Last month, I found a cute, all terrain !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! online, and I'm glad 80% of the voters like to...MOVE IT! It's been a while since the last post, so let's start over with the cycle with this timeless Jap, the R32 Nissan Skyline.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
The Skyline nameplate does not need an introduction. Throughout its life, this model turned from an understated executive saloon to a wild BMW 3-series fighter. The R32 was the most significant chassis code as it reintroduced the "GT-R" version from the Boxy and Kenmeri era. It brought back the fanbase it deserves, and the Skyline was the most popular sports car coming out of Japan...until it reverted into a business mobile and rebadged for USA as the Infiniti G-series. Everyone from America wanted to wait for it to be 25 years old to be able to obtain this piece of machinery, but since Godzilla is very pricey, more likely you'll end up in the GTS, a single-turbo, rear-wheel-drive two-door.
Description's very short.
5-speed [manual]
power window
power door locks
dropped exhaust
gold rims (not seen though)
124k miles
nice sounds system
Likes: Manual, two-door configuration, rear-wheel-drive!
Dislikes: Mid-spec GTS, RB20DET
So, would you still buy this even if it's not Godzilla?

I voted NP because I'm thinking it's unmolested.

FYI, an RB20 can be made quite powerful. With a bore and cylinder sleeves, you can very quickly close the gap between the engines, and it has the same big-displacement (3 liters +) potential as the RB25.
You can even forgo the crank and rods and end up with a high-rev RB24. The "big" difference wasn't between the RB20 and the RB25, it was between the RB25 and the RB26.
If anything, this car is perfect for someone who wants a RWD Skyline "GT-R" and has some RB25 parts lying around. Usually to convert a GT-R to RWD, you have to to go find a GTS transmission and drivetrain to stick under it.
NP all of the way.

One could always swap in a hotter motor or just turn the boost up.
It might not be my choice for a daily driver...but talk about a 'real driver's car' you don't see everyday.
I flagged an R33 GTR down on Long Island at a light to ask questions and basically just say 'nice car' - I rarely ever do that, probably just jealousy, but I gave that guy props. You don't just stumble on one, or if you do, you're one lucky bastid.

Do grey imports from right hand drive countries have to be converted to left hand drive for the Philippines?

Yes, yes they do.
