As I took a look at the small, but satisfying Fatlace One of One Car Show at Formula D New Jersey, I was on the lookout for cool cars to spotlight – fitting with the monthly theme and all.
I found a few interesting cars, and the first was this dramatically low R32 Skyline.
Aside from the fact that any R32 is a rarity on our side of the border, this car jumped out at me with a perfect rough and ready street car vibe. Check the zipties keeping the GT-R bumper together.
And then there's the stance. Dropped low on a set of Work XD9's with stock bodywork. Such a good look on what is one of the best Japanese car designs ever.
The sticker says it all.
The rear view, wingless with a fat pipe popping out of the bumper.
Perhaps you've heard of this site?
In the end, all you can do is admire the sexy lines, and if you are a Yankee like me, be envious of our neighbors to the north…

The 32s are the sexiest Skylines ever in my book. WOW! Never thought I'd say this about an AWD car, but that car looks really fantastic slammed.
gorgeous. that victory pipe says it all
thats just beatiful
Thats sexy
Rly beautiful r32, awesome !
Rly beautiful r32, awesome !
more pics of the 32 sedan on meister S1's behind the coupe!!!!
This isn't a GT-R, its a GTS-T with a GT-R bumper and hood, thanks for the article and the comments guys,never tought it would made the car spotlight!
I have a chance to ride this amazing r32. and all i can say is... Wow
love this, love stock body, love the wheels
@ jj's... if i'm not mistaken its a r32 gts-t which is rwd... still a cool car though and i wish i could own one. i like the 4 door skyline next to it too!
Driving a car that low on New Jersey roads? Brave. I drove my Miata track car to NJ once... had to buy two new Koenig rims when I got home.
so fresh. all it needs now is a 32 gtr spoiler and its basically perfect.
should do a feature on the white 32 next to this one.
i see R32's pretty often (i'm one of your neighbours to the north ;)), but i can't remember ever seeing one with such a powerful stance, or a wingless one. Red is also a colour I don't see often here in Ontario, it's mostly black, some white and a rare few silver. I really like this one!
.
Also a few years ago (2006?) a buddy of mine had one of the first legal R32s here in Ontario, it was also missing a turn signal haha
other than that exhaust i REALLY like this car!
LOL there a dim a dozen in Australia nothing really special about this
Sick, you sir, just made is day ! Just called him.. his car is so sick !
nice fitment...love the simplicity looks
What the big deal , these car are a everywear down hear in NZ . And that tiny little pipe looks Half-assed . Over-all this car is average . i could see better in a quick trip around ChCH .
How'd this person get a R32 into the states? It's my favorite car, I'd like to import one in the future. I thought a car had to be older than 25 years to be imported into the states without needing crash test info?
needs spacers and a roll. the white 4-door looks better.
^^^ because not everyone, including the author of the post isn't from NZ....
It a super car I saw it in real in my town pure sex, and ill see again and again
uhh.. no thanks.
poor battered R32 with tacky 'trendy' mods and no ride height. Deliberately neglecting what looks to be an otherwise neat car is just a shame. As a car it misses the point, and as a piece of art it is just things i have seen before on a different chassis.
I dropped my R32 that low, then when the upper control arm was slamming into the shock towers on every bump i raised it 10mm and it rides like a dream.
This is one heckuva sick-rad car. Loving the exhaust pipe.
And it's nice to think that Canada is good for something, hahaha!
That is the best street legal stateside R32 that I've seen. Thanks Mike!
Man, I love the look of zip-ties holding together a car...great "Frankenstein" vibe, haha.
WALLPAPERSSSSS WE NEEEEEED THEMS
That's a nice R32. How'd the owner manage to get this imported in the states? I would really like to own a R32 in the future. I thought a car has to be older than 25 years old in order to be imported without a crash test? Any with info willing to help.
Oh look at me, i drive an old pos japan knew was obsolete 10 years ago.
Awesome R32 I like a lot
The r32 was from canada not the US. My Toyota Soarer was in the showcase too. Any chance on a feature of it?
Such a brilliant car RUINED by that exhaust
SUCE MOI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
car looks cool.. - i like it... nice colour..
what he said
@Fred Ranno:
Makes sense. I was confused because zip tie stitching and slammed stance aren't really part of the AWD scene. While one or the other is not necessarily indicative of drift, put both elements together and it's probably true.
stupid aussies/anyone else bitching how this car is average.
'
dont you get it. R32s NEVER CAME TO AMERICA SO feow OFF
Fitment is Hellaflush which I love!
Ride height and poke out flute exhaust look sic!
Slammed R32 for sure!
Dramatically low Skyline is dramatically low
And it IS a best design ever!
the whole day i was there(and ever sence) ive been thinking about how that car is here and that wassent the only skyline there where 3(i think) 32s that had jersy plates and ispection stickers and im just wondering how its legal
I own the Civic parked in the background and when I saw this car I couldn't help but think it just had character!
nz has way better skidders than that one
its got a japanese number plate so it must be legal in japan only . . .
whats the deal with the right hand drive? im not from the states but keen to bring over my corolla thats right hand drive.Will i have to change it to left?its a '77
Not to worry. In 7 years everyone will be able to import R32's.
Its from Canada guys, that plate is placed over the owners plate.

What the hell, most of you are dumbasses. The car is from Canada. It's not legal in the states. It was driven down for the show by its Canadian owner. Also, all you aussies and new zealanders are dumb, the car was never sold in the states and is hard as hell to get one into the states permanently. As such, Americans get excited when they see one.
as ceballos the great stated, this car is Quebec plated. i see a few people thinking this is state legal...unfortunately not. boy do i feel for you guys
Wait, 1989 models will be able to be imported in 4 years right?
I seven years, I'll be 30. I'm going to import one from here! http://www.global-auto.ne.jp/stock/public_model_home.php?model=BNR32
Here is a good site that may help with the importation process, they have a good list of cars also. http://drifttuners.com/
can we get some wallpapers
