hey so i thought i would share my build with you guys
so in 2009 i picked up a 1992 r32 nissan skyline gts. it was completely stock and a great base to start from


thats how she sat when i first got her.
so i drove it like that for 2 months then parked it for the winter where i began my parts list.
first thing first was needed some new shoes.

next new apexi bov

new hks exhaust, gtr fiberglass hood and recaro d&w seats and HKS boost gauge.



so spring rolled around and i installed the exhaust and rims and the drivers seat.

drove her for little bit when it started giving me a problem with starting and barely had any power. so it sat for about a month and half due to too busy at college to look at it. so finally got around to looking at it and the fuel pump was shot. She was running on only 13PSI of fuel. WOW so picked up a new Walbro 255lph fuel pump threw it in and went for a rip. HOLY **** i had the biggest grin on my face. lol. Now its around july of 2010 and the car is running great. I finially got the passanger seat in and picked up a NRG qr, a omp deep dish wheel ,HKS intake, VME 8000k hid kit.

Next i wanted to get rid of the dull interior lights so i changed the gauge cluster lights to led lights and changed the dome lights to a led also

So a couple sets of rear tires and a speeding ticket later lol (long story), the season was coming to an end. Well before i parked the car decided to go out to the local sunday night cruising which turned into a horror story for my buddy. Next i picked up cusco front and rear strut bars and a new gtr light weight hood and grill.



Heres the new parts list
HKS FMIC

Tein HA coilovers

Rare Tomei corner light covers and nismo horn button

Nismo shifter knob
HKS evc-s

This past summer i got new wheels. Panasport g7 c5c and this is how the car looked




this up and coming summer i will be running the same rims sized rims that are on the front, all the way around the car. They will be new purple.
Also couple other little things.

check back again for more updates.
thanks and enjoy.

Looks great! Reminds me of when I did mine but I went from painted lip to polished. 140 grit to 3000 grit and then polish. I miss having a mirror like finish but it was a pain to keep shiny.
