He is a BIG Nissan afficianato (sp?). He's always wanted one and IMO, I like the R32's better than most Skylines.

The only mods that I know of so far is that it has a MINE'S ECU and has nice Tein coilover suspension and bits.

He has RB26 plans for it so I'll keep you guys updated as the project unfolds.

He just put new wheels on it and gave it its much needed bath. Look for a photoshoot soon...

In the meantime, here it is the night it arrived...

Nice. Looks like it has been taken well care of, the engine shows some wear but it's clean.

I have never liked the huge muffler though, I would go with something a little more subtle and not so "HEY RICE RICE". I know, a skyline or r32 is hardly a ricer, but man those bug mufflers look crappy :(

I'm sure he'll ditch the muffler for something more newer and better looking but as far as size, these cars when modding a RB26 need a min. of 4" exhaust to make some awesome power.

My buddies 500+whp teg currently has 5" exhaust....

That's a nice looking car. I LOVE dark silver. I think that's what it is. And yea different exhaust would make it even hotter. Good for him!

RHD legal? Yes you can drive RHD vehicles here.

Ther car itself isn't legal nor is going to be registered.

Not my pics but at least he got it cleaned up and now matching and much better looking wheels. He and I have both been too busy over the holiday to set up a shoot but it will come soon...

I don't knonw why they don't let those cars in. My guess would be emissions and the fact people don't normally drive RHD vehicles so maybe they consider it dangerous. Idunno :o

deifinately needs paint. that gray is just not doing the car justice.

Yea,nice car! Needs some blue paint though =) But i imagine that RHD is gonna get some CRAZY looks from people. Okay i have a totally noob question. Is that particular skyline turbo? I heard that they had twinturbo'd inline 6 cyclinders but i honestly have no idea because i have never seen/heard one in person.

Well here any vehicle imported must be 10 years old [perhaps 15] before it can be legally registered. And it has to pass emissions/safety checks/noise level[hehe, no straight pipes, better put a muffler on for that!]. One of those reasons can be why it isn't legal. Then again, that is just here, could be way different down in the states.
