1:64 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 #1 Tooheys 1000 1992 Diecast Model Car

Is there any other R32 Godzilla more iconic than this? The controversial Bathurst winning R32 GTR would go down in history the last Nissan Skyline GTR that would be permitted to race in the competition. As of 1 January 1993 turbos were banned in favor of a V8 formula which would later evolve into V8 Supercars.

The 1992 Bathurst race was won for the second year in a row by Jim Richards and Mark Skaife driving a Gibson Motor Sport prepared Nissan Skyline GT-R, the pair becoming the first back to back Bathurst winners since Peter Brock and Larry Perkins had won in 1983 and 1984. Richards and Skaife had to be declared the winners after a rainstorm swept across the race in the closing stages causing many accidents in conditions deemed by race officials too dangerous to continue. The race results were issued as at the end of the 143rd lap, 18 laps short of full race distance. This was only the second time in the event's history where the race was stopped and results declared before the scheduled laps were completed. 

Due to high concentrations of Ford and Holden fans and spectators generally upset that a crashed car had won race winner Jim Richards, who drove a Nissan, was viciously booed as he took the podium. Distressed over the death his friend Denny Hulme which he was only informed about moments before he took to the podium, as well as the crowd's reaction, in his very brief, international live feed broadcast victory speech he told the spectators, "You're a pack of arseholes." 

No matter what some people's opnion is, history was made that day and this brilliant 1:64 scale model allows you to have a part of that history too!
