Funny. I have a 32 and a BRz myself. My R is white, but the BRZ is WRB too. Nice cars you got there!

Nice combination of cars. I prefer AWD performance cars myself and have an R35 in addition to my Nismo R32 but also have a Scion FR-S for old-school RWD fun lol.

One thing I noticed though, you put on your profile info that your R32 is an N1 but from your pics it doesn't seem to be. The N1s were a limited edition of only 238 made in 1993 and they were only available in white with no clear coat, no ABS, and N1 headlamps. Your car is grey with ABS and regular headlamps. Did you just mean it has an N1 block swapped in?

Just my opinion but I think you should change it since it might make you seem like a poser to say you have an N1 when you really have a regular car with an N1 block. The actual N1s were extremely limited edition and having N1 parts doesn't make a regular R32 into an N1 R32 just like having Nismo parts on any regular Nissan doesn't make it a factory Nismo vehicle. People who know Skylines will take notice of the N1 claim since they're so rare. By coincidence, I was just talking to an expert on R32s yesterday actually before I saw your post - he's personally imported and examined dozens of Skylines (including many Nismos) here and in Japan and he told me even he's only ever seen one actual N1.

Definitely a good looking R32. How often have you driven it? I've barely put on 100-150 miles on mine since buying it a month ago. I've used 93 pump with octane booster for the couple drives I've done but waiting for a dyno session + tune in the next couple weeks.

I got the car tune last night. I max out to where the OEM turbos are safe and I did not upgrade the injectors, So I made 375 AWHP on Cail 91OCT ( I wish we had good fuel out here :frown: )

I guess next up on Power mods are turbos, injectors and cams.

Ive been running my R32 GTR on 93 octane with a couple bottles of octane booster per tank but looking to tune it in the next couple of weeks. I've got a twin plate clutch in her and its starting to slip so its useless to get her on the dyno if she's not putting the power down. Hence the clutch needs to be refreshed before doing the tune. Patience is a virtue :)

Anyone have any insight into running 93 oct with booster on the RB26? Does it hold up well, etc?

I have been told the rims are 18x9.5 but I'm not 100% sure, I'm running 245/40.
No idea on the spacer they came with the car, next time I have the wheels off I will check.
