Nissan is NOT building new R32s, lets not mix things up.
the Nismo Heritage program was meant to offload production of regular parts for niche/desired cars (like R32/33/34) to low volume production/batches, that would have no impact on Nissan's parts division P&L.
then they introduced a program where a current road legal Skyline GT-R can be essentially refreshed so it is like-new. the program would tear the car down and clean it up, refreshing/reusing existing parts if possible, but refreshing with updated modern materials
one of the biggest things about cars and how it is built now is also something no one talks about outside of OEM circles, which is how materials and construction have improved safety. for example, the Heritage program would replace your existing seats with new seat covering material, that tries to be close to original but updated to meet current safety standards for flammability.
a lot of attention to detail. for the average enthusiast all they see is a car and a price tag, and nothing else about why it costs the way it does.
