If it's raining there too, I wouldn't want to go get it anyway!
When you picking up today mate 
?
?
From bookface...
Oh Kevin.. I have no words.
I got it home in one piece, seems this one doesn't like BP Ultimate like the S14 didn't, had no choice though.
What a machine though, absolutely love it, pulls like a train and just goes. Left my dipshit mate in his DC5 for dust leaving some services!
Proper pics will come probably later in the week, I'm too busy enjoying it to bother washing it then rolling around on the floor with a camera.

Might whip it down to AET Turbos in Normanton and get it on their hub dyno, seeing as I've got a friend who works there. More for piece of mind the fuelling is OK than to see what it's making, as the boost will be getting wound up in time. Just need to sack the shitty standard brakes & wanky Jap tyres off really.
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.

For a car thats done 126000 km, brilliantly. It's very tight still, tyres have a horrible flatspot from being sat still for months on end so you get the old wheel wobble, but they're s**t Jap tyres anyway that can't cope with our climate very well. Power delivery wise, it's fully spooled around 3.5k and just keeps going until the redline comes. It'll spin up in 1st & 2nd, and it has no qualms about stepping out of shape coming off roundabouts in 2nd/3rd if you provoke it. It's very conservative on engaging the 4WD TBH, I barely saw the "Front Torque" gauge move up from 0 apart from when I was being stupid with it! HICAS is a little spooky but makes the turn in very direct, I'll give that a few months to see if I get used to it, if not I may lock it out. Driving position feels pretty much exactly how the S14A did, plus it's insane seeing those bubble arches in the door mirrors and the spoiler in the rear view. The engine noise, it's beautiful. Boomy when cruising though but the exhaust isn't JASMA stamped (and I've found no identifying marks on it either), and that's with the Catalytic Converter still fitted. It hints at popping & banging, a decat will bring the noise on overrun
. Brake wise, they're shocking, same size as standard S14/A brakes up front, which we both know sucked on a less powerful & lighter car! They stop you, but I daren't take it up to silly speed until they get sorted out lol.The only bad thing from the drive down is it seems to pink at high revs on the BP Ultimate I had to put in it to get home, but again the S14A hated that stuff too, and it was fine when I test drove it.
I wish I had a toaster boot install, now that could be an upcoming must have mod.
Looks awesome! Seems like an amazing car
sorry about off topic but you had an S14? What are they like reliability wise?
Yes I did. Only issues I ever had with it tended to be caused by me or by fixing previous owner's bodges. I was originally going to import a Silvia S14 Kouki before I gave up and went after R32s.
Sorry to bring up an old car when you've got this new beast but I'm planning to get one in the future as a track/drift car
Kouki are the best one's lolIt's off on R33 GTR Brembos, seeing as my mate has had his S15 written off by a dozy slut. The Regas, of course.
Nah that's fine Jared, I'm more than happy talking about previous cars, unlike some who become blinded by their new shiny & forget anything else existed.
haha fair enough, You and your mates have some nice cars by the sounds of it! S14a, S15 and now this! mmmmmmm
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
How did you go abouts obtaning the skyline? Call the,, give a budget and what you want, then they find and import? Dd you find it simple or hard work?
Pretty much, although I was checking the auctions daily anyway. It was very simple, seeing as they did all the hard stuff!
No?! All I got was that stupid radar thing. Didn't even get any piss soaked panties or anything
LOL. TAC, No s**t.
I know it is, but it was the only choice I had bar running out of fuel on the A1. It's nearly gone anyway.
One for the MCM boys.

I still have a small giggle to myself with that in the Evo. Must be something else in an R32! Cracking purchase m8!
D.
Lol cheers mate.
Had 2 muscle bound bum boys in an E46 M3 Cab fancy a race from the lights tonight at Xscape in Castleford, had a cold engine though having just left there so left them to speed off & rim each other.
In other news, V-Power hasn't cured my misfire, so that's my first chance to take it apart tomorrow. Weirdly, I'm looking forwards to it ATM. I think my interest in cars is back!

My friend had a s14a 'drift spec' sold it for £3000 the other month, if you're interested http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/192343-daily-14a-pink-wheels-yo-gay.html
Back on topic, Gaz, you sir are one lucky lucky man. Would love to be in your position!
That's your mates? I seen it and it looks lush lol
I joined them last month so I can start looking for a S14a or a S15 that needs work so hopefully a bargain
Looks like I've cured the misfire for the time being, but haven't took it on a long run yet, could be a high engine bay temps thing.
All I did was gap the plugs down to 0.7mm from 1mm, clean a couple of earths and poke about various ignition components with a multimeter lol.

I'm going to lose my licence in it. THE NOISE!
Tinkering i think its called....
I love working on cars and fixing stuff, would love it even more if i had an R32 GTR though.
As ive said before, car looks great and i bet your over the moon?
I think if i owned it i would end up sneaking out the house at about 2am to go for a little drive, just because i could.
