That is a very clean car! Why so much wheel gap? Is the hood like that stock? Doesn't look right, needs a grill.

I have no idea. I talked to his wife, and she doesn't know anything about the car. he wasn't home. I am surely going to find out everything I can about this car......mark my words!

That is sick,one of my favs.One of few cars that would make me walk out on my leggy lol.Those rb engines can be had for decent prices on e-bay all the time,too bad you can spend like $300 on a single gasket though lol.

That would be my concern—parts. Sounds like it's definitely this guy's concern as well! Don't like the wheels, but those cars are awesome.

It looks nice aside from the wheel/tire combo.

That looks to be just a GTS-T Type M.

In that case... meh.

Not to sound all high and mighty, but GTS-Ts are like Camrys around here. I see one driving around or at a meet or something about once a month.

When I went to NOPI a couple years ago, there were as many GTS-Ts as Honda Civics.

A good friend of mine runs Black Ops Performance (here's their Myspace) and his personal cars right now include not only the real deal, an R32 Skyline GT-R, but a Toyota Sera as well.

He used to own a JDM MR2 Turbo, and in his shop I've seen a Pulsar GTi-R, and the last time I hung out with him, we went to the movies in a Toyota Aristo that was his friend's car.

The GT-R is really all it's cracked up to be. It truly is Japan's supercar.

Nobody drives those things up here. People buy supercars or regular cars and that's about it outside of the classic fraternity. Funny, though, the Lamborghini dealer near me went out of business already.

there is this one near me, and an R33 in the city that I work. I am over a thousand miles away from florida, so it might as well be japan to me. I still would take a base model, clapped out rust bucket skyline if I had the chance. :P quite rare for me.

What horrible wheels, that think needs to be slammed with that offset, or new wheels. The design isn't bad, but with that wheel gap and offset it looks terrible

+1 I see them about once a month too. A shame most of them are GTS' but it's understandable, and though they're econoboxes they're still great cars. Nissan really knows how to make a car. I'd kill for one. I wouldn't dream of DDing one though without at least a full parts car on hand, though RBs are pretty common around here too because of all the swaps. When I move to Japan though, an R32 GTR will be one of my first purchases.
