Nissan Skyline R32 | Plenty of Power | 4K

Показать описание
"My first car was a VH Commodore station wagon, which was the family commuter, which was pretty cool because it was a V8 but watching the R32 GT-R going around Bathurst pretty much inspired me to get something with a turbo in it."
And so began Matt's search to find a turbocharged Skyline in Australia in the late 90s. He went to an importer to bring a car in from Japan, and took the importers advice to trade the Commodore station wagon in for a four door R32. Despite not being the coupe, he fell in love with it; with the colour and the power increase from the VH wagon.
"I think the first modification was a chip and boost controller, which brought the rear wheel kilowatts up to 140, which was pretty good in a car like that. Since then I upgraded the front mount intercooler and installed a K&N filter."
"I then blew the motor, so I thought it was time to get a bit more serious so it wouldn't happen again, so I built the motor again with forged pistons, a bigger cam, GT-R injectors and put a bigger alloy radiator in there. Since then the motor has been awesome, it hasn't missed a beat. It's given me a lot of pleasure, both on the tracks and on the road."
"Then the transmission blew, so I reconditioned it, and it blew again. So I thought, 'It's time for a manual', so I put an R33 manual in there with a one-piece tail shaft, and a heavy duty clutch, and since then track days have been more fun compared to having the auto transmission in the car."
After the engine mods, Matt waited some time to enjoy the car before upgrading the suspension, installing a larger exhaust alongside a turbo upgrade. The noise bothered his neighbours but gave him a bit of fame around the neighbourhood, and everyone recognised the Skyline.
More recently, Matt upgraded the brakes and the wheels to bring the car up to scratch with modern performance needs and styling cues, completing the look with semi-slick Nitto wheels.
Some of you may even recognise Matt's skyline. It's been featured at AutoSalon, getting a full display in 2004. The Skyline has been part of Matt's life for almost 20 years, and will be a mainstay for a long time to come because he "can't get rid of it."
