Few things in the manual that catch my eye are the conditions to drive your vehicle. The most obvious is don’t have alcohol before or after driving! Hmmm an Italian breed of a car saying this, must be the American model manual. Another one in the “when traveling” section is they say, “Good personal physical conditions ensure you can drive long distances safely.” So basically don’t black out and wake up and drive, lose weight if you are panting for air, and smoking kills.

Other nonsense in the manual for US 599’s are Californias claim of random exhaust gases that are canrcinogenic. Seriously all those damn people getting plastic surgery and tanning is worse than a man/woman driving their Ferrari once or twice a week for 10-100 miles!

R32 WEEK: TOP SECRET DAY 3

LOST OF TUNERS HAVE TAKEN THE GTR TO THE EXTREME, BUT NON OTHER THAN ONE OF MY FAVORITES DOES A GOOD JOB AT IT. THIS TUNING COMPANY IS TOP SECRET. THEY MADE A VQ32 ENGINE FOR THE GTR R32. SOME MAY SAY THEY ARE CRAZY FOR TAKING A LEGEND FOR SURGERY , BUT I THINK IT’S VERY INNOVATIVE. HOWEVER IF IT WERE THE BNR34 I MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE BIT INDIFFERENT.

WHATEVER THE CASE, THIS CAR IS NOW REAR WHEEL DRIVE AND READY TO POUNCE ON THE NEXT PASSERBY. IT HAS A MODEST POWER BAND OF 350BHP & 286 FTLBS OF TORQUE. THE ENGINE COMES FOR THE Z33 NATIONS VQ35DE, AGAIN DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER BUT I AGREE THE RB26 SHOULD HAVE STAYED.

R32 GTR: Revival of a Legend

In 1989 Nissan brought back the GTR logo to the R32 Skyline, the GTR emblem was tucked away for 16 years and now it was time for it to see the light again. That logo has now been praised internationally by people who didn’t even know the car existed, this is all thanks to the R35 GTR.

In 1989 this legend wipped the competition in the early 90’s in Japanese race tracks and also in some European competitions–Spa 24 hours. A 2.4 Liter I6 Twin Turbo Engine pushing 280bhp, was thundering in Japan and came overseas shocking supercar companys that didn’t consider it in their league. The R35 is a definite innovative replica of the R32.
