    My R32 Skyline: Haltech install, 2step flames!

    For those who didn't see my thread, here's what happened to my E30.



    Of course the E30 was my daily driver, and since it was written off I had a little money to play with.
    Being in Australia, our Nissan scene is huge, with a few friends having S chassis.

    Went to see this R32, of which the owner was asking quite a high price for. We talked, I drove, talked some more, I went home. Made an offer that he said "no" to, thought nothing more of it.

    I get the text the next day, saying he's reconsidered and it's mine. Picked it up the day after that, and here we go!

    It's a R32 GTS-T. So RB20DET, which is 2 litre straight six single turbo. And RWD.
    Not a super rare car over here, but still interesting and fun. My first foray into turbo life.

    Originally a Japanese import in 2000, it's pretty nice.









    We've also started a little YouTube channel with said Nissan friends, called Autology. All about cars and the car lifestyle.

    I'll be doing a series of videos about my R32, and the first one is here:



    Go ahead and subscribe if you like it. Feel free to tell me why I'm shit.
    If you like it, let me know, cause that gives motivation to make more videos!

    There will be more exciting ones coming soon of their S14 and S15 too. As well as some fun ones with this.


    Forgive me r3v for I have sinned, and it feels damn good...

    I want to import a skyline to 'merica so damn bad.... But since they became legal, the price has hiked up so much. It's almost worth it just to spend the extra 10k for a gtr...

      Cool! Ive always liked these bodies. I looked into getting a gts4 for a bit but figured it probably wasn't the best thing to have as a daily in the states.

        Looks pretty nice. What's the weird white and blue buggy in the background?

                  GTS4 is a wicked car. It'd be perfect for winter fun, or just fun at any time.
                  Problem is rust, they do rust pretty badly if they're not taken care of, and the salt on your roads would kill them

                    Nice, drove one for about 6 months while I was living in Japan. It was my gf's car those Japanese girls were so nice, she'd let me take it for however long I wanted the car.

                        hahaha leave it to the car guys to be looking at pics of a skyline and point out an old buggy thing in the background. That thing does look pretty cool tho!
                        Beautiful r32 man!

                          Part 3 is up.
                          This one is a little less car oriented.
                          I badly make a BOV delete plate and we talk a lot of shit. Turbo flutter video is at the end.

                          As always, feel free to tell me what's bad about them, what you enjoyed, subscribe, etc etc.

                            There should be a video coming soon with info about the Mokes and such. We've got 3 of them, one of which is a factory 4x4 prototype.
