After clicking on so many threads titled "R32" on pistonheads it's so so nice to see one about a skyline instead of a golf.
Love R32s so much.
Ain't that the truth - R32 to me means "Skyline", not some tarted up VW offering. Refreshing to see a true motoring legend when you click an R32 tread for a change.Love R32s so much.

Looks very nice, was very tempted to get one of these instead of the second Supra.
Currently trying to figure out whether to go with one of these or a supra after selling my current car. It is one tough decision.OP - Really nice condition car - congrats!
Edited - too excited so didnt read thread before posting!

Small picture update. I've not driven it for about a month due to the weather so came back with a massive grin on my face. I haven't done any more work on it yet, just gave it another wash.
Rear seats as promised:
Proper shot of the engine bay (not cleaned, sorry!):
Better shots of the dash:
Inside it's as it arrived on the boat, the only things I've cleaned are the floor mats (all original). The rocker switch under the steering wheel is my hastily added rear fog light switch. It's screwed into an existing screw hole so I can sort something more permanent at a later date. I'm thinking of incorporating an LED into the unused fog light button above the main light switch. The silver box under the wheel, which I forgot about, is one of those automatic toll payment card readers things. No idea if it works so that will probably be coming out as well. The strut brace is the original factory item with a matching one in boot and now I've changed the battery in the fob, the factory fitted remote central locking works.

If you ever fancy fitting a bucket seat I have a Bride seat and subframe sitting in my loft that came out of my old R32 
Any pics? info? 
OP this really does look a mint example! rare to find one with an original wheel like that, although not hard to find they are usually swapped!! what are your future plans for it?
It's going to be a rolling restoration and I'm going to keep it as original as possible. It doesn't need much, just little jobs here and there and the original seats will be staying but thanks for the heads up knight. I like the feel of the stock wheel, it helps that this one doesn't look like someones chewed on it like a lot of them do.
Something else I forgot to mention. The observant amongst you may have noticed that the GTR badge on the ash tray (in the auction shot in the first post) is no longer there. It went missing in transit, luckily it was the only thing.

The only thing missing on mine when I collected it from the docks was the gearknob!Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
