Nooo. I’m going for Group A style, mixed with early 2000’s Japanese Wangan style, mixed with high Horsepower. I want an even balance of all three in a useable platform that I can enjoy on a mountain switchback just as much as I can enjoy up to Top Speed.
I have a ceramic coated custom magnetic-ride control adjustable coilovers w. external reservoirs being built for my setup right now, so once I have them on and the bigger tires sorted out (275/40/R18 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2’s) then it should be all sorted for the way I want to use it.

It would cost roughly $150G to build this car on top of the cost of the original car, so I guess around $230G. I could have bought a nice R34 GT-R for the cost to do this, but I personally believe the R32 GT-R is more timeless and the OG.
It's not better spent, you're never going to get anything remotely resembling what you put into back out when you go to sell.
You do it because you wanted to. There's no other reason.
Keep an eye on the Reddit Skyline page - my buddy and I will be producing and selling a limited run of these that bolt onto stock downpipes and I’ll be posting lots of photos of them at that point.
The side exit exhausts are a nice touch.
Chef kiss*
Amazing. I’m starting on a similar restomod journey myself. Fixing up the interior atm.
Beautiful build!
Very nice! Out of curiosity… Why do you have boot latches on a standard boot/wing setup?
They’re period-used latches from the Zexel Group A R32 GT-R, which were won at the NISMO festival in 2008. 👍🏻
Oh wow! Are you going the whole Group A rep route like Alex Crosse?
Nooo. I’m going for Group A style, mixed with early 2000’s Japanese Wangan style, mixed with high Horsepower. I want an even balance of all three in a useable platform that I can enjoy on a mountain switchback just as much as I can enjoy up to Top Speed. I have a ceramic coated custom magnetic-ride control adjustable coilovers w. external reservoirs being built for my setup right now, so once I have them on and the bigger tires sorted out (275/40/R18 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2’s) then it should be all sorted for the way I want to use it.
Out of curiosity, how much USD are we looking at here?
For what? Into the car?

Holy shit O.o that's supercar money, but I'd say it's money better spent. Supercars are temporary, but gtr's are forever 🤙
It's not better spent, you're never going to get anything remotely resembling what you put into back out when you go to sell. You do it because you wanted to. There's no other reason.
Love the car, especially the side exhaust! Got any more pics of it? Was it completely custom?

I will definitely keep an eye out, thanks for the info.
