Mould King 27014S Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 — The Original Godzilla, 29 Wins From 29 Races

Before the R35, there was the car that earned the "Godzilla" nickname in the first place. The R32 Skyline GT-R dominated 1990s touring car racing so completely — winning 29 consecutive races in the Japanese championship — that Australian media gave it the monster's name. This 389-piece display model captures the car that started the legend.

The Real Machine

When the R32 Skyline GT-R returned in 1989 after a 16-year hiatus, it arrived with a single mission: dominate the Japanese Touring Car Championship. Mission accomplished — spectacularly. The R32's 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six (the legendary RB26DETT) produced 280 horsepower (officially — the real figure was widely understood to be higher), channeled through the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system to create a racing weapon that was essentially untouchable. In the JTCC from 1990 to 1994, the R32 won all 29 races entered. All twenty-nine. It also won the 1991 24 Hours of Spa, the 1991 and 1992 Bathurst 1000, and the Australian Touring Car Championship in both years. Australian motorsport magazine Wheels coined the "Godzilla" nickname in July 1989, and it stuck across every generation since — because this was a car that couldn't be killed. The R32 weighs just 1,430 kg, reaches 0-62 in 5.6 seconds (stock), and revs to 8,000 rpm with the mechanical symphony of a straight-six at full song. It defined an entire culture of Japanese performance cars and remains sacred in the tuning community.

Design & Accuracy

The "S" variant of the 27014 includes premium touches like electroplated details that elevate the model's presentation. The R32's distinctive boxy, angular design translates excellently into brick form — the blister fenders, angular tail lights, and that unmistakable straight-line silhouette are all captured faithfully. For JDM enthusiasts, this model is immediately recognizable and deeply meaningful.

Build Experience

At 389 pieces, this is a satisfying 45 to 65 minute build. The R32's angular design means clean construction with good part fits. The electroplated elements add a premium touch during assembly. The included display case provides protection and stackable collection integration.

What Builders Love

• Legendary racing pedigree — 29 wins from 29 races is the most dominant record in touring car history
• The original Godzilla — this is where the most famous nickname in Japanese car culture began
• Angular design suits bricks — the R32's boxy, muscular shape translates perfectly into brick form
• Premium "S" touches — electroplated details add a quality feel that elevates the presentation

Worth Considering

• JDM niche — while revered among enthusiasts, the R32 may not be recognized by casual car fans
• Static model — no opening panels at this scale
• Similar to R35 model — collectors with the 27031S R35 GT-R may find the two feel similar on the shelf to non-enthusiasts

The Bottom Line

The Mould King 27014S is essential for anyone who understands why a boxy, relatively modest-looking Japanese sedan earned the most terrifying nickname in motorsport. Paired with the R35 GT-R, it tells the complete Godzilla story — from the original monster that won every race it entered to the modern supercar killer that carried the name into a new century. For JDM enthusiasts, this isn't optional; it's mandatory.
