1 1991 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) with HKS 2530 Turbos. Silver Basic Info Registration date 5/1991 Chassis Number BNR Mileage Color Silver OTR Price Detailed description This is a Skyline GT-R of Specification rarely available - and most sought after by people wanting an R32 GT-R with relatively low turbo lag, yet able to give Skyline GT-R Godzilla style performance that will never be found lacking for street use! In terms of "performance per " there's nothing that comes close to this package. It'll blow away so called Supercars whilst having the ability to carry shopping, cruise to work and back each day, or perform on trackdays, where it can be properly unleashed! This example has been prepared by Top Secret. Although not as crazy as some of their wilder products, it's been fettled by one of Japan's most respected tuners - who know Skylines seriously well. For them, a 500 bhp GT-R is just a warm spec! Modifications include: Polished engine cover and a plaque proclaiming "Top Secret Competizione R" tuned. Fitted are HKS 2530 twin turbos, HKS PFC dual induction kit, Apexi Power FC ECU (Ideal for remapping for UK use) complete with remote hand held controller, HKS 555cc injectors with adjustable SARD fuel pressure regulator, uprated fuel pump. Intercooler is also an HKS item. A GReddy/Trust oil cooler is also fitted in combination with a remote oil filter housing. This increases oil capacity as well as providing much needed cooling for a tuned RB26 engine. Of course this car is fitted with an uprated cylinder head gasket. Most likely with spec and power output such as this it also has uprated camshafts, and more - although these are not visible, so we can't be sure. A large bore downpipe is fitted. The catalyst has been replaced with a pipe disguised as a cat (Since it has the standard heat shield attached!) - to give as little back pressure as possible and allow early spooling of turbos (Catalyst is not required in UK MOT for a 1991 GT- R). Exhaust is an HKS two silencer low resistance "Street legal muffler". Boost is stabilised and controlled by an Blitz twin solenoid boost controller, monitored by a Greddy/Trust boost gauge on the left of the steering wheel. There's a nearly new performance twin plate clutch fitted (Likely to 1

2 be HKS) which is progressive in take-up, but is capable of coping with the high speed launches this car's capable of! Brake discs are not heavily used and signs show this car's had very little hard use. Note that the oil has recently been changed and the timing belt was replaced at 65,660km (40,807 genuine miles) on 5th Sept Suspension & Handling: TBO fully adjustable coil overs give firm yet supply suspension and ride, which is comfortable for road use, yet give the car better and more progressive handling with less roll than a Standard R32 GT-R setup would give. Wheels are Volk Racing 17" Challenge Zero forged lightweight alloy fitted with high performance Bridgestone Potenza Grid II sports tyres of size 255/40/ZR17's - all tyres in good condition. Note that Nismo rear suspension arms are fitted, which are stronger than standard and give better geometric stability under hard power. A Tomei front strut brace is fitted as well as a Cusco rear strut brace. Standard equipment includes: Hicas 4WS, Atessa 4WD, ABS, PAS, P/W, Central Locking, remote controlled door mirrors with retract mode, A/C, fitted mats, etc. Auction grade is 1 due to modifications - only. (Auction sheet copy is available). There are some minor dents to the front jacking points -some light damage from having been lifted with a jack in the past (GTR's are notorious for getting this if a full car lift isn't used). Not that GT-R N1 original headlights are also fitted to this example. A very rare and unusual addition! Also fitted are Nismo original bomper - intercooler vents and bonnet lip. These are no longer in production for R32's now - so a welcome and desirable addition which gives the car a more agressive look at the front than standard. The interior is in excellent condition throughout with no faults to report at all. Seats have been replaced with matching Recaro reclinable items, which give greater support than the standard R32 GT-R items. Neatly fitted on the Driver's A pilar is a gauge pod housing GReddy - Trust oil temp & oil pressure gauges. To the left of the steerign wheel is a matching Greddy boost pressure gauge. Note that the standard centre gauge cluster - being redundant has been removed. In it's place is a Blitz Dual Solenoid Boost controller (Currently set to 0.9 Bar of boost). Note also that the switch gear, handbrake lever's gaiter, gear knob, etcc. are all in good unworn condition, with no wear to door panel, etc. In combination with excellent oil pressure, these further confirm the care with which this car's been looked after - but most importantly, of genuine mileage. Exterior condition is generally good, although there are minor faults that will need attention as follows: On the rear n/s corner, there's a small dent as well as scratches to the bumper. The o/s quarter has 3 minor pin dents, as does the front o/s wing. The rear spoiler needs taking off - preparing and repainting, as the supports have some peeling paint. There are also some minor scratches around the o/s/r arch, which the last owner touched in. On the bonnet there's a pin dent. Finally, the front bumper and lip spoiler have some scratches. Each of these minor faults are to be 2

3 repaired as part of UK prep work, but mentioned here to give a complete & accurate description. Note that some of the wheels also have some scratches. Although the rims can be sent off for refurbishing to make them as new (hey can be colour changed also) whilst the car's at our workshop in the UK, we'd recommend leaving them as they are. Scratches are not very easily noticable at all. Test drive: This Skyline R32 GT-R has been ideally prepared UK fast road driving / trackdays. Having test driven this GT-R - it goes very well indeed. Upon starting up, it idles with a slightly lumpy but smooth manner indicative of uprated camshafts. Car feels tight & handles beautifully, supension is slightly harder than standard, but not uncomfortable for road use. Clutch has plenty of progression on take-up, which indicates it's nearly new. Oil pressure starts at nearly 4 kg/mm when cold and stays above 3 kg/mm when warmed - indicating a strong healthy engine! Turbos start to work well from 3,500-4,000 rpm and hold peak boost all the way to the redline with no sign of power tailing off as the rev limit is reached. Making around 450 bhp at just 0.9 bar of boost - so expect around 510 bhp at 1.3 Bar (Please note: We can arrange to have the ECU remapped in the UK by GT Art, one of the most respected specialists and tuners of Andy Barnes' HKS R34 GT-R) which which to enjoy this car's performance to the max. It really needs no other modification - perhaps just cosmetic ones. We'd recommend a full set of carbon leather gaiters to replace the standard ones, plus perhaps some clear or smoked front indicators, which would give this GT-R some classy additions. See for details of components we can supply! Good quality models are also particularly speciual as they're lightest weight of all R32 GT-R's. Needless to say, modifications to the specification this GT-R carries are extremely rare! Improvements total over 10,000 worth of parts only on this car and work has been carried out by one of Japan's leading tuners if not hte most famous of all! Including full UK preparation, paintwork and dent removal repairs for the faults described, MOT, road tax (6 month's), 12 month's comprehensive Motorcare warranty and a full valet to present this car in top condition as it's collected, this GT-T is available for: 11,750 OTR. A deposit of 1,000 secures this GT-R for prompt shipment to the UK. Please Contact us using the inquiry form for further information on how to reserve this R32 or to source an alternative Skyline.

54 How the Newera System Works (1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or communication, so that we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required. (2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can find, plus a set fee of 900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the corresponding saving. (3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if applicable). The deposit is usually 1,000. If you want a car worth over 10K OTR, then the deposit is 1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan. (4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via periodically whilst searching for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed, though it frequently costs less. (5). As soon as available, we will you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK. (6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton). 54

55 We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately 60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at all times prior to you collecting it. (7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing, to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition. (8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing, registraton etc. (9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs. (10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA tested & MOTd (If applicable). All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is fully valetted just before you collect it. (11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate. N.B.
