The R32 is growing on me. The more you post, the more it grows on me. Always been a fan of the R34 and R35....now it's looking like the R32 can join.

Awesome rare (at least in the states) car! And the mods enhanced it, without going overboard.

Curious, where do you get OEM parts? Like if you need a starter, an alternator, wheel bearings, etc. Are they readily available? That's the main worry I'd have with importing an older GTR, Silvia, etc.

Thank you for the love guys! I wasn't the biggest fan of the car until I drove this one and the build quality (surprise) took me away. There were no creaks or rattles and the suspension felt solid even after 25 years. It is such an event to drive with the mods now, especially the exhaust shooting flames every time you lift off.

As far as replacement parts go, a lot of them are interchangeable with other Nissans from that era and Nissan stocks RB specific parts. You can even buy a new assembled long block without accessories.
