Canadian R32 GTS-T

My R32 GTS-T with a bit of a rough history but i belive it shows the character and i doubt i'll kill it beyond reserection. 90,000km. It was stolen a few years agoe. It's had a new rb20det installed in 1996 and says it's had a 100,000km timing belt replacement. Not very reassuring when i was running 1-1.3bar and drove the piss out of it putting 10,000km in 3 1/2 months. This is why i love i love my car, it's that ragidy old dog that has a personality and wont die.

 

A fair parts list but i consider the car 20% done, probably continue rockin the rb20 as a daily driver. Then buy a 96' r33 v-spec when their legal here and make a crazy fast street car to just beat the crap out of on weekends.

SRT8 Challenger was the first one i've ever seen and had to snap some pictures, my god is it ever a huge car. It has roughly the same power to weight as my r32 but it's got a slushbox.

Blue 350z is a car some guy in college owns that kept on getting out of racing me. Stillen posative displacement supercharged, the hood actually needs that rise to cover it. 450bhp (i say bullshit, 10 psi on a roots style blower doesn't add 170hp). Might be twin turboed  and sleeved next year but also every v8 guy i raced bitched about their "400, 500, unlimited hp next year motor" so words are just words.

R35 was bought by someone in town $130,000 (3 bidders) and theirs only 20 Black Editions comming to Canada and besides the manager and top salesman i'm the only guy who got to sit in it, let alone touch it. Unfortunately i was at work and school for 18 hours of my day and i never got any pictures of the twins together. But with a compressor, injector, ecu and maf upgrades my top priority will be hunting it next summer.
