Mike Valencia's R32 GTR Build thread "Tanya"
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:

Really been enjoying this car a lot recently, now that I have the plates and registration sticker I drive it whenever I want. Here are a few shots im posting here in my thread so they'll stay here if I ever need to look for them again. All these pics were taken by other people not myself.
Here are a few that were taken up at the local Ricer Wednesday meets
And here's a bit of Survey/GTR action
And these were taken up at the Wheels for Adam charity event at the Sugarland Town Center

Got my wheels for the VR4 and the GTR!
The black ones are for the VR4 and they are Work Meister S1 3-piece in 18X8.5 +37
And the other ones are Nismo LMGT1's made by Rays Engineering in 18X9.5 +14 aka "GTR Size"
Big thanks to Garage Nowin for the wheels.
