Default Anyone Own or Previously Owned Skyline R32 GTR

Hi guys,

Im thinking of buying an Nissan Skyline R32 GTR 2.6 Twin Turbo.

Does anyone have an experience of this as I have never owned a Skyline before.

Sat in a few R33 Gtr's and once in a R34, but never a R32.

I have been told these are the quickest (standard) as they are a lot lighter than the later models.

Anyone have any first hand experience?

Servicing costs, Fuel Economy (Not that its important - otherwise i'd buy a nissan micra again ), bhp gains, etc, etc

Been on the GTR forum, but they havent got a search facility... like us

There is a good search on http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/

The 32 is considdered by most as the best one, due to its rawness. I secretly like the 32, but it is really dated. Performance bargain though!

Lots of owners on http://www.gtr.co.uk and a good search as mentioned already.

Personally I'm not that keen on the 32 as they're looking very old now.

I owned a 33 and 34 and almost bought a few 32's. Like everyone else has said the R34 is best looking, R32 is purest driving car and lightest and 33 is just sat in between really. For about

I BOUGHT ONE!



It supposedly running 350bhp but my Evo IV @310bhp gave me more of a punch in the back when putting my foot down.

Agreed the R32's do look very dated, especially from the back, and Clear indicators are a wopping
