Mike Valencia's R32 GTR Build thread "Tanya"
9 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, it's about time I start the build thread for my newly acquired 1990 Gun Metal Grey R32 Nissan Skyline GTR.
I found this car through Rivsu Imports, it was someone's personal car who worked for Rivsu so I got kinda lucky and got him to sell it to me. Anyways the car is pretty Mint condition and is very lightly modded just like I wanted, it has a slew of Nismo parts, Mines tuned ECU, cat back exhaust system etc etc, and to top it off it has only 79,320 miles! With working a/c too, I'm so thankful for it! I've waited a long time for this car to come into my life, ever since I was a kid, I knew one day that I would have one. And now that I have the privilege to finally own one I am soo honored and thankful for this opportunity to enjoy such an amazing piece of iconic Japanese history! I've already paid for her and named her "Tanya", I figured since the car is already there and they have the original paint there in stock I might as well get them to paint match the un painted oem front lip and repair a small blemish on the fender as well. So I have to wait till that is finished before I can pay to have her transported here to Houston texas. Lookin like she will be here in about a week or two. I can't wait!! Anyways Here are the pics of her: Attachment 1601 Attachment 1602 Attachment 1603 Attachment 1604 Attachment 1605 Attachment 1606 Attachment 1607 Attachment 1608 Attachment 1609 |

Well she's out of the paint booth from getting the front lip paint matched to the rest of the car and had to fix a small ding on the fender. She'll be here in Houston on or before April 18th! =)

Well as some of you may or may not know, I attended a once a year event called the Skyline Nationals last weekend and it's held basically in Dallas. Skylines from all over the country drive out to this all weekend event. Friday is the meet and greet/dinner, and saturday was coffee and cars Dallas then the rest of the day was a Dyno day. Then sunday was a big cruise. Then monday was the track day, time Attack style. I had the best weekend in a very long time. Having all them skylines together was a record for us here in the states. We had 20 skylines show up to Dallas coffee and cars.
I'd like to thank JT Burnside and all of the others that made this epic weekend possible. I foresee this getting bigger and bigger every year with all the skylines we got coming into the U.S. Anyways I can't wait till next years event, here's all the pics. The awesome rolling shots of all of us were taken by Cassey Bernstein. Here's the group that came from Houston including myself. Attachment 1545 Fuelin up!
