Last weekend, a guy contacted him, wanting to trade his R32 GT-R for the GTSt... We went down to check it out, and during the test-drive, things got a bit reckless. Before you know, the police showed up and...

yep, taken away for reckless driving and no proof of insurance. Well, today, the car came out of impound, went for CHP inspection and a couple of hours ago the trade was completed. He just came by and I snapped some pics...

yeah seriously! Was it a straight up trade? If so, he got a GOOD deal.
Also, what makes it a Nismo edition?

just so i have this striaght, the newer r33 gtst is cheaper than the older r32 GTR. wow
well i dunno which i want more. i almos like the r33 better. but that 32 is nice as shit.
good luck, dont get pulled again.
Very nice, I love Skylines but I find them overhyped and would not be able to handle people constantly asking me stupid questions or drooling over the car. :)

question, so that is a street legal r32? The cops say anything when that happen?

Who was driving during the test drive? If it was your buddy, then damn, the owner must be the most laid back guy on the planet. If it was me, I would've told you to go DIAF for getting the car impounded...
Nice car though, just needs a good lowering.

it might have been repainted. somehow that doesnt look like quite the right white (say that 5 times fast, lol), and the paint seems pretty bad (granted its a fairly old car).

oh the R32 is cool too... :)

08-31-2004, 03:44 PM
R32's came with HID's? Or is that just some bulbs or did he add a HID kit? Both cars are badass regardless....

08-31-2004, 03:50 PM

Straight up trade... The guy is building a motor with a diesel bottom end (RD30 hybrid) and wanted a RWD body. The RB25 doesn't matter to him anyway...
Apparently Nismo edition= larger turbos, injectors, ITB's, injectors and Nismo ECU. It also came with Ohlins suspension with separate reservoirs.

I don't, heat dissaptes faster with a raised hood. Especially in CA heat and with that R32, getting rid of heat is very important.

Are tehse completely legal? The only way to have a Skyline driving on the streets is through Motorex. They charge a shitload IMO.
The way many ppl do it is they buy a Skyline off of Ebay or something, have it shipped, and get VIN off of an old Sentra and have an inside mechanic pass emissions and safety. ima get one of those bitches some day.

wow, thats a hell of an upgrade! especially the Ohlin's, they are the Sex0r!! :bowdown: you know, if you need the shocks rebuilt, the NA Ohlin's facility is 30 mins north of me in N.Carolina... if you need someone to watch teh car while its on the East Coast, i may be able to help ya... :naughtyd:

I recognize that car. I think it was sold on ebay a year or so ago. I might be mistaken but it looks identical except for the wheels.

like i said if everything checks out then good trade.

I highly agree, followed closely by the R34 in 2nd. R33 is my least favorite. I'm anxious to see what the 2007 GT-R will look like. Top Secret is already building their own GT-R, G35 chassis, 4.5L Cima Engine tuned to 800hp, AWD. Should be intesting to say the least.
Back on Topic: Nice R32, I'd say your friend got the better end of that deal. Send my Congratulations his way.

yea yea yea nice car....when is my turn to take it for a spin? ;)

isn't the G35 sedan considered Nissan's R35? it doesn't make any sense to me. it doesn't even look like a skyline.
i like the cars that evolve from their predecessors and change gradually. Like the Sentra, Altima, or even Evolution from Mitsu. You can see how they changed body lines/accs/design gradually. BAH who cares...

No. The G35 = Skyline
Skyline != GT-R
Your ignorance is due to the fact that your primary exposure to the 'Skyline' moniker is via GT-Rs, as they are the most powerful, etc.
Skylines have sold in Japan for MANY years as sedans/coupes. 75% of the Skylines you see everyday are either 4 door, non-turbo, or both.
There is no R35. I'm not sure what they're going to be calling the chassis of the new GT-R, but it'll be an Infiniti GT-R (for the US).
Nissan currently has no supercar. Hell, the best thing they have right now is the Z. Not that the Z is something to scoff at, but I would never consider it on par with a GT-R.
Note my pleasant surprise when I found out the trade had occurred.
That older GT-R is worth more than the newer GTS25t. Here, at least.

thats one hell of a deal. tell your friend to copy the nismo program off that ecu i bet its alot better than the stock and some rb26 people would love to get their hands on it (not to mention this is one of the few nismo ecus out there so its wicked rare...)

09-05-2004, 11:35 PM
yall well i am the owner...gosh i am always the last to see the dam pics of my car.... well the suspension is blown, the radiator was just replaced with a Koyo, the fans need to be replaced...the Hicas MUST MUST be removed... and EVERY DAM COIL pack on the car must be replaced and may be(keeping fingers crossed) the ignitor wont need to be replaced...
The car is Not a Nismo edition...futher looking into the car we found out that it just had a few Nismo upgrades... R32 never EVER EVER EVER came in a Nismo edition.... though Nismo did make a good deal of parts for it....
Wait did i for get to mention the brakes need to be replaced.... And the Dam thing is White... I hate white... every dam white car i own is like a angel from heaven with a grenade in hand....
Anyways... NEW Brembos are comming for the car, Split fire coil packs have been ordered... New suspension all the way around is next... Also the Nismo turbos have been put on order and so have a few other toys...
Just to let you all know the R32 is the ONLY GTR skyline that with the flip of a switch can be come a 0:100 ratio car making it totally drift able........ :) thats what is the best.... Also the car came with an N1 exhaust system, alpine head unit and some cheap pioneer speakers....
I all ready installed some defense toys as this car is not being stolen like my last car... I CANT STAND THIEFs.....
And yes this car is totally legal.... else wise it would never have gotten out of impound...
LOVE SKYLINES>>>>240 is still what i dream of though

great the guy that got punked by a girl when i first met him got another skyline..before you go all out in parts, try learning how to drive. getting shown up by a pretty much stock s13 in the twisties doesnt make you look good buddy. and yes, i am a asshole. :D :D

Here's a Nismo (http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/stocks/32_061.html)
From reading that (as my only source for this statement), there were 500 Nismo R32 GT-Rs produced, with a "N1" style headlight, which I guess is rare. I tried to do a little research to find out more, but, I don't own the car, you do. If I owned it, I'd restore it to it's original color, fix the issues with better than stock parts, and start respecting the car as it should be. You got a hell of a deal, congradulations. :blah:

Hahahahahahaha....dude there's so many kids out here like "ohhh yeah, i'm getting a skyline this and skyline that, and bringing it back to the states"
when they think they know something about cars but they totally over see all the other bad ass cars out here.
but me on the other hand....am waiting for the loan to go through for a silver r32
that's one hell of a nice trade! man it looks good.
