Building a vehicle from scratch is always a big challenge. It usually takes months or even years for the effort to get out of the former scrap heap restored dream object was created that can be proudly presented to the public. An example of the treasures that can be created from junk cars is this Nissan Skyline R32, which has been given a second life and will now play a supporting role in the tenth installment of the Fast and Furious series. The sweetheart belongs to the two owners of the media company Icaris Limited, Matt and Alan and we would like to introduce you to the R32.
Twilight Purple is trumps!
The car, which ended up in the hands of the two tuners who brought the R32 back to life with the help of Big Bear Kustoms as a body wrap for hobbyists, was painted in the signature Skyline colour Twilight Purple painted. In addition, the former wreck got one of Veilside inspired widebody kit, which by Big Bear Kustoms was designed.
There's also an OEM rear wing with carbon Gurney flaps and in terms of rims, the Nissan got exclusive 6AD Forged Wheels 19-inch rims with a gold finish and polished chrome-look beds. Together with the BC Racing coil springs ensure a dynamic appearance. There is also a brake upgrade from Yellowspeed and a custom exhaust system from HKS with a downpipe is also included and ensures a sonorous sound.
The interior is sporty and classy!
A bespoke interior created by Marshland Upholstery lined with violet Alcantara and black leather spoils the occupants of the R32. A Vertex Leopard steering wheel, purple straps from Airbag Team UK as well as a shift knob from We are the same are additional gimmicks that adorn the cockpit of the four-wheeled movie star.
RB25DET six-cylinder petrol engine with single turbo
A decent 2,5 liter cubic capacity and a single turbocharger ensure that the Skyline R32 GT-R develops a whopping 400 HP at 0,7 bar boost pressure. Various modifications, such as a MishimotoIntercooler and various components from Turbosmart, make it possible for the force to be achieved. It is shifted via a 5-speed manual gearbox from the successor model R33 and the power is transmitted exclusively to the rear wheels. Unfortunately, we have no information on the driving performance.
