Gaz.'s Nissan Skyline R32 GTR

[Munson]

Anyway fair play to you sir. Not everyone has the balls to buy something like this.

 

[Joshua.J]

Nice buy, still looking at one of these. One passed me today actually in white sounded awesome! Can't beat NISSAN old skool jap cars.

 

[ben81]

Balls of steel! Theres a gunmetal car on PH but its 5k more than this was! How much use will it get?

Yeah the Newera one that's been for sale forever!

It'll be my only car, but I'll be trying to keep the mileage down TBH. Might get another shitter to use for mundane stuff, depending on whether I can do it cheap enough.

I didn't know, I don't often look at the R32 section as there are never many for sale!
It would be nice to get some use out of it I suppose but having one as only car is as you know courageous to say the least!
What are the main costs/things that go wrong on these other than large fuel and tyre bills?

 

[fil_b]

when are you due to get it?

looks an ace car tho

 

[Gaz.]

June at this rate.

They can have oil starvation issues, particularly when tuned or used hard. When the belts are due an uprated pump will go in, should spare the big ends from losing lubrication!

 

[Scrooge]

Put this in an R33 yesterday, god it's a heavy engine!!!!

 

[Gaz.]

Aye they're a big old unit lol. Bloody SR20 was heavy enough and that was an Ally block.

 

[Scrooge]

I had to stop once I got it in position, the bloke has lost all the bell housing bolts!! I really wanted to get it started!

I may need to pick your brains on a few things about it soon actually!

 

[Gaz.]

I'm not that up to speed with RBs yet, but I'll try.

 

[.Steve]

Saw the pics looking through their fb page, might nip for a look when it gets here

 

[Gaz.]

I never noticed it go up on there. I'll have to go look lol.

Are they the ones that pull a premium one week before Race Wars?

 

[Gaz.]

You got it!

 

[Jonnio]

Kiss my shoes?

[Philip.]

That is stunning!

 

[Winston]

Hero!! <3 I have wanted to own one of these since seeing one in the states as a child. great taste!!

 

[Mark-F]

aesthetically i find they hurt my eyes, but mechanically is just an epic piece of machinery.

as they say, looks arent everything, and i totally get that :approve:

 

[Wick]

Nice BMW 330CI Clubsport...... OH WAIT.

Lol! You brave brave man.

 

[MarcoB]

Is it me or does every single fresh import have 80k kms on the clock?

 

[Pep]

Amazing!

I wish I could afford 2 cars after seeing that blue on for sale.

 

[Gaz.]

Is it me or does every single fresh import have 80k kms on the clock?

I think it's just you, because this has 80k miles

They weren't built to be pretty in any way really, that's the appeal.

 

[JCC]

Like most 90's imports it looks like it will probably try to kill you at some point, which is awesome.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Bumpy, have you got it yet or am I missing a thread along the line lol.

 

[Ian_182]

Hi GAZ,good luck with this im sure it will be a labour of love sometimes but fair play to you.

 

[Gaz.]

Bumpy, have you got it yet or am I missing a thread along the line lol.

No I've not got it yet. A boat travelling at about 18mph takes a long time to get from Japan to the UK. It should be in the country now, although JM seem to think it will be this weekend, yet the boat's schedule said it hit Newcastle on the 6th, so I don't know what's going on there.

I'm provisionally set to collect it on the 28th.

 

[Jason_E]

Awesome! Just awesome. Got me looking at them now, I wont be able to insure one sensibly for a couple of years.

A DC5 however, theres something I could get imported. Or an EK. OH GOD THESE IMPORT SITES ARE DANGEROUS.

 

[Gaz.]

DC5s and EK9s are ridiculous money in Japan, the Yen's strength doesn't help. Can't beat fresh off the boat for chassis condition, it just depends how much extra you're willing to pay for a fresh import.

 

[Poopensharten]

Looking forward to seeing the pics Gaz, you must be so excited!

 

[wjb]

Love a Nissan GTR, yours looks nice and original, fair play to you for importing it yourself mate.

I used to live near a skyline tuner in essex, they always had some serious machinery in the workshop, dug this old pic out from when my Celica GT4 stayed there overnight

 

[Gaz.]

Which tuner is that?

 

[wjb]

Which tuner is that?

TR Racing which was based in harlow.

Don't think they are still going, the founder Rob sadly passed away about 3 years ago, he was a really nice bloke

haha! Well soon as it comes it looks like its in need of a detail, so I want pics and a cheeky Video lol.

 

[Gaz.]

I won't be detailing it, that's for sure. JM are sorting the paint as part of their service.

 

[Simon_16v]

Looks a good project! Just noticed you're from Selby too..

 

[Hixle]

I was chatting to a girl I work with actually about you/your skyline the other day Gaz. She's pretty well known in the Skyline scene iirc, drifts a pink/white R33.

 

[Mr R.]

I love these such epic cars, bet you cant wait to get it now mate?

Found this on AT. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...page/2/postcode/rm188jq/radius/1500?logcode=p
