My R32 Skyline Build-up


Recommended Posts

Thought I’d make a contribution to this thread since I mainly whore the Classifieds threads.

My name is Dave and I'm from Sydney. I have previously owned half a dozen corolla's whilst on my P's, and then went to the darkside and owned an FC RX7 which was reasonably “sex spec” to say the least. I sold it due to costs of running it daily were hurting my wallet. Now the Nissan bug has bitten me...

During May this year, after I sold my RX7 I bought this R32 of a mate of mine for a price I couldn’t refuse, it was reasonably stock and I had no real intentions at first to mod..

But then I had a few setbacks so took it off the road..

A little over a month ago I bought another R32 from Wagga Wagga to strip down, I sold the rolling shell to a mate of mine and kept everything else.

And amongst some of the bolt-on goodies I removed off the maroon R32, I decided since my blue R32 is currently off the road awaiting for exterior work to commence why not kill two birds with one stone and put all the bolt on goodies from the maroon car into the blue car.

My plans for the R32 are to put all the bolt-on mods (consisting of the Garrett GT3540 Turbo, front mount, exhaust, microtech ecu…. The list goes on..) from the maroon skyline onto the blue one and then once the car is drive-able again have the car resprayed (still un-decided on what color to have done) and then possibly sell the white 18’s to fund a different set of wheels.

When the time comes to go ahead with the respray I'm going to leave the engine bay as it is and then have it resprayed later on in the future when I have acquired more knowledge of going down the path of doing the RB26/30 conversion.
