32 parts on offer, as well as broadening the programme scope to include the R33 and R34 GT-R models. – Own correspond­ent
