My R32 Gts-T


Recommended Posts

Hey all my name is Danny I'm from ACT and this is somewhat a build thread on my 32 Skyline. (its 2 in the morning and i have nothing better to do lol.) I will attach all of the photos from when I got it to date.

At the time when I was on my Ls a couple of my mates drove Skylines and I've wanted one as a child so I was on the search for one as soon as I got my Provisionals in April 2012. Around August 2012 I found a 240rwkw R32 (deathwish) with just under 100,000kms on it (my mind exploded for the price it was going for.) So I made the call, had a look, and bought it 4 months after getting my Ps. With little to no knowledge (was too keen for my first "real" car.) It had problems here and there that I was unaware of, main ones were the gearbox; it whines but was told it was the 2way diff and it had an exhaust leak but I didn't realize how bad the leak was until I took it to PowaTone. I thought these weren't a big issue at the time and drove it for a couple months without doing anything about it (noob.) Overall it was a clean car and I can't complain about the price I got it for, but if I could go back I'd probably buy something thats not as modified as this so I'd have the satisfaction of doing the mods and watching the power grow from stock.

After little progress pulling it apart we gave up and I got it towed to PowaTone exhaust centre in Fyshwick to let the guys there do the rest of the work. Found out the manifold studs were on the wrong way round and was warped about 6mm so I got that machined along with a custom 3" catback system made up cause the old system was munted from scraping..

All these photos are in a span of just about 9 months and so far its been sitting in the driveway since I got defected back in Feb earlier on in the year, right now I'm in the process of returning the car back to somewhat legal. I'm planning to keep the car as stealth as I can.
Tuned sometime in 2011 at Powertune in Sydney and made around 240rwkw on 20.5 psi with full boost at 4,500rpm (LAG.)
