Not sure where to start. Long time GTR owner but this project starts in 2016
having had a 32 gtr when i was a student in 2003, (then sold it to buy a TME 6.5) i always wanted to go back to a 32.
chance happened that one came up and went back into ownership.
The car was in blue (rare as im sure those in the know, know) but it was the only colour i wanted. Late edition 1994.
When it arrived, i wanted it stripped down and undergo full restoration, purchasing all the parts new, and starting down a road of (as far as i could perfection). The car is still in japan and about to be sent to Midori Seibi for final tune of the V cam and N1 engine.
2016 arrival
Found out Nissan had just dropped a new N1 engine in. (result!)
car was stripped down and underwent paint preparation, ditching all the old bits like crusty wind deflectors etc.
Nismo aero is original

It's been a journey but one i wish to continue as it's all been very positive.
GTR parts keep developing and Omori keep releasing new items. When i stop by, they always seem to have something new.
Carbon airbox is not featured on the build yet, (the engine just went back in in the photo) so some parts are not fitted.
i shipped the Nitron 3 way set up from UK to Japan as made more sense to do that, than pay double the price it cost in Tokyo.
cost of the build, hard to say
parts, probably in the region of £35k id guess, Midori's cost maybe they will charge around £10k for the set up not sure yet, dont have their bill, as they dont quote prior to the build.
Then the original car cost, and additional costs to put everything together.
still it's fun !
should be rolling around the streets of Tokyo end of August.

Hi, i spend alot of time in japan, so some of my cars are stored there inc the 32
(just returned from the latest trip)
i live in the UK
Sounds like a nice lifestyle. I love the Japanese car culture having grown up on Gran Turisimo, and read about the Midnight Club and all that stuff. (just returned from the latest trip)

it had larger turbines, but was detuned from just over 1000ps to it's current spec.
when this car was built from 1999-2009, there was little really known about pushing the limits of the RB (to this level)
tech moves on, but it's a lovely smooth car to drive
(had to sell my previous 34gtr to fund the deposit, but onwards and upwards)
