Yea I'm trying to land him in the Nissan world shortly, but yea that LSX kouki was a beast. The GTR is hands down one of the coolest machines I have ever driven! Nothing beats the sound of an rb26!

Haha Damien won't leave his sti and once I get my five lug on and fit my mustang reps we should all meet up and get some pictures.

krowles · 08-04-2013, 10:46 AM

Thank you sir!

StrictlyImportMotorsports · 08-06-2013, 09:18 PM

Love the car!! Your story reminds me of myself when I was 16 starting with a 88 Camaro and traded my way up to a Evo 8!! Gl with everything im jealous of the car

LuckyLuciano · 08-07-2013, 09:40 AM

Drooool.

One day, I too will have one. But until then, the drooling will continue.

In for more.

krowles · 08-07-2013, 10:40 AM

Thanks for the positive words. Car is currently appart, more pictures to come!

91es13coop · 08-09-2013, 07:28 PM

waiting on pics!!!! THIS IS AWESOME. as cliche as it is NOW, this was and has been my dream car for about 15 years now.

To see that you were able to do this in almost the same way MOST of us obtain cars is really inspiring. Cant wait to see where this goes.

I think most skyline owners have a love hate relationship with their cars.

Congrats on joining the club.

krowles · 08-20-2013, 09:54 AM

Tons of pics coming very soon! Thank you very much for the positive support. And the love hate comment is 100% accurate hahaha I'll post pics to prove that!

B2FiNiTY · 08-23-2013, 11:13 AM

Looks like a great start

krowles · 08-27-2013, 12:38 AM

Ok I've been slacking. Here are some pics. First thing I did was get rid of the crappy boost controller and get something to monitor the AfR. Love how they fitted up.

Then I started to polish some things up. n

krowles · 08-27-2013, 12:39 AM

After some investigation I found the clutch booster was shot. I cleaned it up and a friend tack welded it in place till it came in.

Then i put the New brake booster on.

Started investigating and found boost leaks. Gaskets were blown appart and worse.

Found multiple Cracked manifolds.

So i tore down bay

krowles · 08-27-2013, 12:40 AM

Put the parts on shelf

After getting it back together I still wasnt happy. New turbo came into play.

Started to re-Freshing up paint in the mean time.

New manifold is being made. Top mount twin scroll with dual 44mm waste gates.

krowles · 08-27-2013, 12:42 AM

Car was attracting attention and got a shoot from my good bud. Here is a shoot teaser

Much more to come. This car will be epic by the end and I plan on having a GTR that will run with the best and live up to Godzilla's name.

aga · 08-27-2013, 02:01 AM

the car is absolutely beautiful! personally i just dont like the steering wheel, dunno if you put it in or the last guy... good luck with the tune, the fcon is great, too bad it doesnt have english software...

krowles · 08-27-2013, 07:13 AM

Yea wheel came with the car. Trust me, it WILL be gone. Just getting it running to where I'm happy first. As for tuning, I guess I'm lucky I'm close to IveyTune

jsu1012 · 08-27-2013, 07:47 AM

needs ccw lm5's..

na but looking good bud. can't wait to see pics of that manifold when it's done.

go7roo7 · 08-27-2013, 08:03 AM

Congrats on the R32! I have personally loved both the Mk4Supra and the R32-34s and hopefully In the future I will be able to acquire one of these gems. But if the wife and I want to have kids in the future, I might have to purchase a used GTR, cause you know they have rear seats for kids

and keep my Z33 in the garage while adding parts to it. Congrats again sir!
