Gaz.'s Nissan Skyline R32 GTR



Thanks for the kind words lads.

So, I had her out on track at Blyton Park on 1/4/14...


I decided to take my other car too, loaded up with all this gear, plus some fuel for a mate, & his jack...

This proved a costly tactic, but the fuel cans didn't fit in the Skyline and I'd sooner be prepared!

The car was pretty much trouble free all day reliability wise, pushed a bit of brake fluid past the cap at some point, the rear pads wore rather weirdly in a very angular fashion and she didn't take long to get the engine oil rather hot so I wasn't getting lots of running!

Mostly let down by crap tyres and OEM suspension on the day though, as you can see in this picture it leans a lot!

Also picked up a stone chip on the windscreen on the journey to Blyton which you can see in the videos, and then copped for some chod of rubber at about 85mph out on the track!

A good day out, but to make her properly track worthy is going to require a lot of money and massively compromise it on the road, plus I don't really want to go down that route seeing as I'm trying to keep the car in it's original spirit but with sympathetic upgrades.


Here's the only 2 videos I got, had some GoPro/User interfacing issues!

  A special one.
Gaz ive just read the thread again, i still love it.

Is there any updates mate?

Another reason for the thread bump is that i have also just bought an import from Torque GT, ive now got the long road of waiting for the car which is a Subaru Bugeye Spec C RA.

Looks great, when ever I look at R32's I just think they need to be Gun Metal Grey lol. Friend of mine who lives in OZ has at Black GTR, always told me if I was to ever think about buying one make sure I could afford to buy it twice.
 
Cheers guys.

This is a quick iPhone snap of it when I went go collect it...

Also started tidying up the interior. New gear & handbrake gaitors fitted, the same style Nismo S-Tune leather gear knob I had in the S14A and a super rare OEM option armrest that has a cup holder section...

Also whipped this JDM gizmo out, appears to be a radar detector or something...

I'll probably fit my Nardi steering wheel tomorrow, and that's a lot of the interior eyesore sorted.
Where did you get your gaitors from? Looking for some for my r32
