Nismo
Pulsar GTI-R complete car (RNN14)

Why it matters

These were the only Pulsar GTI-Rs completed by Nissan's own motorsport arm as ready-to-race cars, and with 21 built they are by far the rarest factory version of the GTI-R.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

NISMO offered a long list of competition parts for the GTI-R, including roll cages, bodyshell strengthening and uprated limited-slip differentials, and also built complete cars on the lightweight RB base. They were delivered without carpets or rear seats.

The GTI-R Registry has records of four of them (nos. 005, 010, 020 and 021).

“Not yet verified” means no source has been checked for that value yet. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

A NISMO complete car carries a NISMO VIN plate on the firewall and a NISMO badge on the tailgate, is built on the RB (competition base) car and left the factory without carpets or rear seats. Many standard GTI-Rs were later fitted with NISMO parts, so the plate and the registry record are what identify a genuine car.
