THIS one is worth it. Again, San Diego area. I was headed to my friends house to take her an old litter box i had lying around for her new cat. I was on 54 West, headed toward 805 South. From about Paradise Valley Rd. all the way to Orange Ave I saw two cars, apparently one following the other to someones house or something. the first was rice to me, a non-Trueno Toyota re-badged as the old AE86 Trueno Sprinter. the second car made me happier in the pants than any car i've ever seen in person.

it was a Skyline GTR R-32. not a rebadged anything. a bonified R-32, right-hand drive and all. She was silver, lowered within 2 inches of the ground on some gunmetal rims, stock spoiler and an aftermarket muffler that gave it this orgasmic litlle drone while cruising and a pleasent-to-the-ears scream when (what im assumgin is) flooring it.

these two were hauling balls and i tried my best to keep up (and managed to) until they exited. I tried like hell to get the R-32 driver's attention to give him a thumbs up or something, but whenever i pulled along side the Skyline both drivers slipped away and i was left standing on the gas to catch up. It had Florida plates, so it was very safe to assume i may never see it again, but man i would KILL to have a right hand drive, fully CA smog legal R32 or R34. tried to snap a couple cell phone pics, but it was that time between sunset and darkness, so none of them came out at all. i hope to see him again someday soon so i can try and get him to let me snap some photos.

Im almost embarrassed to say that when the R32 first appeared in my rear-view i though out loud "damn, that S13 has some nice work done."

i was pleasently surprised! :D

How about ENOUGH of these threads WITHOUT PICS!

I swear i'll gather a lynch mob for ur arse!


Side note: I should stop by Black Ops sometime cause they came with an R32 to the UCF weekly meet but it had an RB26 motor. And they have ocasionally showed up with an AE86 as well.

Ha, well this one is better. But I agree, without pictures it doesn't have the same impact.

i tried pics but it was late and their was no light! :D

i tried to follow him to get some pics when he stopped, but i wasn't sure how far out of the way they were going to take me, and i was close to needing gas at the time. i got one pic on my cell, but its so far away you couldn't even tell it was a skyline, even with those quad LED tails.

I love 928s. Before I had another half deciding how finances were allocated, I was dead-set on buying one of those.

i prefer my 924S, as it doesn't have that 7' long timing belt.
