Lets billet all of the things!

Damn that's nice!

Well guys, Im getting a Beautiful 90' Gunmetal Grey R32 Nissan Skyline GTR!! I got approved to finance it through my bank, I'm soo thankful for this, this is a car I've wanted since I was a child. It's in Sanford, Florida right now so I'm most likely gonna have it shipped here where I live. I got it from a person who works up at Rivsu Imports, it was his personal car.

Absolutely beautiful. R33 to be legal soon.

That's awesome, congrats Mike! Admittedly I have been eying them up too. I have always wanted a Skyline

Oh wow!! Beautiful!!

Pretty sick. Buddy of mine has a r32 (unsure if he still has it), and one of his friends use to own a r33. It's a trip when you see them, especially VA of all places. I'll never forget he rolled up on me driving one day and beeped. At the time it looked like he was riding shotgun with a friend, until he passed me and I saw the taillights and realized it was him driving and I had just witnessed a r32 in person lol.

Nice the R32 has always been my favorite car.

Thank you guys!!

bit of an update for the billet intake manifold for the VR4, Here are a few pics of he last I saw getting ready to mount my throttle cable on it.

Awesome work.

Thank you sir!

This new shift boot should go nicely with the red stitching on the EVO 9 SE seats and this custom Galant VR4 shift knob that glows to the same OEM green like in the speedo and clock etc etc.

Man o man. I am liking where this is all going..

I second that!

Finally got my custom one off CNC billet DVDTFAB intake manifold! Not only is this the very first one of these ever made in nearly complete billet by CNC but it'll be the first time ever combined with the new 74mm Billet S90 Throttle body as well. I'll be using this with my new aluminum Rod 10-5-1 motor. Big thanks to Albert Raczynski of Machined Concepts for this one of a kind manifold.

That will be nice!!! Are you keeping the R32 as it is for now? You should start a build thread on that too, it would be interesting to see!

Start a build thread for it here on TGC? Lol I don't think they'd let me.

Sure they would. It's refreshing to see something else once in a while, especially something rare like an R32, and there's always something one can learn from other platforms.

I don't see the harm in it.

There should be exceptions made for gems like skylines, rx-7's and supra's.

Go for it. We all love cars!

Where would I do it on here?

Well the time for me getting my dream wheels (Work Meisters) on Samara is getting closer. Since the new wheels will be in the EVO X spec in order to later run EVO X brembos I'll need that size and offset. Only problem is that the car will need to be raised a bit and a little camber to fit the wider tires. So Mike and Tim from FIST Racing just installed the Coilovers that I had been sitting on for nearly 2 years Lol. Now I have go pick up the wheels this Sunday in Austin, then buy the tires and have them mounted. Then straight to get the Coilovers aligned and setup properly.

Here are some pics of the Coilovers installed. Besides the car needing an alignment the ride quality has improved a great deal now. It takes bumps a lot better now as well.

They look awesome. Need them pics of the new wheels installed asap. Lol.

MAN, that underbody is clean! I wish I lived in Texas :orangelaugh:

Still no pictures with the wheels on [emoji14]

Well the day has finally come to where I obtain my dream wheels for this car! I love the fitment this is perfect!! I couldn't be happier with these.

I wanna give a BIG thank you to Mike Collins and Tim Oaster up at FIST racing for installing the Coilovers and always working on my cars, and to Charles Back for giving me a good deal on the BC racing Coilovers, and to my boy Alex Ruiz for hooking me up with the Bridgestone Potenza RE760's and to David and Minh from Garage Nowin for sourcing out these amazing wheels for me.

So freaking clean, I'm liking it a lot!

Real nice! Whats that aluminum sheet under the rear of the car?

Excellent wheel choice!

Amazing ride!!

Love love love it!

That's what I call perfection!

Thanks guys! The rear undertray is just a cover for the gas tank, and to keep air from going into the rear bumper. It's just a cosmetic under car part that there was a group buy on that I couldn't pass up.

I'm Inspired of some much Dedication & Commit involved in this project outstanding job!
