I bought my R32 GT-R here in the United States after it had been sitting for about two years. From the moment I saw it, I knew it deserved another chance. It wasn't about finding a perfect car it was about bringing an icon back to the standard it deserves.
The goal has never been to throw random parts at it or build the fastest GT-R around. I want to restore, improve, and refine it one step at a time while respecting what makes the RB26-powered Skyline so special. Every repair, upgrade, and maintenance item is another step toward making it a reliable, well-sorted driver's car.
If there's one thing I wish I knew before buying it, it's just how expensive R32 GT-R parts can be and that these cars definitely aren't as beginner-friendly as I had hoped. Every job seems to lead to three more, and tracking down quality OEM parts or the right aftermarket components takes time, patience, and money. But that's also part of the experience.
Owning an R32 GT-R has taught me that these cars demand commitment. They reward patience, careful maintenance, and attention to detail. It's not always easy, but every drive reminds me why I started this journey in the first place.
