- Nissan's beloved R32 Skyline is now old enough to be imported into the US, but is it worth it? The guys enjoy the Right-Hand-Drive madness of a GTS-4 and discuss the car, the owner, and the pros and cons of bringing in a classic.
Thanks for watching. More Fast Blasts and Long-terms on the way.

I like these fastblasts better than the tv show because it seems like a no nonsense/dramatic music/extrastuff that you guys don't need. I enjoy all your guys' content but the stripped down stuff, just you guys and a car, is what i like best.
Exactly my feeling too. That's why I enjoy channels like Smoking Tire and Nick Murray. There's no fluff - just the cars. Davide Cironi Drive Experience has VERY good content too. You just have to wait a little for him to do english subs after the videos are released as he speaks italien.
I'm so glad you guys loved the car and felt the same way about it that I did! I know it's been a year, but I watched the video when it first came out and have been rewatching it all this time because it always brings a smile to my face. And yeah, the 4-wheel drive and steering really help when you're using the car as a daily during the Utah winters!
I like your car kaz
Lucky guy, first car an R32. I trust he loves it and is very grateful. Would love to have an R32 someday.
Its my dream car
I had a one of these in Japan. Was a blast to drive with boost up and suspension upgrades!
which motor does this have? rb20det? or is it a rb25det
RB20DET
Gotta laugh. I drive a 1998 VW Jetta TDI. It has more road feel than today’s Porsches and Beemers. I am not kidding. Sure it is not ‘fast’ in the sense, but you know what .... It pulls rather nicely (stick shift) and before I know it, the car is doing fifty or sixty. No drama, just goes. BTW all that BS from about the pollution hacked software, just bs. Sorry, but you will not convince me that my little Jetta, which gets fifty MPG, POLLUTES more than a full sized American pickup truck with a Diesel engine. Just ain’t so.
the single most "frustrating/funny" thing when switching from LHD to RHD are the blinker/wipers controls.
Craig Bishop that's true, in the UK, people also get frustrated.
Fun video and a nifty car. Any enthusiast who grew up playing Gran Turismo on the Playstation back in the day probably has a huge soft spot for the Skyline and I would love to drive one some day. Congrats to Kaz on a very cool first car.
Love that generation of cars. One of my favorite cars I owned is a 1992 prelude with the accord f23 engine. So glued to the road
I miss my last car (1995 Mazda MX6 V6, ford probe gt cousin) even tho that car was fwd, it was a blast. rare car, minor rust for the age and will never forget it. I wish my 2011 Impreza 2.5i had the connection that did. MX had all the goodies, FD RX7 wheels, bigger brakes, wider tires, coilovers, headers, short throw shifter, exhaust. That car really would make one feel special.
I'm in a really similar situation here, but with a JDM 300ZX Twin Turbo (Fairlady Z) as my first car. As long as the engine is healthy, throwing on a set of coilovers and good tires transforms the driving experience into something that is simply unattainable with modern cars. It also makes your parents freak out because it was built before USB ports or air bags were a thing!
It's so funny thinking about how we constantly crave and wait for manufacturers to make cars that have more communicative brakes and steering - how we want them to make exhausts that make the engines sound better. How we want them to make special models of their cars that give us more driver involvement. It is all there for us if we just go back to older cars. I get why a Jaguar XK-R or a Porsche 911 turbo S is fun. It's just that a Peugeot 205 gti from the nineties or something similar can provide just as much driving pleasure and only for a fraction of the price.
Jonas Rosenven only in video games you can have that. Car makers make cars that avg people drives. Road communication is a big no no.
Excellent cinematography on this one. Light dusting of snow in the fall. Perfect.
That comment from 2:20-2:30 is what I’ve been feeling for years. I would honestly go out of my way to buy a car that is built simply but with the utmost quality and focus on a pure uninterrupted driving experience. Refreshing video. Thank you.
You could've bought Integra Type R, here in the states. No need to import.
I’m a local Utah resident with a lightly modified 1992 GT-R. Any interest in using it for an episode?
Send us an email... EverydayDriverTV@gmail.com We'd love to discuss it. Thanks for watching!
What road is this?
Craig Daly same except the owning Gtr part
You guys have some seriously awesome roads to drive over in Utah. I'm a bit jealous.
That's an amazing first car. Quite a challenge, but a great first car to have.
My first was a 96 4Runner with 150K Miles on it.
I will tell you why people love the Skylines and why they have a cult following....1. They are fast, modern car fast. 2. They are right hand drive and quite rare to see on a daily basis. 3.They are turbocharged screamers. 4. They are well built and sound awesome. 5. They make you feel like Brian O' Conner from The Fast and The Furious films.
Respect for the owner for this crazy plan :)
Oh snap! Skyline video!!!
reminds me of my 2001 accord LX. 260,000km, but still a beast. 4 cylinders of excellence
Quick conversion I use for Kph to Mph. Round to nearest 10 kph and cut the speed in half 160/2=80, next add 1 Mph for every 10 kph of the starting kph, 160/10=16 so 16+80=96. Finally, add 1 mph for ever 50 kph of the starting kph, 160/50=(roughly)3 so 96+3=99 mph.
The 335i of the skyline family lol
it just looks neat has great capability to be tuned great engine sound
Less than 10 grand? What a steal.
75 mph is about 120 kph. 160 kph is about 100 mph
Great video, Kaz is a friend of mine and he has by far the coolest car of all my friends.
how did he find it so cheap? I paid almost 10k for my 100k mile 350z lol
King Lumpy I don't know what importer he went through. But he did buy it straight from Japan so no markup.
Had them in Australia since 1989
Ah yes. 5 years ago when these cars were worth reasonable numbers. Smart kid to buy when he did and for $10k…that’s a deal. Hope he still has it
First car? Damn he is a lucky guy.
Hope you guys get a chance to drive the Q60, or god willing the next-gen Z whenever Nissan stops screwing around,
BigHeadClan my first car a teen was $20000aud , I paid cash
Ben Chesterman very nice 2002 altima 3.5se for me. About 9K, suprisingly fun car to drive.
Lol.That's my current first car. Albeit it's a bit of a beater. But hey. can't complain for 1.5k
BigHeadClan wrx my fist car
Ben Chesterman that too is a pretty sweet first car especially at that price.
Subaru's hold their value really well out here was looking at a wrx before I settled on a g37.
I'll be bringing my 95 33 GT-R V-Spec to Syracuse, NY next July, You're welcome to have a toss with it.
Exhilarating review of a truly landmark automobile. Quite rare these days where reviewers spend so much time talking about cup holders.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
I mean the only manufacturer that really offers all wheel steering at affordable price points is Acura with their Precision All Wheel Steering but the market definitely doesn’t seem interested at all.
2:05 I have that exact same sony minidisc headunit in my 300zx!
4 wheel steering - Reason why they don't do it anymore:
1. Disorienting
2. More parts to manufacture
3. More parts to fail
4. Most people that had it (mainly 300zx owners) tore all that out or disabled it.
Now its time you review a FD RX-7
I wish you guys produce more often
The closest 'modern' Nissan in to any of the original Skylines is either a 350Z or a G35 manual not the Q50. And that's how Nissan shat all over their heritage. With their poor build quality right now.
It used to be that if you wanted a Nissan you'd buy a Nissan. Nowadays, if you want a Nissan, you might wanna opt for Toyota or Subaru. Heck even Mazda is nicer than Nissan nowadays.
(of course the Nismo GT-R is a modern masterpiece but not for us average Joe racers).
Toyota has always been better 👀
16 years old and "less than 10k"...I can only speculate how he could afford this at this age. Nonetheless, a great vehicle. Would be amazing if you could review an R33 and R34 as well in order to speak about the differences and if they still feel like the R32.
rich parents if I had to guess not sure how a 16-year-old child could manage to get 10k I'm more confused on how they managed to find a R32 for 10k spill your secrets
Is it 4 wheel drive as well as 4 wheel steering. GREAT SHOW. THANK YOU!!
Nice watch pairing, Paul
today cars have sharped lines like in the 50's and 60's
Nissan knows how to make a tail end, jesus!
I dont think any manufacturer has lost it's engineering prowess in terms of road feeling, I think the cars are more made for sheer performance which is tailored towards less road feeling. More precise faster steering? Electric. etc. You get the idea
The steering feel of modern vehicles is more numb, which is BAD... when compared to vehicles like the Skyline. Road feel is very important when it comes to driving vehicles at their limits. If you can't "feel" what the front tires are doing, you won't know when they are about to let loose, so it makes it really hard to drive fast. I am not talking about economy front wheel drive cars, like Honda Civics, or Toyota Camrys... Those are expected to be numb and poor steering feel. There are so few $30k or less performance/sports cars that drive like a Skyline... well maybe the FRS/BRZ/GT86 for steering feel not power... Anything with a decent power to weight has crappy steering feel for the $30K or less price tag.
+MasterMech77 exactly my point
Rathanak Vlogs
Unless I am missing something, your comment says "modern cars are engineered for sheer performance with is tailored towards less road feel". Of course I am paraphrasing your comment... but the point is, your comment is very contradictory, you are saying modern cars have less road feel because they have better performance... That is all wrong, you don't engineer in less road feel to make the car higher in performance. They engineer in less road feel, the average person, does NOT want to feel the road. The Average person that can afford a high performance vehicle are not the type of person to drive those cars hard, they buy they because they can afford them, and use the car for a status symbol.
Can you do the evo 8/9 the ct9a chassis ?
I wish if you tried the R32 GTR you would really enjoy
13,000 kilometers? It should feel knew it practically is
What I was thinking
13k on the clocks,I'd say its done way more than that though unless the person who owed it only drove to there local shop with it for the last 25 years 😂
Unless the rear-wheel-steer is dramatically different to my R33 GTS-T, then... you didn't feel it. Because it's a very binary thing - it's on or off. It only turns on when you get more than about half a G lateral and on-throttle, and when it happens it feels like you've lost the back end. You haven't - stay in the power and the rear steps out about two feet and then stops and grips and it's an amazing feeling - like a mini drift.
The "extra" agility you were talking about - that's just natural good engineering, not the rear-wheel-steer. Ferrari and Porsche (and Renault!) have elegant subtle systems. The Skyline... nah - on or off.
I've seen R32 GTR, R33 GTR, and R34 GTR near my house in NYC. Looked great, someone offered me the R33 GTR for $38k, I wouldn't do it. Heard a lot of tranny issues due to people driving them like drag race cars. Would much prefer a warranty.
2,500,000 yen in Japan with high miles
no way this is 13000km. We got these in Canada way before the states and over 75% of them are rolled back.
Forget about the plastics or whatever I want a gtr !!
Kinda sad. If that amazing R32 is Kaz' first car it could be all downhill going forward.
That's not a stock car - the GTR steering wheel is not factory, the gauge cluster has been removed and or replaced, same with center 3, the white backing is aftermarket - the KM's are suspect, still couldn't be more than 150k tho - the dash shows higher Km's edit: that hand brake leaver('Parking brake'/'e-brake') shows wear closer to 80-120,000 kms. The front bar is GTR-like copy and bonnet are not factory sujest it's had front accent repair - but sounds like drives ture so must be good repair/minor damage. Aftermarket shift knob - probably short throw too. Worth noting I'm pretty sure the GTS-4 does not have the GTR AWD system - very similar but the R32 GTR has different box, in the same way, an r33 GTR and Stagea (RB engined skyline like station/sports wagon based the Nissan Laurel platform) AWD almost the same but they are not. If you've read this far you deserve a fun fact the R32 also came out as a 1.8L 4 door econo-box, and were used as taxis just like many other sedans made by other auto makers.
160 kilometers is 99mph but just round it off to a 100mph
Why the hussle? Because it was simply THE BEST of its area.
Love this shi cleanest skyline 😻
I like it.
i would love to see if you guys can follow up with a r33 and r34!
good luck finding them..
They are not legal to import yet, once they are then they will be all over the place. I know I will be purchasing the R32 GTR soon and the R33/R34 GTR as they becomes available. YES there are examples of R33 and R34 in the states now, but they fall under certain restrictions and exemptions, and are limited to about 5K miles a year.
i dont think the mileage limitation will matter. these cars are bought by collectors or as sunday cars. not daily drivers. they have been stateside in 1 form or another for well over a decade
ribs Rtuil
The millage restriction most certainly plays a factor in the availability for reviewing a vehicle like the R33/R34. The issue is, the owners that are not driving them to keep the millage extremely low, are not going to hand the keys over to some TH-cam content creator. Then the ones that actually do drive their vehicle are very limited on how many miles they can actually drive them... SO again, they are not just going to hand over the keys to someone to burn up more miles. Really the best way to be able to review these cars would be to take a trip to a location that has them readily available to drive. You can rent R33/R34 in Japan for the day/weekend/week.... would be a really fun to see also.
i think youre underestimating how much car guys like to share their rides and have them featured in articles and videos to show off.
Too high off the ground especially in the back. But bring cars like this back!!
This is the stock ride height. It is exaggerated a little by the narrow body and skinny tires.
Max Goldberg, BSME
Not sure you understand the GTS-T/GTS-4/GTR all sit about that high up from the factory... That is the standard factory suspension, ride height.
Why dont you guys every get the real thing? Reminds me of when you got the GT ND Miata without an LSD and called it soft...
wow where did the owner get that sick 4 inch lift kit for an r32
That's factory ride height. The skinny tires and narrow body exaggerate the ride height a bit.
My daydreams for the Skyline start at the R34....I just like the R34 better.
R34 is a pig compared to R32. Any GTR purist will vote R32 GTR over R34. Unless you go for special edition R34s.
Vision33r I'm not a "purist" so ,yeah, R34.
Audiwan Kenobi
Please don't let the movies influence your choice... the R34 is heavier, slower, and larger when compared to the R32... PLUS once the R34 becomes available to buy in the United States, they are going to sell for well over $50k or more, because of all of the movie hype on them.
I'm one of those nutters that actually prefers the R33. Goldilocks, in my opinion. Not too wayward on the design, still blindingly quick, doesn't have the same faults as the R32. The only problem now is that unlike about 5 years ago even the R33 is now commanding quite a large sum of money.
I know it's a little off topic but are you guys supporting Romney for senate????
The new Renault Megane R.S. has got four-wheel-steering.
Well too bad we can not get Renault in the States.
i would like to know how he got THAT in under 10 grand whats is his secret tell me
160km hr / 100mph
I like a non GTR without GTR body kits.
Hows driving rhd?
I want to import a R33 but what worries me is finding parts for it if something goes wrong.
The R32 is great an all... but it’s Z32 for me. 😁
* you mean ZC32S - Suzuki Swift Sport ;)
Hell yeah.
My first car was a black 2+2 t-top right hand twin turbo z32 manual.
I’ll never forget that car, still have the titanium key for it.
Z32 is such a perfect looking car.
ST185 GGGGGG
Were you really doing 100 mph?
That's not the original dash cluster, no way it only has 13k on it.
13k???
thats new
sahiel5 especially in kilometers
why the reviewer keep growing and losing hair, how does he did that?
so...not a GT-R?
That's 130k km, not 13k. Still low miles for such an old car.
160kmh = 100mph
I wonder, can a RB26 run well without the turbo? I know it'll lower the power, but is it possible to tune it so that it wouldn't need a turbo?
Neon Wave yes but the RB26DETT was prepared for turbocharging so you'd have to do the reverse of many things like running higher compression pistons,a thinner head gasket and different camshaft profiles and retune the ECU to compensate for the lack of turbos and regain power. In short, it's not ideal to de-turbo an engine that was engineered from factory to handle forced induction.
Neon Wave also this car is a GTS-T. It doesn't come with the RB26. It has an RB20DET
I know. But people tend to be more interested in the RB26.
Neon Wave naturally. The RB26DETT is the ultimate engine for the GTRs from 1989-2003 when production ceased on the R34. Naturally people are gonna have greater interest in that high output engine as opposed to the lowly RB20
NA rb26de came in autech skyline,awesome with itb
Cars of today are made for comfort an accommodations for the average person that spends a third of their life in a vehicle.
10,000 on your first car?!?! I wish I had daddies money....
Too bad amazon prime doesnt like my region.
The car looks very skinny in that photo
No widebody on these like the GT-Rs
13000 kilometers???
Is that a big number? 🤨
20800miles, so no not that much^^
MetalTiger88 whaaat???
I didn't get it... D'you mean 13000km is 20800miles? Coz it isn't... 🤔
13k km basically still new
MetalTiger88 your math is off. 13k km is about 8k miles.
13,000 miles is 20,800 kilometers. 13,000 kilometers is 8,125 miles.
you doin me a confuse :-D
Points so well made, how today’s cars are going numb. Driverless Cars? What the fleck? Why are we as consumers, buying this BS. How could Porsche give in to this. They wrote the book on road feel. Cumm’on sheeple, speak up. Don’t buy cars with electric steering!!
Drive the R32 GTR tuned to about 400-500 and you'll see what it can do.. gts rb20 with one turbo is dull.
It's pretty :b
Only thing is needs is a better stance Mayb coil overs ?
Mike Arredondo why ruin a near perfect suspension?
i know right... but I guess it's all about dat slammed lyfe bro
Stock best one to review , since the American s never driven one before
No.
Classic retarded way of thought. See a nice car, think it could be low and cool, decide to ruin it.
NISSSSSSSAN ......... its simple ... do you see a "E" in it ??... NEEEESAN make you sound so elementary
shouldve saved the review for a r32 gtr instead of reviewing this one lol.
Wrx v1
I mean they review a wrx
Love the car. The dudes driving it suck a bit
"It's not pretty", looks a hell of a lot better than your generic yankmobiles.
He doesn’t understand gtrs
Putting a GTR wheel in a non-GTR skyline? Tryhard statement that screams I don’t have enough money for what I really want.
Still spend less than fucking what???
100 miles :)
they are very cool but they are ugly. Looks like none of the body panels fit properly
It's......it's...... Hideous
It does not matter how it looks... It is all about how it drives.
Trust me, wait for the r33 and skip the r32.
SKYLINES AREN’T SPECIAL
How many have you driven?
Trolling bs slow these days?
Middle fingers up bruh.
Guys, it's a rcr reference; calm down.
Jeezzzzz as car guys they didn't know what's so special about the skylines? Get outta here with that nonsense lol. This cars were special in important in the late 20th century to early 21st. To all tuners to race heads.
