i like the fact the my 32gts-t was neva sold here. so it feels like i have sumthin special on the rd. i see only a few r32's a week, which is great, i prefer them to be rare. the power is excellent, its easy to extract more power, handles awesome, great sound, and they look tuff.

My sisters mate brought one over, uncomplied. I was a v8 lover at this stage and thats the day that changed. He took me for a thrash, come flying sideways thru a roundabout and hit a brand new vt side on completly f**king the vt.

Pretty serious accident.

Wanted one ever since.

i originally had a liking for VL turbos and found out about RB engines (was 16-17 at the time) and found what they came out of. Finally went for a ride in sciby's and wnated one since :laugh:

plus, my cousin took me for a drive in his back in 95............. I nearly came in my pants.

so I got one 3yrs ago.

uhhh 95? do u mean it was a 95 model? i have never heard of sum1 having an import till like the late 90's and that would have been a near new skyline too.. so he must have paid a small fortune for the thing back then?

well anyway my love started with gran turismo & my neighbours obsession with the r33 gt-r (at the time the latest) and have loved gt-r's ever since. When the 34 came out they just looked so fken incredible i had to have one.

I got mine because I've always been interested in owning something that differs from the everyday. That's why I have only ever owned imports. I chose a skyline because I liked the styling.

My father was the same, except he never got into the Japanese import scene. He has owned a couple of English imports over the years.

I'm already planning on a 2001+ Cima for my next car!

I've owned big blocks, rotaries, Oz sixes and nothing comes close to the handling, the revy power delivery, the cost of ...everything, the technical complexity, the use of japlish as a viable language in my home and the cop baiting presence of my R32 GT-R ;)

Plus I'm old and i remember watching these things dessimate the field at bathurst...and everywhere else

Always loved the shape, wanted another turbo car - had a 180sx, s4 rx7 & sr20det scorpion previously

Bang for your buck was high on the list, and to me its one of the most practical coupes around

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
