Hi, The engine bay of my 32 GTR always had this dull and dirt-like colour to it since I bought it. I shrugged it off but its been a while so I figured its time to fix it. The car is in its factory colour (KL0 - Spark Silver Metallic) but the engine bay looks "dirty" and I have seen on other 32's which are this colour which have a sort of whitish-grey engine bay. I'm pretty sure the car hasn't been resprayed and the VIN matches that of a KL0 car so I think it just needs a clean. If this is the case, how should I best go about it because I don't want to damage the original paint underneath and just clean away the top layer given that's what needs to be done. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi Guys, It's been a while, I am a Kiwi who moved over to Japan a few years back and have settled in Tokyo. I have always loved the R32, have owned a couple of GTST's before and since I am in Japan now, decided to go for gold and score the best possible BNR32 I can get my hands on. The car arrived on a truck a few days back and gotta say, as it is my dream car, no words can explain my joy at the moment, Nismo and Nissan have been on the ball resupplying the parts for the R32, and I have no shortage of parts supply if something needs attention for now... I guess that is one of the advantages of living here, During the whole purchasing ordeal, there has been a lot of processes involved and Japan in my opinion, has their way of doing things, so no let's wing it attitude sits in well with these folks lol. It took a couple of weeks to get the Japanese version of WOF called "Shaken" but overall, besides the RIDICULOUS parking costs, all was pretty smooth. I miss NZ where you can just park on your own driveway, In Tokyo, you will be doing well if you find one below $300 per month. Now Let's Talk about the car, Pretty standard, nothing in the engines has been touched, currently tuned to 380ps. Model 1991 Skyline GTR R32 BNR32 Milage: 47000km Engine: Stock Turbo: Twin HKS 2510, HKS turbine outlet Cooling: ARC intercooler, HKS IC piping kit, Intake: ARC Super Induction box Exhaust: Apex front pipe, Apex RS muffler, Suspension / Drivetrain: HKS reinforced clutch (I think it's a twin push type early model, absolute B**itch to drive in in traffic, real narrow biting point and very sensitive), Ohlins suspension, Tein pillow ball tension rod Brakes: Winmax brake pads Electrical: HKS EVC5, Tomei Speedometer, Trust gauges in the glovebox, Defi Boost gauge on Steering wheel column Will provide pics soon Interior: Nismo seat covers, Italvolanti steering wheel Wheel: Volkracing CE28N 8.5X17 +22 , Tires: Dunlop Direzza Z3 255-40-17 I may have missed something but this is the current status of the car. I don't plan to go tracking but want to escape the city on the weekends to explore the less populated areas of Japan, I will probably be on the sensible side when it comes to driving on foreign lands. I absolutely love the car after taking it out on the highway, it was an absolute pleasure to dive, the sound, the pull everything was better than I hoped. I should be posting the slight issue on another section but as I have your attention, I wished to ask you guys quickly. On the way back, from the very awesome drive, some car far ahead had an accident in the tunnel and I ended up being stuck in heavy traffic, I have a clutch setup which seems to be one of the worst most sensitive (only on 1st year, either from standstill, or rolling very slowly), unforgiving setups I have ever driven, NOT fun stuck in traffic jam for an hour, If you guys have any suggestions for a street usable/friendly clutch ideas, please feel free to let me now, something that does not give you a dead leg even if you are stuck behind traffic, and something that allows a smoother start on 1st gear, right now, I have to give it gas about 2-3000rpm and release the clutch very very gently or the ting just tries to launch and hop etc. I have heard the Nismo twin plate? ones were good, but not sure it will be better than my old HKS setup and in what way, my one feels very sensitive (narrow biting point if that makes sense) they can be a pain to drive in traffic etc.. Anyways, Thank you for reading my post and I wish to catch up with any GTR owners based in Tokyo! hit me up if you are around.

Hi people, I have an R32 GTR that has been sitting since 2006. I’m about to start a resto on it. The panel where the blue I.D tag and the factory stamped vin will need to be replaced due to rust. The new panel will not have the vin stamp in it, will this cause issue with getting it rego again. I have all the sales invoices and old rego papers for it in my name.

Hi guys Some knob has stolen parts from my Gtr, and was nice enough to cut the wiring out rather than unplug things. Can some kind soul out there please take a good photo of the plug for the drivers side power window plug (blue one) so I can see which wire should go where? They also cut out the A/c controls but I haven't found a replacement yet. Any help appreciated

Up for my sale is my R34 gtr front seats only (series 1). I was going to hold on to it but may as well let some one else buy it and enjoy it. Driver's seat has the usual bolster wear and small blemish in fabric as you would expect for the age of the seats. These seats are getting harder to buy and is priced accordingly. In no rush to sell. If I don't get the amount I want I will keep it $7800 Located in Liverpool NSW Postage can be arranged for interstate buyers at a cost. Contact 0402163473
