    the inside was full of fag buts red clay and all sorts of rubish.dont now how people let a car like this get into sutch a poor state ?it has a few deep scratches on it and it could do with a new front bumper,but it does seem to run well for a car with 177k on the clock.

    Nice. The 2.5T is a very underrated and tunable engine too.

    well,not shore yet.
    most of my spare cash goes on my skyline.i got the volvo just to nip about in but to be honest i like the volvo more than i thought.
    i will give her a service next weekend and then have a look at it again ? more power would be nice but its the ride that lets it down as it is far to soft.a mate of mine does full car wraps so i might do some thing with that.i wish i could fiend a body kit for the car,and maybe anice set of alloys.dont no yet might just do just the power and ride ?
    dont no what you all think of skylines but this is my R32GTR

    Ride too soft? That's something a decent spring, bush and shock set will soon sort out!

    Very nice R32 you got there, i'v seen to many skylines that are just to OTT, but yours is just right.
