This thread makes the car sound as legendary as it is!
That performance car mini review just makes Tim's car sound incredible, the pics of utterly mint examples, the tales of epic financial ruin for the unlucky ones. This car just doesn't do 'boring'.
Remenber that was 20 years ago as well. Not many cars with that performance thenThat performance car mini review just makes Tim's car sound incredible, the pics of utterly mint examples, the tales of epic financial ruin for the unlucky ones. This car just doesn't do 'boring'.
I was fortunate to drive a mint stock one around Tokyo earlier this year and was a great car. Was surprisingly easy to drive and the acceleration was fantastic, went for a drive with a few folk on the expressways to daikoku and was a lot of fun.
The power and traction felt a lot more stable than my rx7, in that car you don't get much power until much higher in the revs then the backend gets lively.
Frustratingly back when I got the rx7 in 2012 I was deciding between a Supra, s2000 or an rx7. I really should've considered an r32 as well.

Still love mine. I can't think of anything I would want to replace it with.
that sir is f
king ace Great colour, wheels and ride height look perfect, so many Skylines, and other Japanese stuff gets over done, but they got it right in so many cases from the factory, RX7, Supra, 300 ZX etc.

I know in writing a buying guide, you have to write it from the perspective of a standard car, otherwise, where do you start? But, this seems to be written from a template that might ordinarily apply to a previous generation M3, where modified cars are the exception.
For R32s, probably more than any other car, good luck finding a standard one.
A buying guide would be more useful in explaining what mods are good and bad to look out for, since pretty much anything is both possible and available in these cars.
My thoughts exactly. Great and thorough guide, but in reality there must only be a very small number of standard cars left out there.For R32s, probably more than any other car, good luck finding a standard one.

I nearly bought an R32 a couple of years ago but Nissan factory driver Jann Mardenborough beat me to it! I had an R33 though, that was great although the interior is shockingly dull for the 'legend' car that it has become.
Jann posted on Twitter recently that he was thinking of selling his R32, though I imagine an R32 driven by a Super GT driver will command a premium! I've always wanted a R32 or R33 but prices are out of reach for me now unfortunately. It definitely deserves its legend status but it's a shame I'll likely never get to own one now.
I still have my R32gtr a f*****g brilliant car never fails to put a smile on my face when driving it. She's off the road at the moment, can't wait to get her sorted,ill health keeps getting in the way.Ill never forget when I bought her about 12 years ago,went for a test drive and could not believe a car could corner so quickly.I just had a grin from ear to ear.
