1992 Nissan Skyline GTS25 non GTR GTST

1992 Nissan Skyline

Freshly imported from Japan myself (stationed over there for 3.5 years). I'm both a mechanic and a mechanical engineer, and have inspected this car thoroughly. I drove it for about 6 months before shipping it here, as I didn't come across a Skyline I like until the end of my tour (time in Japan). I purchased it from a shop in the Yokosuka area, and shipped it to where I was in the Hiroshima area.
VIN: ECR32-008043 (legal import, registered in Mississippi)
This is the GT package of the GTS25, so includes the nicer interior such as the door trim/step panel and the carpeting. It's nearly fully stock, so it's good for someone looking to restore to original, or for someone looking for a no-surprises car to customize and play with.
Body is in amazing shape. No rust, no fake body panels, all original. There's one small ding on the left rear panel somewhere - so small I often forget it's even there. Otherwise the paint is the only thing that I'd redo next. The paint has plenty of life overall, but the hood and the GTR wing/trunk lid (wing in particular) need a re-coat (you can see it's chipping and that the hood has been re-coated in the past, with the top layer starting to chip).
The engine is the RB25DE. That's a 2.5 Liter straight 6 cylinder. It has the same block as the 2.6 Liter found in the GTR models, which attracted me to this car (I am highly considering making this my project car, which is why I'm trying to sell now before I give in!). My plan was to rebuild the engine, boring the block to 2.6 Liters and adding the RB26DETT components back on (means replacing the head and adding turbos.... or, replace the entire powertrain with some custom setup, not necessarily Japanese Domestic Market [JDM], for a major sleeper car).
The transmission is the not-as-popular, but sometimes sought, automatic. It does shift a little hard when its cold from first to second, but not to the extent it needs a rebuild yet. It does fine when it's warm. This auction includes the replacement filter and gasket necessary to replace the filter inside, but if you plan to do what I do, replace it with a 5-speed (the ECU is supposedly separate and makes it an easy job), then there's no point in finicking with the transmission. Otherwise, it drives fine, and I don't hesitate to drive it anywhere, including the 7 hour drive from the port back home I just did a few weeks ago.
This Skyline has the HICAS (all-wheel steering) still in place and functioning great. I didn't notice it's functionality myself until in the Japan mountains one time, and it really feels great in the curves (like your hugging the curve even better if that makes any sense). Note that a lot of Skyline owners appear to remove the HICAS for drifting purposes, so that's up to you, of course.
Windows are all in great condition. The exterior rubber on the rear windshield is peeling back in the top right corner. I spoke to a body shop about doing an entire paint job, and they said that's easily replaced with generic parts that they could do if they paint it. (Again, my own project ideas... I want to repaint the whole body with the GTST parts I'm including - see next)
For the body, the chassis is the same as the GTST models, which look a bit sportier, so I purchased while in Japan the GTST style bumper and side skirts, and picked up a GTR trunk lid and wing from a friend. I've already installed the trunk lid, as it was the same paint code (AH3). See the 2nd to last picture for the extra items that come with the car now, which are the GTST front bumper, side skirts, and 16" O-Z Racing rims; additionally, you can have the stock GTS25 trunk lid (not pictured alone but on the car in the picture with the O-Z wheels mounted) and the stock radio unit. Note that the trunk lid, wheels, and radio head unit are in military "household goods" storage right now, because I recently came back from the military/Japan, but I'll get those to you separately when my storage is released.
Interior is in amazing condition as well. Dash has that bubble that you see often on R32's. It doesn't bother me so I never touched it. If you're restoring, it seems like a common repair on the R32 pages/forums. Otherwise the dash is in great condition, and has all the vents! (Some reason I see a lot of R32 owners looking for vents) The door liners, panels, seats, etc. are in great condition, with no major stains or wear. The vinyl on the A-beams, whatever you call them in the back (support panels going around the rear windows) is starting to peel, so at some point (if you care) they need to be popped off and resealed, re-vinyled, or replaced with aftermarket (I've seen them available). If I start that project myself, I know it'll be harder to sell for me, so I haven't done it yet. They don't look that bad, but just being 100% clear. Finally, the roof liner looks like it was a smoker's car from discoloration, but it doesn't smell and I don't smoke, so might be cleared up with a proper clean.
If you have any other questions/requests/clarification, let me know! If you're nearby, let's set up a time to put it on a lift so you can check it out top to bottom and confirm my description!
