Nissan Is Restarting Official Production Of Skyline Spares

It’s time for die-hard JDM fans to get excited, because Nissan is launching a Heritage Parts Programme to supply genuine, Nissan-made OE-spec components for its classic performance cars.

The new venture, which will be part of the company’s motorsport division, Nismo, will open its accounts by making spares for the R32 Skyline GT-R, but other models will be covered as well as time goes on. We expect that to include the R33 and R34, plus the various generations of Fairlady Z, the best-known of which was otherwise known as the 300ZX.

The new scheme should bring a halt to the problem of classic Nissans being repaired with sub-standard parts that could ultimately cause more damage and lead the cars to be scrapped. Nissan wants to keep these old machines on the road, and will supply the parts to make it possible.

The Pulsar GTi-R and Primera GT, the racing version of which was a stand-out performer for a while in the British Touring Car Championship, could also be covered eventually, if the demand is there.

Nismo will begin manufacturing parts for the R32 in September or October, with official sales starting soon afterwards. Overnight parts from Japan, anyone?

😃, they listened. 🤗

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!!!!!!!!

I’m hope that Nissan make Datsun parts again

Is anybody gonna mention about Mercedes stopping their classic parts policy?? Nope? Okay then…

yeahhhhhh PRIMERA GT

The opening of the US market to R32s and other japanese cars made a huge impact on Japanese amrket. There were a lot of cars taken to America. If it had continued like that, the skylines would get rarer and rarer, japanese market would be drained because of many Muricans’ ability to pay more the car than Japanese. This would mean that there would be less cars, not only in Japan but in the world as well. Some of them would get disassembled for spares, some of them would crash and the car would get rarer. Overall, the world would sabotage itself. This move from Nissan increases the market’s stability and anyone in need of replacement parts will now go to Nissan, not to car world equivalents to Poachers (aka people who disassemble perfectly good classics like R32 for parts)
