Tuf R32

[abu]

Hey guys

I'm pretty bored at the moment, and don't know what else to do so I thought I'd post a few pictures and a quick write up of my car up on the forums.

My cousin imports through contacts in Japan, so we started looking for an R32 for me, couldn't find much at the start. All the usual black with minor mods, then this silver one popped up and I just had to have it!

Its a 93 Silver R32 GTST. It arrived fresh from Japan on Friday 27th July and was ready to pick up on Wednesday 8th of August.

Here is how it looked in the mechanical inspection pictures from Japan.

As you can see by the pictures it was pretty clean and everything looked fine so I went a head with the purchase.

Mods included;

Lowered Springs & after market shocks

3" CAT back exhaust with twin cannons

GTR Front

Side skirts

Apexi Power intake

Greddy gear knob

ADVAN Super Racing 17" wheels

Nothing over the top, but really clean and well looked after, so I was happy with what it had.

The day I picked it up, stopped by a friends place in Richmond and we headed down a local park and took a few pictures, his red very tough FC and my R32. They look pretty tough together!

Bought it home and gave it a quick wash and took it for another spin! Couldn't be happier with it!

Later that night I put in a GTR fuel pump and left it as it was.

Next day I got to work and installed some TEIN Flex coilovers and an AEPXi EL2 boost gauge.

I adjusted the coilovers to a nice ride height and damper and ended being very pleased with the end result. It is a little low I know, but the riding and handling is awesome!

Full detail inside and out, and it came up looking absolutely mint. :sorcerer:

Going for compliance soon, then after that goes on the front mount intercooler kit, up the boost and put my APEXi SAFC II in and give it a quick tune.

More of a weekend car, don't want any serious power out of it, more response and handling. Will get some interior pictures when I get a new digital camera!

Anyways, here are the most recent pictures of it, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you guys like it..

The R33 in the pictures in my cousins, TAXI33 is his forum name.. They look happy together

Hey

Its just stock with CAT back exhaust and pod filter, running standard boost, so not much more if any more than stock power man.

Thanks for that. I agree, the kit and wheels make it what it is!

That green stuff is when they have the car on the ship, they put streamer/ribbons on each side, on the mirrors. I am assuming its so they know where the widest point of the car is?

Thanks,

No way man.. Rims and exhaust make it unique and different. Thats what makes it look tough..

Different rims and single exhaust will make it like all the other boring R32s on the road! I might as well just paint it black and raise it while I'm there!!..

Thanks,

Abu
