Hello from central Kansas!!

Hello everyone!! I finally got myself a skyline which has been a dream car of mine for most of my life. I just got a 1992 Skyline R32 GTS-T Type M. It was kind of a show car and had a lot of things done to it but I don’t think a lot was done correctly. So me being the 25+ year technician, I am going through everything in this car to get it running and driving amazing. I don’t ask a lot of questions because I research the heck out of everything and eventually find an answer. However, if I absolutely cannot find an answer I will call upon all of you experts to assist me please. Let me know if you have any questions or whatever.

Welcome to SAU. You GTS looks really neat. Not to sure about the purple nine bay but the body looks clean as. Cont on the purchase it’s a great feeling getting your dream car??

[BSpilner]

Thanks Matty! Yeah I like the purple engine bay but it doesn’t go with the red color the car currently is, I will agree with you on that. She will need a new paint job eventually because there are a lot of blemishes, body kit cracks, and other things I see as a former auto body technician that isn’t noticeable in the picture. My girlfriend really loves that purple metallic so I was considering repainting the whole car that color then the engine bay will match the car. Possibly adding some carbon fiber accents, hood, trunk, and new taller spoiler.

Welcome to SAU. I like your car, it's cool you got your dream car. I remember the feeling. I go out and stare at my car. You may find you lose hours in your garage doing the same.

I really like your mirrors though. I'd kill for a set of Ganadors. Keep us up to date with your adventure. I like seeing what owners do with their cars.

Hi Steve85,

Thanks! Yeah I do get lost in time in the garage working on it and staring at it ha ha! As for the mirrors, I think they look great but they aren’t very functional because I can’t see much in them. I mirror part itself is really small.

Hi PranK,

I have some pics of her past life but no more that I have taken yet. I’m currently in the process of making her more functional and drivable. It has really over stretched tires on it right now and you can see in my picture that I posted I already raised up the ride height because it was extremely slammed and tucked. The tires are 225/40/18 on 10.5 inch wide wheels. I’m going to put 275/40/18’s on it soon. Anyway, here’s a couple pics of her past life.

I had to look them up and I found them. All it gives me is the wheel bolt pattern, and the width of the rim depending on how big the lip is. I believe I have the 10 inch wide wheels, I haven't measured yet. I will when my new tires get here though. I have attached a screenshot of them, they are on vrwheels.com and that is as much as I know right now. Well I also know that they are not cheap wheels ha ha!
