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?

So, the dream of owning a stock S15 with OEM parts still available is becoming reality!
They should bring back the R34,R33 and R32 !
reaction when le me saw this
Ever since they became legal in an extra 52 states, the supply of parts has plummeted and the prices have gone up. It would make sense that Nissan would want a slice of the pie that’s going to aftermarket companies.
In my own extensive research, I found only 2 S15 Silvia gearboxes in Japan auctions, and a few RB25DET gearboxes that cost as much as a car.
I hope that enough pestering from Nissan would make R34 and Silvia legal in the US. Then I would want to live in the US in the future!
Next up they need to start assembling these parts and creating replicas. Then my life will be complete.
I saw this s14 at a garage near my house covered in snow, it was all stock, I wish to save it but I am only 15 and can’t afford a car :(
