-✔ Alright , another weekend has passed and it's time for another one of these small updates. So , I can say that owning a new car has really had an impact on me , which is good ! I've driven the R32 around town and it's performing really well in pretty much any condition , but in the previous update I feel like I didn't do a proper presentation of it , so that's a subject that I'm gonna talk about today. Anyway , let's move to the R32. ✔-
-✔ So , as I said in the previous update , I got an R32 GTST , and I cannot lie , it looks really great. It's a November 1994 R32 Skyline GTST and has 212.000 kilometers. It has been driven quite a lot , but at least it's a late model R32. The R32 was made between August 1989 and November 1994 , so that's why it's a late model. It has a clean title , so it was never crashed which is really good , and the overall condition is pretty much mint. It had only one owner and he has been driving it since he got it , so it's well maintained , but it also has quite a lot of kilometers on the odometer. The paint is in mint condition and the fitment with these LMGT-4 rims is pretty solid. So , because it's an GTST , under the hood it has the RB20DET , which is still going strong. As you can see , it also has a Nismo intercooler like the one on my R33 , and man , it makes the front look 10 times better. I really liked this car because it was already somewhat modified car , and it had some things on it that I would've put on if it was stock. I stayed away from stock R32s because they were usually more expensive than already used ones , and as you already know , the reason of why I bought the R32 was because I wanted a new daily car , but I'll talk more about the daily car subject later in the update. Power wise , the RB20 is bone stock besides the intercooler , which is a somewhat good thing , because I won't really modify the engine of this thing ( I think... ). The car is definitely reliable , and has a small engine , which is good for daily driving. I remember when I used the R33 as a daily car for a while and man , that thing drinks like an alcoholic , but I guess you gotta feed the engine what it needs in order to output the 666 horses ! The rear is also really clean , which reminds me that the trunk is clean on this thing ! No badges or anything , it's just clean ! I like it , but I think I might have to get some badges for the trunk though , you never know what this thing is because the front looks like a GTR but it's actually not , and the only evidence of it being a GTST is under the hood. I was really thinking about changing the taillights to some more attractive ones , but for now I don't think it's needed. What the rear needs is a wing , because the rear of Skylines look really "bald" without any spoilers , so I'll get a stock GTR wing if I can find one. The sideskirts are also not OEM , and as far as I am concerned , I have no clue what they are , but they look good , too bad there's no evidence of what brand made them , maybe some of you guys might recognize them. So , the exterior needs some work , but I'll get to it eventually. ✔-
-✔ Oh man , I really really like these LMGT-4s. They're in mint condition which is amazing , and the logos aren't faded or scratched or anything like that , and you can see that they've been taken care of , but sadly these won't remain on the R32. The tyres are also in good condition , which is good. I'll be switching the rims to some more "hotboi"/"classy" ones , because I'm going to get bags for this thing and it's gonna be hella stanced ! I really don't want to go static with my cars because driving a really low car is a pain in the ass so why not get bags ? They can look good while the car is not moving and perform really well and look good when you're driving the car , so to me , that is the logical answer to this build. I'm gonna order the bags and wheels this week after I sort some things out which may be concerning , but to be honest , right now I really don't know what Imma do , 'cuz it's something serious ( more on that later ) but either way , I think I'm gonna buy some 3 piece wheels from HRE or something and some AirLift bags to get that really nice fitment. HRE makes some really nice 3 piece wheels , but they're kinda expensive , and that's why I've set my eyes on the prize of the ROTM. They're giving away a set of HRE 501 18" rims and I really wanna save some money and win them , but it looks like there's some solid competition coming. Mackay is probably gonna enter and there's a chance that Lagano might enter as well , so I'm kinda pumped up about the ROTM. I've really set my eyes on the prize and I must get them , but it's up to you guys ! ( Don't forget to vote for me in ROTM ! The R33 is sick and I know all of you like it so make me a favor and vote for me ? Okay ? Kthxbye ! ) The car is currently running stock suspension and brakes , but that'll change soon , but as far as I'm concerned , I think I won't change the brakes , because they don't need to be changed. It would be a waste of money. I'll repaint the R32 soon and the calipers are also gonna get repainted too , so until then , I wanna see if you guys can guess what color it'll be ! This car is gonna be pretty much a showcar but at the same time , a daily driver so I really need to make it look phenomenal. Just you guys wait , the R32 is gonna be purely amazing ! ✔-
-✔ Interior wise , here's where "the beans" are. It currently has a Sparco Evo 2 seat on the driver side , and a Sparco Evo 1 on the passenger side , and I can tell you guys for sure that the seats are really really comfy , despite them being bucket seats. I really like a nice , clean , and comfy seat ! I've driven this thing around the wangan for a couple of hours to see how it performs and I didn't get any back pain from the seat , which is a really good thing in my book. Comfort bucket seats are my thing , and having a really light , comfortable seat is unbeatable. If this car came with the stock seats , I would've probably reupholstered them , which is a thing that I might actually do on the Z ! Stock seats are always comfy , and why not make them even better ? I didn't get any new seats for the Z yet so I'm probably going to take them to a reupholstery soon , just stay stoked on that , they'll come out amazing ! Anyway , the Nardi wheel is really nice and it's still in really nice condition after so much driving , but I think it was changed recently , because there's no way a wheel like this doesn't degrade after so many kilometers. It also has a bolt-on rollcage which I guess it's somewhat good ? I don't see why the previous owner installed something like this when he could've got a custom rollcage done , but maybe he wanted to turn this thing into a track car , who knows ? Personally , I wouldn't use a bolt-on rollcage , but I'll leave it in for the sake of "being more safe" and "having a stiffer chassis". The dashboard is not cracked , it's in really good condition actually. All the gauges are working , the AC is working as well ( which is a must have , especially because it's so hot out here ) and the interior is very well taken care of. The back seat is also still in which is great , because having a daily car without back seats is just a bad thing. The shifter feels really great too and it doesn't have too much play which is perfect. The handbrake works too , which I guess it's good , though I don't think I'll be using it as a drift stick any time soon. I should probably get some donuts done in this thing before it leaves for paint , 'cuz as you know , GTSTs are RWD so y'all know what RWD cars are good for , right ? The carpet is also really clean , which saves me from cleaning this car up for a while. It'll eventually have to get cleaned , but for now , there's no need for that. I need to get some floor mats for this thing though , maybe my boy Radcoon could hook me up with some Nismo floor mats if he manages to find any. I'll hit him up soon to see if he could maybe find some for me. I'm telling you guys , this thing will be the perfect daily car once I'm done with it ! I can't wait to get to work on it ! ✔-
-✔ Now , here's the "big deal". I know some of you keep asking yourselves :"Where's the Supra ? What the hell happened to it?" and my answer to that is : Absolutely nothing. I haven't driven that car in a long while and it has been just collecting dust and occupying space at the shop , and you know what happens to cars that do that , don't you guys ? THEY GET CRUSHED ! Nah , just kidding , I'd never crush a Supra , let alone even crash one , but for real , I just don't see a point in owning this car anymore. I got all of these other awesome cars that I can use as daily cars , and I've recently bought another daily car , so all of these reasons defeats any reason on why I should keep the Supra. Yes , I know , it's something different , but I don't want to mod it anymore. It's perfect as it is right now and personally , I wouldn't mod a Supra like I did to the R33 , it just doesn't make sense to me , and I've been contemplating if I should sell it or not. If any of you are interested in owning a 4th gen Supra , hit me up and we'll talk. I just dunno , maybe Mackay could find me a good offer for this thing , and I know that Mackay works with some russian guys , so they might want a Supra in the future , who knows ? But yeah , I don't want to do anything else to this thing , it's perfect as it sits and it has been pretty much restored to the max at this point. As I said , if you want it , hit me up. I was thinking about selling this thing in the US because they pay big money for Supras like this , and I could make a really fat profit out of it , but we'll see. If you guys want a full rundown of how I restored and what did I replace and install to this thing , hit me up in the PMs. I can't count the times I've said that I'll never sell this car and here I am , contemplating if I should pull the trigger or not. This is the car that pretty much started the whole "own your JDM supercar" dream , and man , I've surpassed that point a long time ago ! I would've never thought I would own these cars , and here I am , owning 4 famous JDM cars , the R33 , R32 , Z32 and JZA80. Maybe I could finally complete my goal by selling this thing , and if you don't already know what I'm talking about , you probably should've realised by now. I need to own a legitimate R34 , and no , I don't think the ER counts , because it was a four-door , but I think I might just do it for the memes and get an R34 GTT , because I'm starting to be a collector when it comes to owning a non-GTR Skyline lmao ! But for real , the R34 GTR is still my ultimate dream car , and I won't give up until I have it , so yeah , I'll get there eventually I hope. I need to get myself that R34 before R's meeting , which is coming up really quick , but man , if I'd somehow manage to get all of my R's at the meet that would be the sickest thing ever. I'm still waiting for that day when I'll own the R32 , R33 and R34 at the same time , and it might happen , that really depends if the Supra gets sold , but anyway , if you guys think that I shouldn't sell the Supra , please give me a reason , I've ran out of ideas for it and I wanna keep it as it is , but the problem is that I don't use it anymore so yeah , I want to make money off of it , not spend more on it , and right now , I'm on a tight budget because of the R32 , but hey , things that are destined to happen have to happen so yeah , be the luck one and buy my Supra ! ✔-
-✔ Anyways , that would be all for this "small" update. Things are changing and they're changing to the better I feel , and sometimes you just gotta make sacrifices to go forward in life , towards your goal. I'm kinda sad that I'm thinking about doing such thing to my precious Supra , but heck , I've become such a Nissan guy since I've moved to Osaka and I'm really happy to say that ! I feel like I've finally found the one and only car brand that suits me the best and yeah , I still love Toyota , Mazda , Subaru , Mitsubishi and countless other brands out there , but at the end , Nissan is for me. I am one with the Nissan and Nissan is one with me. So yeah guys , it all depends on you if I should sell the Supra , so go ahead and knock some sense into me and lighten me up with some solid reasons ! Anyway , I'll see you guys in the next update , and of course , over here on this forum ! I'm online all the time so if you wanna talk with me , just shoot over a PM to me and I'll get to you as soon as possible ! Godspeed homies ! 😉 ✔-
