Skyline stuff

Goodluck if you go through with the drive. Ive always preferred the R32s. Great body style.

What are you trying to get out of this thread besides (you)s. You havent asked any questions.

>>17560252

you're going through craigslist? or buying from some owner, not through an importer?

>>17560417
I typed it in my head woops
This a good idea to get or should I wait for a better opportunity that's closer ?

R32 facebook page

looking at a gts-4 or gts-t for a DD as an R32 is supposed to suck.
Also looking at S13s.
Which should I go with, anons?

>>17560447

Good luck.
I would never buy a skyline from someone who wasnt an importer. Do you have all the importation documents? Are they filled out correctly? How do you know they didnt fuck any of it up? How do you know it isnt a grey market soon to be crushed car? I wouldnt want to pay for someone elses mistakes.

>>17560450
imo I wouldn't have either as a daily. For me this is going to be my second car.

>>17560458
I mean I have another car, but I'd give it back to my parents so they can have a second car.

NEVER buy any RB20 garbage

They are total trash engines. Don't fall for the RB meme. Only RB25 and 26 are decent.

>>17561272
RB25 > RB26

As long as it's near a major airport you should be able to get a plane ticket day-of for about $200 if you use a shit tier airline like Frontier. Just accept the fact that the trip will be expensive and go check it out if you think it looks promising.

>>17561716
agreed. youre spending $10k on a car. its worth the trip out there just to see. if you like it, great. but dont go out there thinking "well i came all this way, i might as well buy it"

>>17560437
If you go for this one, you'll have a road trip or at least a story to always remember the car by. It may end up meaning more to you this way.

The good thing about an RB20 is it self-limits the power capability, so you don't go overboard and blow it up as easily. There are people who claim it's more reliable than the other variants, which is a factor of it's smaller ports and overall smaller displacement. Think of this as an advantage. A reliable 350hp engine is better than a broken 500hp engine.

>10.5k usd for a r32
Fukn hell these are expensive now. Make sure you can get a copy of the auction papers, otherwise the mileage doesn't mean shit and it's more than likely rolled back.

As someone who daily's an R32 you should defiantly check it out if your're interested in these cars. Not a GTR but humble to say the least.

Have you considered an Evo instead?
Former R32 owner here.
RB20s are super laggy off boost.
Steering is numb and slow.
RB20 gearbox is made of glass.
Interior looks shit.
Fun to drive and sounds great but not really worth the money now.
Pic Related, my old R32

If you're a skyline nerd it's totally worth $10k+tax/transport/travel and the inevitable couple grand you'll have to spend to spruce it up

If not, buying an ancient used japanese 2-door with the steering wheel on the wrong side is one of the dumbest things a human being could possibly do with 10 thousand dollars, considering you already own a car.

Shit or get off the pot, nerd.

I'm buying an R32 GTR soon, but the Japanese owner removed the wing. Does anyone know where I can buy an OEM wing, or even good aftermarket?

>>17565690
There's one on ebay from japan, used. Around $400 shipped plus paint work

what gas mileages do the GTSTs and GTRs run?
I keep seeing figures between like 15 and 24ish
