Happy 40th, Nismo!
The year is 1984, and it’s a significant year in Nissan ’s history. Aside from the world premiere of the z31 Fairlady Z, the Japanese formally established its in-house motorsports division, Nismo .
In 1964, Nissan fielded a model called the Prince Skyline to compete in the Japanese Grand Prix that year, and made a purpose-built race car the following year with the R380. Nissan later absorbed the Prince Motor Corporation, taking several nameplates including, you guessed it, the Skyline.Throughout the ‘60s to the early ‘80s, Nissan would use a wide array of race cars for both circuit and rally stages.
Nismo gave it larger turbochargers and did tweaks to the suspension. It also went on a weight saving diet, and got unique bumpers and spoilers that was to be used in the race car. On top of that, it came packing with cross-drilled disc brakes on all corners, and anti-lock brakes were deleted to comply with homologation rules. The GT-R Nismo is even rarer than the GTS-R with only 560 built.We’ll take a break from all the Skylines and show you a Nismo-fied Nissan Silvia.
