No longer a V35 owner, but here's the new toy

Hi all,

Firstly a big thankyou to everyone here. Being in Australia, when I got my first V35 there was literally no where to go for any help, so spent many many days going through the info on this site. And what a great site it is.

In the last year I've gone through 2 V35's and after having a long think decided to go with something I've been wanting for a while

First - my first V35 - 05 Auto


After a few months, got bored with the auto so went to a 6MT
Man i loved this car!



And now - ta da, the new toy

it's a 1992 R32 GTR N1 in complete factory condition. 1 of only 228 made for N1 and endurane racing in Japan. Differences to a normal GTR include things like, no ABS, extra light headlights, thinner coat of paint for weight saving, full N1 engine, Nismo intercooler with water spray and only came in white.







Again, thanks heaps all, as said this is an awesome site, and I'll definately be back fro the odd looksy :-)

Thanks guys,

Man i miss the V35 like crazy, and it's only been 2 weeks! It was pretty hard deciding to go from an 04 car to a 92 car, but the GTR will be purely a weekender, and not a Mon-Fri daily. I was killing the V35 with 500km's a week to and from work, so have gone for a cheap daily and teh GTR for weekends. Family cruises and the odd track day :-)

Thanks for sharing pics like this! Refreshing to see something different, yet so intimately related to the G pedigree.

Very nice!!

Is that your daily driver? If so I would consider getting something that isn't so rare to drive most of the time.

Cheers guys, and nah, the GTR will be strictly on weekend duties only.

Being a GTR fan and owning Skylines for well over 10 years, I'm over the moon that I've found something so rare.
Ultimately it's a car I have no plans on selling, and will hopefully be around for my 2 boys to fight over in my will reading, in about 60 years :-)
