Hello i am Mike, i am 19 years and coming from the Netherlands, and i am the proud owner of a 1991 red r32 gtst, i like gaming ofcourse :P, and watching way to much Anime, further do i like to be busy with cars ( especially JDM ones and the r32 as my all time favorite :) ) So you can guess that buying one was a dream come true for me.

But stil did i buy it with some work to be done to get it on the road again ( dutch rules once a year youre car has a test if everything is allright, I think youre country has that to right)

If you have questions ask them :P,

So here some pictures

This is how the car was 2 years ago nothing changed except that some moron owned it which f**ked the car more up then fixing it.

My family is in Zwolle, Uncle and his wife and 3 cousins.

Visited them in 2009, was such a rad time.

My Opa lived in a place I can't spell... Leeuwarden sounds familiar... There were canals there if that helps! Ahahaha.

Can honestly say I didn't see one skyline over there..

btw: there arent many skylines driving in the winter here, thats because they throw salt on the road if it begins to freeze.

run exhaust straight onto ground, melt ice.

if salted, just hose it down underneath when you get home.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
