This is a local R32 GTR, a VERY rare car in the US.

Whoever owns it needs to learn how to wash it so they stop putting swirl marks in the paint...poor paint..

Nice car though..very not easy to find in the US.

I love the R32's. It's just too bad that it take so much work to get them running properly. 16 years a pretty old in japanese-car-years.

Go with the GTR. The GTS-T is really no comparison.

We don't get enough of them in the midwest. My wife has seen one, and I had to go to Hawaii to see one in person.

I heard the person that owned MOTOREX (imported skylines in the US ) went to prison for importing them and not doing it legally. Ive seen maybe a handful of R34s and only one R32, never a R33 in person.

You must remember, most people buy GTR's to drive them hard. Not only that, very few (if any) stay stock. Most are modified in one way or another for more performance. Heat and time will destroy anything...even GTR's.;) 16 years means all the rubber in the car is toast, all joints in the suspension have had it, the engine/transmission/differential/brake master cylinder/brake rotors/brake calipers/clutch cylinder/interior is worn, the wire harnesses are oxidized and damaged from underhood heat....see what I mean?

But when they're properly reworked,

That is correct. He was as shady as they came, as well as basically ANY jdm importer you come across.

I did a web site for a JDM importer here in NJ/NY. So I drove a jdm Type r and have been around pulsars, silvias, r32, r33, gc8 sti, etc.
