Update: GT-R Registry has a full breakdown of colors and types. Check it out. They managed to get lots of the missing FAST info.
FAST - Nissan's parts ordering system, has a way to look up cars by chassis number. From the chassis number you can find out the equipment originally installed on the car "the options", the color codes, date of production, and a few other details.

| KH2 - Gun Grey Metallic |
Now that IVI - importavehicle.com is importing and selling a lot of 25 year old Nissan Skyline GT-R's in the USA, we get a lot of questions about colors. It always seems that most of the cars are - dark grey. The color is called Gunmetal - Gun Grey, or Gun Grey Metallic. The color code KH2 was the campaign color of the car, so it was the one that was in all the brochures.

It seems that the FAST database is missing a lot of cars (664 in 1989). Our best guess is the cars that have been de-registered have been removed from the database. So exported cars, crashed cars, or other cars may not show up. However we can pull numbers from what are listed.
BNR32
#KH2 - Gun Grey Metallic
#KG1 - Jet Silver Metallic
#TH1 - Dark Blue Pearl
#AH3 - Red Pearl Metallic
#732 - Black Pearl Metallic
#326 - Cristal White
#KL0 - Spark Silver Metallic
#BL0 - Greyish Blue Pearl (special order)
#AN0 - Wine Red
In 1989, Nissan Skyline GT-R chassis codes - VIN numbers- started at chassis number 54, or BNR32-000054 and went to chassis number BNR32-005083. Although FAST and one other reference differ.
Total of 4365 cars paint codes pulled for 1989, and in a huge surprise KH2 dominated with 72% of the cars being gunmetal. A distant second was 732, black with 18%. Third place - silver only saw 5% of the bodies. TH1 - or one of two blues that are seen on R32s only showed up on 3% of the cars. Last place, but always faster, red with only 2% of the cars being red.
| Color | Total |
| KH2 | 3138 |
| 732 | 765 |
| KG1 | 239 |
| TH1 | 143 |
| AH3 | 80 |
| 326 | 0 |
| BL0 | 0 |
| AN0 | 0 |
| All | 4365 |
Even though this list is missing (5083-0054=) 5029 - 4365 = 664 cars, its a pretty good guess at the numbers and percentage of cars in each color available in 1989.
Next up - 1990's. From what we know, and what we see, we expect the split to be similar, at least until 1991, when 326 - white became available.
