Many of you all may have seen/met Brad at the drag strips. He's known around here for his 11.02 twin turbo 300zx and his Z shop in B'ham. This guy knows his stuff. Anyway, I just got back from his house to snap a couple of pics and go for a ride in his newly purchased RB20 powered Nissan Skyline! I love it! I figured I'd share a few pics with you guys! He's had it for about a week or so now, but today was my first time setting my eyes on this rare beauty. It's got some nice mods on it as well with several of them pictured not to mention the RB26 swap is on the way shortly!

Very HOT...R32s and R34 are my favorite of all time. Is it "legalized"? How much did he paid for it? Will he be selling the rb20?

Damn good looking car. What is the going rate for one in that condition?

He got it here for just over $13k. He is going to register it as a kit car. Long story, but it should work. That's how many people tend to register them here. Legalizing a car like that as is could run over $12-$13k.

I agree that R32's are some of the hottest cars ever. And I am actually talking about the skyline and not the VW R32.

Hmmm, plain, simple, unriced...just the way I like it. Clean car.
I'll never be able to own one because I'll never be able to figure out how to shift with my left hand :O

LAWLZ... it is odd to try and imagine doing that... at least the pedals are in the same place though, that would be a bitch if they were mirrored
Awwww.... "carbon fiber" autozone gas pedal FTL.

The first time is a bitch, but it actually feels quite natural. What sucks is the rear view mirror being on the left hand side and the windshield wipers going the opposite way. Blind spots out the ass to. I caught myself many times looking at the JDM driver side A-Pillar trying to lookin the rear view mirror. The control levers for the windshield wipers and blinkers are opposite as well. The headlights point up and into oncoming traffic so you are constantly being flashed to turn off your brights if you don't adjust them. Also the stunna position feels awkward...

U just gotta lean the other way....lol
Also are the way the gears are setup the same right??My thing I would worry about is going through the gears and slamming that thing into R. Bc with me when I power/speed shift, I kinda pull the shifter towards me, I know thats bad and it can lead to goin to 2nd instead of 4th but thats the way I am. Knock on wood and havent done that yet but caught myself a few times almost doing that. Hope ur fren has fun with it. I think my buddy up here in ATL has a R33.

Yeah the gears are the same, and it really isn't that awkward just gotta be careful the first couple of times.

He told me the gears etc...didn't bother him one bit...it was the turn signal lever that fucks him up haha!

Yea whenever I've been in Australia or Japan... always turning the wipers on instead of the turn signals. Everything else you seem to acclimate to, but not the goddam turn signal lever!
