At last you have joined the Skyline brigade mate.

Well done on the purchase of a great looking car.

Do me a favour quickly though, go outside and pull that GTR badge off!!
Apart from that looks a very clean and tidy Skyline. 8)

Very nice JJ




what is it really ?

[Stuart]

Is it April fools?
If it weren't for Pauls endorsement I would have suspected that you had pulled our collective legs again.

The car looks quite lovely, the Rays wheels suit it down to the ground, well done Jim you should be proud :thumb:

For the record, a good friend of mine ran his old one at 420 (pub figures) and loved his GTsT dearly.

[Gerry H]

The smug grin on your avatar is very apt JJ

[Fast Eddy]

Very nice JJ




what is it really ?

its an R32 GTS-T

RB20DET 2.0 turbo 220bhp

this is the spec from the ad......

Exterior

Very good condition metallic black bodywork, one of the cleanest examples I've seen, later spec II Type-M model (slightly different engine and ECU, a little more power than spec I's)

Non-sunroof shell (sunroofs on R32's are nasty, the switches fall off and hit you on the head when drifting....)

Rolled wheel arch lips all round for clearance allowing WIDE wheels and proper offsets! I've run 18 x 9.5J ET24 with no rubbing issues.

GTR aluminium bonnet (VERY light)

GTR grille ( being removed )

GTR front bumper with lip spoiler (all genuine Nissan items)

GTR bootlid with GTR spoiler

Type-M side skirts and spats (genuine Nissan plastic)

Rear wiper removed, holes filled with perfect fitting grommets. Looks much cleaner.

wheels...

Volk CV-Pro Split Rims, R32 GTR fitment, 17 x 9J ET20 all round,


Suspension & Steering

Cusco drift-spec coilovers, adjustable height & damping, tender springs added for road use. These coilovers are incredible quality (Cusco stuff always is!) and the stiffness is perfect for drifting and about as stiff as you'd want for the road. Handling is incredible. ( now being swapped for potenza shocks )

Cusco pillowball top mounts

Cusco adjustable rear upper arms, camber set for PERFECTLY even tyre wear

New Tein adjustable tension rods

New Tein tie-rods and ends

DDC custom precision machined 8mm rack spacers for HUGE amounts of steering angle

S14 lower arms with modified knuckles for wider track and more steering angle

Driftworks stainless steel steering column spacer for more direct steering feel and response

Juran alloy front strut brace

Driftworks Poly-bushed rear subframe

R32 GTR rear anti-roll bar (much stiffer than stock! Perfect for drifting!)

HICAS locked out, hydraulics correctly looped with power steering cooler intact


Transmission

Standard 5-speed manual box with fresh gearbox oil

Standard clutch

Clutch fluid flushed and renewed (DOT 4 synthetic)

Nismo 2-way LSD with fresh LSD oil


Engine

Standard RB20DET, never played around with, always looked after and run on
standard boost, very sweet engine.

Runs lovely, pulls strongly, no hesitation at any revs.

Always run on 99 RON fuel

New cambelt

New water pump

New platinum sparkplugs

Oil & filter religiously changed every 2,500 miles

New fuel filter

Fresh coolant

New remote coil pack kit (best mod I've ever done!), so no more coil pack misfires!

APEXi induction kit


Brakes

Front: Aluminium 4-pot calipers, standard vented discs and uprated pads

Rear: New Red Dot vented and grooved discs with custom vented and grooved handbrake drum section for drift use!!

Aluminium 2-pot rear calipers with new rear pads (OEM)

New handbrake shoes (OEM)

Fluid flushed and renewed (DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid)


Interior

R32 GTR seats front and rear ( now swapped for GTS-T originals )

All carpet and trim in excellent condition bar the rear window surrounds which could do with the trim being re-stuck, and slight lifting of the dash trim above the centre vent (both these are very common on R32's)

New dashboard vents

Genuine NISMO 260 kph speedometer

Gay fabric trim on door cars removed, vinyl rubbed down and polished - looks
MUCH better than stock

Panasonic CD/MP3 Stereo (works with iPod) with Kenwood AFC speakers

Momo leather steering wheel and correct R32-specific boss (rare)

RAZO suede gear knob

Original Skyline fitted floormats

VSIB/Insurance Approved Sterling Excel immobiliser, with certificate to keep insurance companies happy.


Overall, this is a very clean, 100% reliable and well looked after R32 road car that is in the best colour. It has a superb spec, some nice expensive split rim wheels and is ready to drift, whilst still being clean, complete and comfortable.

Looks amazing, very aggressive stance, everyone thinks it's a GTR...

Handles and drifts incredibley well. Very easy, fast and controllable. The superb suspension set-up and 2-way LSD makes the absolute most of it's stock 215 horsepower. And keeps reliability 100%.

In it's current tune, this R32 can do it all - fast road, drift and track work.

At last you have seen the light Jimmy boy.
Cracking looking car mate, but as said before, just nip outside and whip the gtr badge off .

Nice buy mate.

[Ben]

Jamie you have chosen a very nice looking GTS-T there mate - looks to have some choice parts fitted, well done mate.

Now take it easy with it... from the fact that Paul knows the seller I'd be guessing he can actually drift .. so don't bin the bloody thing on the way home .

Looking forward to seeing it mate.
