Hey From The Northern Beaches

[Gus_32]

Hey everyone,

After driving a commodore for the entirety of my provisional licence and hating auto i'm finally jumping into a skyline! This coming monday i'm going to be picking up a 1993 HCR32 GTS-T that's black in colour and has about 185000kms on the clock. My dream car is a gunmetal grey R32 GT-R but for now the GTS-T will do while i get used to a completely different drive (forced induction ) and until i can afford one!

I'm picking it up off a friends friend for a pretty good price and after driving it around the block last week a couple times all i can say is i had a grin from ear to ear.

I don't have any photos now but i plan to do a proper shoot of it very soon after i get it and clean it up.

So i'll give you the details!

The current owner bought it for one track day while his car was out of action and since then has been sitting in his driveway and before that it was sitting in a garage for a few years because the old owner had lost his licence.

The good:

- It's a skyline

- Disco Potato

- There's a few gauges

- EBC

- FMIC

- 5 Stud

- Interior is in good condition

- 3" from the Cat to a 4" tip

- Sitting on white 17" Enkei RP01s

- Sunroof

- BOV

- Got it for a good price

The Bad

- HICAS

- 2 slight rust spots around the sunroof

- No A/C

- No Rego

- Slight blemishes to the paint

- When shifting hard into second it sometimes crunches and doesn't go into gear

But the current owner says he can organise the blue slip so i'm not too worried. I might have to source a standard R32 GTS-T exhaust to pass emissions though but it's sitting on standard suspension and everything else is pretty much standard except for the turbo and the EBC so i don't think it should be a big problem.

My plans with it are to first tidy it up and have it looking nice and clean with minimal exterior mods. It's my first car that i'm really going to get my hands dirty with and i'm so excited. It's going to be a steep learning curve but i think it'll be a good introduction to the import life!

Ill start a build thread when i get the car!

Thanks for reading guys!

Hahaha that's not my driveway, it's the guy who I'm buying it off. Getting it this afternoon as well!

[Gus_32]

The car is now sitting in my garage.

Having another quick look over the A/C works so that's a plus and i've already ordered a HICAS lock bar off GKTECH.

It needs new tyres and a full service and that will be done within the next couple of weeks and then it's off to get blue slipped so it can be on the road within the month.

I'll start a build thread soon when i clean it up and take some more photos of it.

[Tai1or Made]

Then mow the lawn yeah?

[Gus_32]

It's next on my to do list.

[Tai1or Made]
