Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 (BNR32): Complete Parts Guide
The Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, chassis code BNR32, is where the Godzilla legend truly began. Produced from 1989 to 1994, the R32 GT-R dominated every motorsport series it entered — earning its legendary nickname by destroying foreign competition at Bathurst, JTCC, and Group A racing. Today, the R32 is one of the most sought-after JDM collector cars in the world, and genuine BNR32 parts are increasingly rare and valuable.

ATTESA E-TS AWD System — R32 GTR Drivetrain Parts
The ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All — Electronic Torque Split) is the R32's revolutionary AWD system. It runs RWD under normal conditions and splits up to 50% torque to the front under wheelspin.
Key drivetrain parts for R32 GTR: ATTESA pump assembly, front drive shaft, rear differential (VLSD), transfer case, gearbox (Getrag 5-speed), clutch kit, flywheel.
R32 GTR Suspension & Brakes
The BNR32 came with an independent multi-link suspension setup at all four corners, plus factory Brembo brakes — a significant spec for 1989. Super HICAS four-wheel steering adds complexity but also stability at speed.
R32 suspension parts in demand: Front and rear struts, front lower arms, tie rod ends, HICAS actuators, sway bar links, front knuckles. R32 brake parts: Front Brembo callipers (4-pot), brake rotors, brake pads, master cylinder, brake lines.
R32 GTR Exterior & Body Parts
The R32's iconic body — pop-up headlights, wide BNR32-specific fenders, and the signature quad circular taillights — is increasingly hard to source in good condition. Genuine JDM body panels are far superior to replica FRP alternatives.
Most wanted R32 GTR body parts: Front bumper, bonnet/hood, front fenders (BNR32-wide), doors, rear bumper, boot lid, quad taillight assemblies, pop-up headlight units, side skirts.
R32 GTR Interior Parts
Original BNR32 interiors are highly collectible. Matching-number dash panels, Recaro seats, and the iconic multi-function display (MFD) are all valuable.
Popular R32 interior parts: Recaro bucket seats (original), dashboard assembly, steering wheel, gauge cluster, MFD unit, door cards, centre console, carpet set.
