Ok, so as most of you know my IS is heading to the big scrappy in the sky. So the hunt was on for a new car. I wanted a bit of a drift slag, so RWD, turbo and jap were all musts! I looked into Supras, Soarers, Silvias, through to RX7's. But eventually I settled on this.....

I was told she is running roughly 380bhp, but after driving her about for the day I reckon it probably more like 320-340bhp. Will need to get her on a rolling road to find out!
There is still plenty to get my teeth into, the rear arches are on their way out so I need to get them cut out. Perfect excuse to fit some wideass rear overfenders.
The wheels need a good refurb, just need to decide on a colour.
Then I need to revert to type and get her sat on the floor, but not too low
Oh, and get rid if the black bonnet!
It's safe to say I am pretty chuffed, she pulls like a train, and the sound is amazing! I have some awesome plans, so watch this space!
Looks awesome mate I love r32's they look do much tougher than the other skylines
I'm selling my wheels if your interested they've it a nice bit of dish and would suit it nicely there, in the for sale section
Nice mate!
That's a nice looking motor and a good long list of mods . Will be good to see what else you do to it !!
Awesome Posty! enjoy
Gotta love r32's. Wouldn't mind getting 1 as a plaything lol
