Looks like the steering wheel has some wear but other than that it looks good man! I've always liked the look of white r32's with black or bronze wheels. Good choice!

Thanks! Yeah I'm not worried about the wheel being worn, as I actually have this left over from my old car:



I think gold or bronze wheels will be the eventual choice at some point. I'm not gonna worry about it right away as the R33 wheels are a decent size for now.

I think it will only be a matter of time
All RB26s seem to be cursed with it

Other than the steering wheel and quick release( I just edited the post above cause I forgot the photo) nothing major. I'll probably do an intake and tune up, and probably replace most of the the suspension arms this year. I'm thinking I might do coils and the driftworks lockout and arm kit and then just enjoy it for a little while, but who knows

Small little update:

My HKS intercooler hard piping and Greddy Y-pipe came in on Friday.



I snagged them from leeaspin (used obviously).
The plan is to sand and paint the pipes, which I've already started
Won't be anything flashy, probably just wrinkle black.

Looks like a sweet kit. I would powder coat though man its a little extra but I've never regretted it. There's wrinkle too

Just had this done in Edmonton , if your interested I'll pm u his number

What kinda money did you pay for it? The reason I'm thinking of painting is cost saving for now, and then powder coating later if I keep the kit/don't have other things to buy.

I'm not too sure what he charges, each piece is different, depending size, color, a lot of variables, I painted a set just like that, it's hard to stic, chips off, maybe if u had them sandblasted first, the paint would stick better

Small update (again) :

Pulled the trigger on some parts today, and might order a few more things tonight/this weekend if I have time.

Ordered the 4 Arm kit for the BNR32 from Driftworks, and some rear arm upper/lower bushings, and some Neochrome lugs.



I ordered it mostly because of the hicas eliminator kit, and figured it was worth the extra money to just get all the arms as well.
Personally it's my favorite of all the options, and looks the cleanest.


(an idea of what it should look like installed)

Well, big update for today. The car arrived at the shipping yard today, and I picked it up.
I didn't take many pictures ( aka more than one), mostly because the weather was really shitty, and the car is still really dirty.



I took it home, and got my DRL's wired up, and my high mount installed, and am pretty much ready for my OOP. Probably going to get that all organized tomorrow, and hopefully have it plated for the weekend.

My first impression of the car is exactly what I had hoped for: falling in love. Everything on the car is in fantastic to immaculate shape. New belts, newish air filter, no major grim built up anywhere, and everything is solid. Suspension is in excellent shape, so I'll probably be selling off the struts when my coilovers get here, as they are still in awesome shape/nice and stiff.

I can't wait to get it plated, cleaned up and take some awesome photos to show off ( oh, and drive it of course )
