some pictures of my R32 which is to be my track car once i'm finished building it, and my R33 GTR V-spec road car.

R32:









R33:











R32 has a trust exhaust (turbo back), Rota boost alloys, K-sport coilovers, camber and TC arms, and lots of bits going on soon including a new built engine good for 500bhp.

R33 ha trust downpipes and exhaust, 18" nismo LM1 split rims, Bee-R rev limiter, nismo clocks, nismo gauges, nismo gear lever, tomei/nismo steering wheel, HKS induction, blitz turbo timer, Tein superstreet suspension, and some other nice bits and bobs.
appreciate there doesn't seem to be many jap car owners around these parts, but i thought i'd pop a post up anyway

Nice toys!

There's a white liner near me (GTSt 2.5), R32 I think) that looks mint and very droolsome. Maybe a bit big for my taste but lovely cars.

Lovely.

I have the same wheels on my R33 that you have on yours, but mine look totally different.

[Homer Simpson] Mmmmmmmmm Skyline.....
Welcome to the JapChat forum, we got all sorts in here, makes for a bit more interest & variety than a single marque forum imho.

Both lovely cars, I esp like the blacked-out look for the R32.

thanks for the comments guys, wasn't expecting many positive ones as i didn't see much of a jap following on here, couldnt see the japanese for the tvr's so to speak. hence not noticing a jap section my apologies.

Both cars are hicas equipped, but i have locking bars fitted to disable it on them as i prefer a moe pure untampered with handling setup, especially on the R32 which is has total go-kart handling characteristics.
just need the alignment and geometry set up and some more stiffening and perhaps a bit of seam welding on the R32 and she'll be ready for the engine transplant and some track work.

i'm a member of several single marque forums, and i agree its nice to have a mixed community for a change.

hope to catch up with you guys at some meets and / or events at some point

I cant remember what I said on the SXOC, but it was something about you having 2 Skylines, and me not having any

And glad you've joined up here on Jap Chat , Skyline owners are always welcome

lol i'm actually half tempted to sell the R32 and get a new bike, but that would be silly bring on the RB25 build.

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing

If it was todays weather all year round, I would say go for a bike definatley, but its not

Plus, if you sold the R32, when you get an R34 you wont have the full set

Strange question, but are the photos of your R32 taken in the car park next to Fairhaven Lake in St Annes near Blackpool?

very well spotted mate, they are indeed

fitted the coilovers down there at a freinds house, and being such a nice area it proved the ideal oppertunity to dig the camera out and take some sunshine shots of her
