Eikichi Shimamura's Nissan Skyline GT-R

Eikichi Shimamura's Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) is the car driven by Hakone Thunder Soldiers Leader, Eikichi Shimamura.

History
Shimamura challenges Takeshi Nakazato to a downhill race on Myogi. Nakazato catches up in the corners but Shimamura mashes on the power causing Nakazato to feel pressure to win. Nakazato then pushes himself and crashes his precious S13 into a guardrail. Nakazato then sells his S13 and buys an R32 of his own.

Nakazato is convinced by Mako and Sayuki to to challenge Shimamura again on Hakone on the condition that if Takeshi loses he has to get rid of his R32. The race starts and Shimamura takes the lead in the first corner. Nakazato saves his tires in flashback of how he lost to the AE86. Shimamura does the opposite, using all of his tires' full potential, thus he starts understeering. Nakazato, saving his tires, notices that, and passes Shimamura.
