Hey, ReSuperG. I saw your R32 back in 2017 when I lived in Florida at the Deerfield car meet by the Buffalo Wild Wings. That was one of the nicest looking Nissan Skyline R32 GTR I have laid my eyes upon, and I usually prefer the gunmetal grey color for the R32s. I still have a picture of your car on my phone. A lot of the R32s in the US seem to be trashed up. Did you paint the car yourself?
Welcome Stuart! That R33 looks really nice in that color and looks like it was taken care of!
Very nice car! And you are right, the Americans are really crazy with these imports. I was looking at buying a 944 I had my eyes on back in 2013, when they were selling for less than $5,000 USD. Now they have skyrocketed due to things like media, youtubers, shows, etc. I hope you enjoy that car and take good care of it!
Name's Tommy, I come from the United States of America. I have been a Skyline fan for as long as I can remember... sadly i currently do not item a Skyline but I am looking into it. If anyone had any ideas about how hard it would be to get one or how much it will hurt my wallet, it would be greatly appreciated. !!We've never had a dedicated Newbie forum, but it might be nice to have a thread for the new guys to say "Hi" on.
Perhaps tell us a bit about you and your car. And don't forget to start your Garage in the link above. You might find it takes a while for some features (images) to become active, but it's worth the wait.
Welcome to the family!

Hi RicD,Hi all.
Been a dreamer since the age of 20. Started with 350z GT4 which was played around with for years, forged and other bits.
Went to and Audi s6 as I got married and had a kid.
Now at 36 I earn enough money to join the GTR club.
Today I purchased my dream car, brand new 20 plate black prestige. ABSOLUTELY BUZZING! Got 10 days until pickup. Gonna be a loooong 10 days.
Any advice for looking after her is welcome. First job is probably some sort of PPF so any recommended companies for this for example would be helpful. I’m near Peterborough.
Thanks for the Newbie page and look forward to wading through all the posts!

Hi KyanHi RicD,
The GTR looks fantastic, brilliant choice of spec! I just so happen to run a detailing company called BlackRiverDetails just outside Petersfield so I can give you some recommendations for detailers that I would trust myself that aren't too far away from you. My first choice would be Ultimate Finish based just outside of the Brands Hatch race circuit the second pick would be White Details which is slightly closer to you just outside Lincoln.
Ultimate Finish: XPEL ULTIMATE Plus Paint Protection Film (PPF)
White Details: Contact - White Details
Also I know you're itching to get behind the wheel but I would highly recommend that you have the car transported in an enclosed transporter to your detailer of choice to get it detailed and PPF'd before you put any miles on it, that way there's no risk of the car picking up any stone chips or scratches before it reaches the detailer. I've had some new Audi's and BMW's in recently for detailing work and they were peppered with stone chips on the lower sills, wheel arches and lower portions of the door along with some on the front bumper. This is on cars that only had a couple thousand miles on them! The new water based paints that manufacturers are using seems to be getting thinner and softer from what I've seen.
Let me know if you any detailing related questions, I'd be happy to help
Kyan Jogoo,
