    Been browsing through Driftworks for ages now trying to decide what I wanted next. Then I realised I could actually afford to buy and insure a R32 Skyline, so the hunt began! :)

    Will be picking this up in a week or two, can't wait!

    The plan is to use this as a daily for the winter and keep my Starlet garaged. As It's not the best car to use in the winter with it's track setup.

    It's a 1992 Skyline R32 GTST Type M, only been imported a little over a year ago. Only covered 137,000km, and is so clean underneath. (One of the main reasons I decided to take the trip up there.) Took a 600 mile and 12 hour round trip to and back from Middlesbrough.

    Basic specs/modifications:

    - RB20DET
    - Japspeed HICAS lockout kit
    - Japspeed/Daiyama Coilovers
    - Exedy performance clutch
    - Walbro 255lph fuel pump
    - HKS strut brace
    - Apexi exhaust
    - Enkei racing S wheels
    - GReddy boost gauge
    - Nismo dial faces

    So it's in pretty standard condition, which is good as I'm hoping to use it as a daily during the winter, then we will see what happens after that. Will probably become a drift car very quickly haha.

    Go with 18's :) That's what I have on mine and it allows it to look nice and low with less of the hassle you get running low on 17's. A few mm clearance is worth its weight in gold if you don't have perfectly smooth roads round your way. However where I am the roads are maybe just exceptionally awful....

    Just a few up to date pictures of the 32, will get some more soon.

    However spent most of the time this year getting the Glanza sorted and mapped, now running 235bhp! Quick is an understatement... Engine bay below

    On to the 32!

    I'm after a Origin Stylish front bumper, DMAX front wings and some Vertex side skirts, however I can only find them available in Japan and the carriage is a real killer... any suggestions let me know! Hopefully that'll all be done soon and I can start work on the engine build. Plan to go GReddy TD06 some point next year and aim for around 400bhp.

    I hate Rota GTR's so, so much.

    Please put the old wheels back on. Nice cars otherwise!

    Finally got the wheels and tyres all sorted. Cannot believe how much better it looks, going to keep it standard looking and keep it clean.

    Will hopefully lower it an inch or two at the weekend and have a play around with the adjustable camber arms.
