Learning to drive RHD doesn't take very long, couple of hours.

Most people have no clue what a skyline is. In my opinion, the 32 is the most stealthy of the lot. A few people recognise and freak out, but that is very rare.

I am in the process of building an engine at the moment. When that goes in, so will a big single. Probably very similar to Nick's setup. His car is where I want mine to be when it's finished. Over 600 at the wheels. You should check out his site. It's the way all cars should be, it's no show pony.

If you are going to heavily mod your car, don't waste your money on a Vspec. The only differences on a 32 are: Brembo's, 17" wheels and a different ATTESSA ECU. The 33 and 34 have the active LSD, the 32 doesn't. Personally, I don't like it or the Hicas system. I already removed it from mine.

The stock engine can handle 500 to the wheels, provided it is in good shape and your other systems are up to snuff.

Learning the GT-R is a long process here in the US. Be patient and ask questions. There are a number of good forums out there with a lot of Skyline specific content like Skylinesdownunder. Beware of Freshalloy, lots of trolls and haters, but search the archives and there is some good info.
