Based on R32 GTS-T it has a custom widebody and aero kit. However the special thing about it is that it has a 280hp RB30DE. Long tube header, RB26 head with ITBs, RB30 bottom end. That is a lot of power for 1989-1991 when it was made from a 3.0l engine without forced induction.

I think I might make it my quest to find one of these and bring it to the US.

This guy claims to have the engine to give you an idea of how it sounds. The car is however NOT the same.

This car cost $65,000 new in 1989.... a GTR then cost around $28k. This is a quick and dirty 1:1 JPY to USD conversion since I don’t know the rates then.

I actually found the R31 for sale 6 months ago for $16k in Japan. So if you want a Tommkaira RB30DE car they seem to be around though rare obviously.

Ive been looking at the R30 models, specifically the Turbo versions, love those lines. I do have an unhealthy love for the R32, the GTS-T (for its RB20), but wouldn’t be able to say ‘no’ to an R30 or an R31 either.

I’d be driving a white R32 GTS-T as we speak if it wasn’t for the DC2.

Exceptionally rare, and any part from the car (ie. wing etc) goes for a huge premium
