R32 Skyline for sale or swap

[drifterex]

Hey people.

I'm regrettably selling my R32 Skyline GTST, but would also be very interested in a swap for an aircooled beetle of same or similar value, as if I do sell the car for cash, I will only be spending it on a beetle anyway, so figured might aswell kill two birds with one stone.

I'm only interested in a beetle, and one which doesn't need any body work or engine work (bought a fixer upper before so not interested in another one), and which could be used as a daily driver.

So anyway, here's a fairly complete spec of the car:

Exterior:
Full respray 2 years ago (including door jams and boot) in House of Kolor candy apple red
Team Jetspeed +25mm wide front wings
Custom R33 GTR +50mm rear quarter panels
R33 GTR style front bumper
Carbon fibre GT rear spoiler
Suzuki Hayabusa petrol cap
Clear front indicators
8.5"x18" front and 9.5x18" rear Ultralite Daiki wheels, with plenty of meat left on the tyres
Xenon headlights
LED rear lights

Interior:
R32 GTR front seats retrimmed in red suede and black vinyl
Rear seats trimmed to match
Razo gear knob and pedals
Nismo steering wheel
Kenwood stereo
Blue LED dash kit

Engine:
2.0 6 cyl turbo rwd - fantastic sound
163,000km NCT Feb 2011
XS Power 4" front mount intercooler
HKS SSQV (version 2)
HKS Hi Power Silent cat back exhaust
Japspeed decat pipe
Apexi Power Intake
245bhp (according to my APEXI RSM which are quite accurate)
Nismo oil cap and rad cap

Suspension:
Tein Super Street Coilovers
Driftworks front tension rods
Driftworks front upper camber arms

Bad points:
There is a small crack in the front bumper (see pic) and some of the usual stone chips on the black splitter section of the bumper.

Some prick opened a door into my car, on the passenger side, so there is small mark (bout 3mm) on that door, but it wasn't dented.

Overall it's a fantastic car, and I'm really sad to see it go, as I've had it almost 5 years now, and have grown quite attached to it, but if I'm ever going to get aircooled, it has to go I'm afraid. It always turns heads, and in my opinion anyway, it's tastefully modified and styled, unlike some of the chavmobile shitboxes, that we're all used to seeing on our roads.

So down to brass tacks. I'm looking for €6,500 ono, or ideally, a swap for a similar value beetle. Ideally german look, and blue *ahem*, so if anyone is interested or has any other questions, or if I just forgot sumtin, let me know, pm me or whatever

Cheers,
Mark.

Is that a surfboard rack on the back?

I'm sure you could put one there if the mood took you

good luck with the sale.

I'd love a spin in one of those. Raw bhp. Must be difficult to keep it under the ton.

(kph, of course )

Candy Apple Red looks savage!!! Would look nice on a custom beetle.

Best of luck with sale.

Obviously kph. I wouldn't dream of anything any more than that

but it just keeps goin and goin, and not particularly laggy either, just loadsa torque. I have a legacy rsk and it feels like an age between the 2 turbos which is a bit annoying. Good fun in the wet too, but always nice and controllable. Not that it's had the aese driven off it, but has been sideways at a couple of junctions.

Knk : yeah I want to do a beetle in candy red. I think with curves it would look amazing. Skyline was White when I bought it which was grand but I love the colour it is now.
