Hey all,

I've been reading the forums for tips and advice over the last few months and have finally become a member of the GTR family purchasing my first Skyline. Currently located in Adelaide, i have just purchased a 1995 GTR V-Spec with 75 000km and with almost no modifications. I am constantly checking this site for information in regards to what the next steps could be in maintaining the wonderful car as original as possible, however i have been told that the need for more power will start to come and modifications will "need" to be done in due time.

I only have the pictures that were available prior to sale however will get more up with time. The only current modifications are twin mushroom filters, 4" turbo-back exhaust, 19" wheels and Remote central locking / alarm system. I have ordered any missing badges / decals for the car (including the V-Spec decal that is missing) and an original GTR33 key as a start to try bring it back to original look. Will slowly start to look at getting the original GTR wheels as will help give the car the original feel.

Hopefully I will be able to come out to a couple of the SA cruises and continue to learn from the helpful people on this site as I am still somewhat of a beginner in car-related things.

Thanks for the help so far,

Adrian

Thanks Lewis,

I'll certainly be looking at coming to a vilies friday as I'm certain more experienced skyline owners can help me figure out what my car has / doesn't have on it.

Will post in SA section once car is properly serviced and good to go, Until then I'll try to drive the Mazda as much as possible.

Thanks,

Adrian

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
