Well after working my way up the Jap performance car ladder im finally here with a beast !!!

Just picked up my built to order 600bhp Phoenix's Power R32 GTR on Saturday morning :)

It was built for an old guy who lived literally 5 mins from my parents house and I used to see it at weekends when he was out polishing it ! I always said one day Id have an R32 but never thought it would be that exact one !!!

Anyways, ill stick up pics and details on the appropriate bit of the forum.

Some of you may know me already as Ive been around a long while with various jap metal. Mx5 turbo's, rx7's evos etc etc

I now stay in Glasgow due to working here so hope to meet some of you soon !

Im also on GTROC with this username too :)

Fully built to order by Garage Fukui SPL Phoenix's Power Japan for an older gentleman who has had her since early 2004, 60 odd miles between MOT's right up until June this year when it changed hands briefly before being bought by me :)

Shes covered a ridiculously low 5000 miles since the full restoration and build back in 2003/2004 and EVERYthing on her is brand spanking new :)

Power output is around 500 bhp on low boost (1 Bar) and over 600 bhp on high (1.8 Bar)

Currently got a sticky wastegate issue doue to the lack of use of the car which is causing boost spikes and loss of boost when it jams. Going to take it off and sort it this coming weekend though and she will be back to full health :)

Ive seen it hit 2.5 bar due to the watsegate issue so for now Im taking it easy as I really dont fancy having to fix this engine !!!!! LOL

Sold them all up till next year, should be in another 32 by spring time fingers crossed. Will catch up at the next meet. :bigthumb:
Nice monster you got there mate - Welcome to the club :)
when my r32 grows up it wants an engine like that lol. you realy need centres for the volks they look much better then.
That is them with the centres :) There meant to look like that :)

Look up Volk GT-C's :)

I thouhgt at first there was a bit missing but theres not. Im planning to change the colour of the wheel centres though so that will help I think, I think they look how they do because theres too much silver :)
HOW DOO MATE you've come along way from the 300bhp black s13 i had off you :D i'm in mr Scottish's old black 32 :) remember driving back from wales on 3 cylinders in my old white s13 lol :D
