KP's Dad's Nissan Skyline [R32 GTST]
KP's Dad's Nissan Skyline [R32 GTST]
My involvement with cars goes beyond just my Corolla, I have to be the home mechanic for other cars too and if I remember correctly, the last 5 cars that my dad has purchased, were purchased through my directions. :laugh:
Our second to latest addition to the family is his R32 GTST Skyline.
We picked her up for £3995 and being a 2008 Japanese import you'd expect her to be in a bit of a state.. you'd be wrong
well, slightly![[Image: 7d2693a4.jpg]](http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/KPARRIS-JONES/7d2693a4.jpg)

She does have a little bit of work that needs to be done, the whole interior is ****, honestly she needs to be totally retrimmed which has been scheduled for the coming years but not any time soon.
The Side-Skirts and Spoiler need a repaint, and the N/S Rear Quarter needs mop and polishing because the previous shop seems to have sprayed it and just rolled it out without a good polish :Shooting:
That aside, she is one very neat car, and it will cost £1000 to have her brought back up to a factory finish including having a front wing resprayed due to micro blisters, the rear polished and the skirts and spoiler sprayed again. Not half bad.
As for mods she has:
*Meister R Fully Adjustable Coilovers
*ROTA Cup Alloys
*Toyo T1R Tyres
*HKS SSQV Blow-Off Valve
*HKS Full Titanium System from Turbo back
*Turbo Timer
Other than that she is unmolested but such good fun!
I will keep you updated with this one, my first small task is to replace the Passenger Front Belt Spacer as the old one was lost by the previous owner which leaves it working as a choke not a seat belt.

I did wander about the Clio! Only fully paid up Outlaws get an EDIT button, and even then, it's only active for about 10mins after posting.
PM one of the mods (Rabster, Sparkystav, Bandit, Lexusboy, etc.) and they can edit your original post for you, (and remove your correction post.)
