R32 Skyline
Well, I did it. I got rid of the land boat for this thing.

I call it "Vader" because it is black and I plan to put black wheels on it and tint it as dark as I can. Also because it lured me over to the dark side haha.

Specs.......

1993 Nissan Skyline R32 four door. 5 speed manual RB20DE.

Mods..

Close ratio gear box with beefed up internals.
5 lots of 1 ( what ever that means ) LSD
Cusco adjustable suspension front AND rear
Strut brace
16in alloys
Momo steering wheel
Big fuel pump
The filthist pod filter you have ever seen.....
Clutch doesn't feel standard. :hmmm:

Pros.

Everything is there, just needs a better engine and BOOST!!!!
Straight body
Black

Cons

Water leaking in where spoiler use to be...
Had to spend a few hours today fixing simple **** the old owner was too lazy to fix, like the door lock. WTF!!!
Its a slow 20DE
Has the gayest exhaust ever, sounds like a filthy runny fart
Everyone looks at me ( WTF its a filthy old skyline??? )
Coolant is orange
Body has done 400,000ks ( engine less )


List will surly be updated.

Future mods..

Zorst, engine, front mount, shiny stuff. You name it, it gone happen.

Your skyline has too many doors. :p

Yeah haha, well I did a straight swap for it and its everything I wanted. Not too many people keen to swap a Skyline for a commodore, but he wanted a daily he can tow his Hilux burnout ute with ( converted to 3.8 V6 )

I Just need the engine and it will be a weapon. After that is just brakes, better wheels and cosmetic ****.

I love r32's but why didn't you just get a rb20det skyline? Instead of swapping engines

Straight swap for Commodore. Didn't have to save money or borrow it. He had it at buy now of $4000, My commy was worth less than that....

I seen an opportunity so I took it. I miss my Commodore, but my mates are into RB power so its better having a car that fits in with theirs. Plus they are a wealth of knowledge and have plenty of spare parts.

Owell that's good mate, it's bloody nice but instead of an rb20det go for a rb25det or even better go rb30 block with rb26dett heads.

I wouldn't touch a 20Det mate haha, although I am disappointed because I picked up, no ****. A mint one for $50. Recent rebuild, but I sold it to a mate for the same price.

Would have gone well with the GTR turbo kit I have lol
