steve1093 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I've posted a few photos on my Glanza build thread, but I though I'd start one for this. Will be picking this up in a week or two, can't wait!The plan is to use this as a daily for the winter and keep the Starlet garaged. As It's not the best car to use in the winter haha.It's a 1992 Skyline R32 GTST Type M, only been imported a little over a year ago. Only covered 137,000km, and is so clean underneath. (One of the main reasons I decided to take the trip up there.) Took a 600 mile and 12 hour round trip to and back from Middlesbrough.Basic specs/modifications:- RB20DET- Japspeed HICAS lockout kit- Japspeed/Daiyama Coilovers- Exedy performance clutch- Walbro 255lph fuel pump- HKS strut brace- Apexi exhaust- Enkei racing S wheels- GReddy boost gauge- Nismo dial facesSo it's in pretty standard condition, which is good as Im hoping to use it as a daily during the winter, then we will see what happens after that.Should hopefully make a fair bit of progress on this, mainly after the winter I expect.

Still lush car, would love one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still lush car, would love one Yeah I'm sure I'll get this a lot! haha. Main reason being the Starlet is completely stripped out, no comforts what so ever. Does get a bit tiring after a while, so going to give the Skyline a go and see how it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
