Hey Everyone.

Thought it was time I posted up a topic for my car. Haven't really updated anything since my first introductory thread (see HERE for my introduction post which explains how and why I got the car etc)

So it's a 1989 Nissan Skyline GTE, with a manual and RB25DE conversion, along with 5-stud brakes, R200 diff etc. It was purchased in October 2005.

A minor thing we did when we first got it was painted and cleaned up the brake calipers.

Before


After


We also got it dyno'd, 115rwkw, pretty reasonable I think.



Here is the progress of the Clarion Headunit and Front speakers. These were laying round from my sister's old Daihatsu Applause. No audio came with the car when purchased.

Before


Previous owner must have made these mounts, personally don't like them. Trying to source stock covers at the moment.


After




The rim centre's weren't in excellent condition so we decided to get them sandblasted and powdercoated in black. Also got the plates MI11NT, I don't like them anymore so when rego comes up I'm going to get RB25NA I think.





And then we did suspension, we put new Polyurethane bushes in the front caster arms and front upper arms, and a few months after that got TEIN super-street coilovers.

They're actually on their lowest setting, but I think it's great.


Sits nice.


Cat up to no good.


Another one of the cat


And then we got some better speakers for the front + tweeters (Pioneer) and moved the Clarions to the rear.



Not a great pic of the speakers but meh.


Not much happened for a while, but recently I got a new headunit.

No pics of that installed.


Also got a Genuine Nismo Steering Wheel and boss kit. I love the old style Nismo Logo.



And 2 days ago I got a Genuine Nismo Aluminium Chrome gearknob, however it isn't the type you can buy now, it's a discontinued part and has the old style logo engraved in it. Pics to come.



That's about all the progress on my car I guess.

My plans now are to get
  • Nismo Cupholder (rare) but just purchased one biggrin.gif
  • Side Window visors
  • Fix + Paint front Aero bar and then purchase the matching Aero pods for a full Factory Aero kit.
  • Brand New Nardi Wheel (with Nismo horn button)
  • Mount rear plates at angle (and get RB25NA)
  • Stock door speaker covers and mounts.
  • Vacuum clean interior with one of those powerful chemical ones tongue.gif
  • Buff + polish + wax and all that stuff (easy done, just need to put the effort in haha)
  • Put some new Blue LEDs in the dash cos some of the ones now fell out due to the people putting the alarm system in
Thanks for looking at my 4-door R32 Skyline biggrin.gif

Updates to come hopefully ^.^
