R32 Skylines are 25 years old...

[Northern]

^This, they've been abused/neglected just as bad as many other performance-oriented vehicles of it's age. I say this kindly, but it's an old Nissan, who's build quality cannot possibly rival that of an E30(or any other BMW of the same era). If you're gonna spend some loot, at least buy a Supra.

I was pretty much saying that I think I've bought my last e30. All the more recent ones I've bought are just such massive projects that I don't know if I'll ever get to a point where I have a decent car.

On the other hand, a friend of mine has a GF8 Sti and a second gen CRX Si, and they're both clean as fuck. The only issues he's had were bricking an ECU on the subie by messing up some chip he tried to install, and his CRX dropping a valve a few months after a local place built him a head.

Quoting this for future reference.

Son of a bitch.

R34s are legal here now, have fun with your r32s.


But seriously, I would rather have a gc8 v4 type R or better for the money, I think I'm done buying cheap cars in shit shape.

I'd probably sell the 355 and source one that's been well kept and mostly stock.

Also, I don't live in Canada (which I'm happy about).

There have been a at least two R32s running around Portland since at least 06. I think the owners just did vin swaps and titled them as a 240sx. Both are (or at least were) RB20 powered gts-t models.

All that effort to import a slow as shit GTST? Seems like a waste of time/money.

thats possible. My friend had a 04 d90 defender from Canada registered as a Freelander.

For real.

Glad I find this thread. I'm looking to get a R33 GT-R here. My friend imported it from Japan to Chile and from there he took it down here in Peru. Look slike it is stock most of the car. It's already LHD converted keeping the twin turbo setup.:)

So here is the question, any real good forum to join about these cars? I want to join the R3V of the R32/33/34 GT-R forums to get some good reading and learn something.

Thanks,

Diego, I'd imagine the best forums are probably in the UK. US/LatAm owners don't have enough critical mass to support anything useful and RoW forums will be in silly languages.

I'm headed to Japan this week and will be peeking around - found a buyer for my 355! Might see about making it happen!

It's a Berlinetta?? That's on my wish list. Before getting my 993tt I was looking for one of those, only exist like 4-5 F355 here in Peru though.

Back on topic through my tapatalk iPhone software i found quite few GT-R forums. I found good info in skylineowners.com and easy read in GTR Canada (didn't know Canada got those cars).

Guess one of these should work....

Yeah - but if you're going black market & trying to pass your car off as a 240sx (aka. S13) then the GTSt looks closer to a 240 than a GTR does.

Still a 240SX with SR20T swap would have been just as quick & legal.

It was - got rid of it yesterday. Was fantastic for the seven or so months that I had it, but glad to see it go. Insurance was destructive, even on a minimal use policy.

Passing on the Skyline as I want a GT-R, but not the hassle of getting one. Looking at an NSX instead - probably a '98.

Must have been converted to LHD. I don't think Nissan ever made one.

That shit cray.
