[TunerTrader.com]

Hey guys,

We just imported an All original R32 NISMO Skyline GT-R S-tune, only 500 made. The car is mint! the engine has been tweaked by the guys at NISMO Japan and is seeing around 430 horses... The car is currently in the development stage as we speak, without wasting anytime.. we are aiming towards 700 horse in the next few months, if not more :clap: ... We'll update everyone with videos and photo's! this is gonna be a crazy fun project!

wow you guys are going to ruin a work or art...why didnt you guys just get a stock r32 gtr and build the enigne on that...this cars a collectible

[Supreme]

Ya, Id leave it alone, rims at most and keep the ones it has in plastic at all times. Congrats though, its badass.

[TheSnail]

Nice

On a buisness standpoint:
Can you ship one of your GTRs to the US (if so how much is shipping). Also, can I drive up there, pick up the bc registered car and cross the border with out any issues?

[RiversideS13]

it was 430 reliable whp that now you gonna ruin the nice set up...... +1 for please leave it alone.

but i kinda smell spam here...not too sure

[Yoshi]

so true... why do you want to ruin a piece of GT-R history???

You should aquire a standard GT-R and mod it to 700+

From a fan/historic standpoint: with both cars it's win win
From a business standpoint: if you DO get your 700 out of another GTR, then you can compare your tuning to standard Nismo stuff with your customers, should be a longrun plus.

...and everyone is happy

[Revolver Ocelot]

Yea, i say leave it in your shops display area if you have one? And get a standard Gt-R and build the hell out of it. But, dam that is a beautiful machine.

[TougeRacing]

sweet riiiiiiide. how much u guys pay for it?

[kazuo]

+1 for leave it alone.

It's LEGAL to bring '89 GTRs into Canadia now.. so just ruin one of those instead of ruining a rare piece.

Yay America Junior! ;p

[SilviaNinja240]

cool car
G'luck with your plans for the car.

[TunerTrader.com]

Alot of people come to Canada and purchase skylines and drive it back down to the border. The skyline is insured under as a 1989 240sx LOL... insurance is insanely cheap.

The vehicle will only be modified with reputable JDM parts. HKS Hiper Max coilovers on its way already... yes its a limited edition, but i believe if done right.. it doesnt matter.. I will keep everyone posted, so you guys can see the process of the transformation... so whatever you guys dissaprove, you can throw some input... so we'll do this skyline up right!

[MakotoS13]

the point with valuable cars is to keep them stock and mint. tracking a car that is one of 500 isn't too great especially if you're drifting it and modding it to the hilt is even more retarded.

thats like putting a body kit on a mint condition all original ferrari or sumthin. okay, maybe not a ferrari but something rare and and that will appreciate over time due to that rarity.

[wootwoot]

Giving it a bit more power isnt going to hurt it at all as long as you follow the general design philosophy. I would still drive it first and then fix whatever was insufficent compared to just buying parts immediately. I also doubt people drift in AWD cars usually =P

[TunerTrader.com]

Haha this car isn't going sideways... exterior wise, you not gonna see much difference... maybe a 3D GT wing, Work S1 3 PC WHEELS... most work will be the suspension and engine..

Once again, if the car is done up clean and simple.. its gonna be good.. can't compare a NISMO R32 to a Enzo Ferrari... different class.

[slide_or_die]

+1 for no mods
that car is reaaaallllyyy sweet, but its a work of Nismo art

[Revolver Ocelot]

Does Gt wing mean what i think it means. Please god dont put an ugly airplane spoiler on that beautiful piece of history.

[MakotoS13]

dude, he's from a site called tunertrader.com, of course he's gonna screw up a perfectly mint decklid with a POS ricer wing.

[smellslikecurry]

please leave it untoucheddddddd or sell it to someone and buy a stock r32

lol

[freejus]

Okay okay, here goes one of my very few posts in a thread that's not in the classifieds. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not do anything to that car. Seriously. What are you thinking? Get a gtr with a blown motor and show that your company can build a motor AND make it reliable to 700 hp. But don't destroy a work of art. Especially an r32. Go fuck up an r34 if you have to do it to a skyline. That car will be worth a good chunk more than you paid for it in about 15 years or whenever those cars will be considered vintage.

[Phlip]

I am agreeing with the "leave it virgin" crowd, for the very same reasons, you have a piece of history on your hands, one that will potentially be VERY valuable not too far down the road. There is NO need to bastardize that history in favor of modifying that car. Get another, build IT up, hell build it with similar parts and make it cosmetically identical, but PLEASE don't screw yourself by modding this one if it is as authentic as you say it is.

[NZO]

Why would you use a limited edition car when there are 200000 other r32s you could use instead of ruining this one. This is a sad day.

[drift freaq]

man I have to agree with everyone else. That car is already a collectors item, do not, repeat do not, screw it up!! If you guys fuck it up like your planning I think a lot of people in the community will not want to do business with you. With the fact that you guys get GTR's all the time why touch a pristine peace of history that you have. Put in your showroom. Sell it to a collector for insane money but don't go modding something that is perfect and collectable already.

P.S. posting from the Heart of the U.S. Chicago!!

[FRpilot]

think of it in terms of baseball cards or action figures as collectable items... you dont play with them and destroy their value as collectables.. you can probably sell it for a lot in a few years like everyone is saying. but you can do what you please. its your car.

besides, if you do mod it, it wont be mint anymore. you can call it a nismo r32 skyline, but like action figures its been played with.. so its not considered mint anymore..

have you watched 40yr old virgin? its like playing with one of his collectable action figures.. like iron man.. it was hard for him to not open it and play with it when he was in 2nd grade, but in the end it was worth like 10k (according to the movie).

[Irukandji]

:-(

why ruin a perfectly balanced and engineered piece of machinery?

please dont tell me this car will be a track/drag whore...

sad to see such a nice car get hacked apart

[EchoOfSilence]

Sorry guy, but I'm gonna have to agree. out of 500, that thing's a collector's car that should be kept mint in my opinion. But then again some people build GT500's, but others just make clones.
Anyway, I say leave it alone, since Nismo itself tuned it, it's sorta respectful to. Build another man. please.

[TurDz]

As the 1 million other people who've posted or viewed this thread, I have to agree also.

Please do not mod this car.

I think I can speak for the Zilvia community when I say that we like to have very functional modifications and cars, and stray away from show cars or "garage queens." In this rare case though, you really do have an ultra-rare car, and this R32 is destined to be a great representation of Nissan's heritage of skylines.

It's your choice, but I would definately be disappointed if this car turned out to be like all of the other 600+ hp "cleanly modified" cars.

i felt bad about modifying my 10th anniversary edition RX-7 (1500 made) but it was crashed twice and already had aftermarket suspension, so fuck it.

if it had been all stock and no crashes, i wouldn't have modified it. leave it alone. don't even drive it. get another one.

haha, good reasoning

[TokyoNights]

How about who gives a fuck, its only a car.
Modd it, smash it, have fun with it.
In the end well all be dead and it wont even matter
I hate it when people buy rare cars and then garage them for their whole lives, beat on it like its ment to be beat on!
