Cool!!!
Looking forward to this one.
Get some pics of the r32 up as well;I'm seriously thinking of breaking my cossie to get in one of those,I reckon it'll break for £3-3500 then I'll stump up some £££ for the rest.
Don't want silly power,300bhp sounds plenty!!!

Thats it fella but under bonnett isnt that clean now, just grubby though will clean up ok.
Turbo is slightly smaller too but main thing those afms are now gone in favour of a hks fcon ecu.

I got a decent reduction on price too but it does have 1 broken manifold stud I gotta get sorted.

Nice car. I cannot believe you're going to dip the wheels in 'carbon look' though! Come on man, that's saxo stuff.

I think many will change their tune once they see them on the car. Like I said previously, I think they'll look ace and the Skyline is a nice colour to pull them off too. Always liked R33s and think Skyline motors make one of the best noises ever!

I agree I like them, but the wheels do look good blue in the flesh so they may stay blue not sure yet.
My first r33 this is and the rb27 coupled with the screamer pipe she does sound sweet

A stage 1 r32 gtr would murder a stage 1 saph no question. 11 second 1/4 miles have been done stage 1! For the money there the best there is imo

Yep that is precisely my point, just 1 bar boost and breathing mods on an otherwise stock r32 gtr and youve got around 380 hp
