If you’ve always wanted a factory showroom condition Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, this could be your chance. NISMO announced a new restoration program that takes a suitable donor car and restores it to new condition, but it will cost you at least $433,000 USD. They won’t accept any GT-R, as the team needs to first examine the vehicle before the customer decides if they want to restore it back to original shape or even change the specification (GT-R NISMO, GT-R V-Spec, NISMO 400R, etc.).
