They look ace!
Maybe they're a bit pre Max Power generation... 
Pre max power like a 106 
I like loads of old school ugly cars I just think the r32 looks slightly american for some reason

Adam: Have a look on www.glenburgie-subaru.co.uk at the cars for sale... you'll see a white Skyline.
Thats the car Liam used at Boyndie sprint. (tight n twisty kart track)
He said it had 400bhp and he posted a very respectable time.

I was just pointing out that your car (fair enough it's built for speed) is very much viewed by the max power generation as cool (i.e. having a little dig backfor your lightweight comment
No, your in your early 20's which makes you firmly part of the Max P generation.
TBH i dont think the Max Power generation see the S1 106 Rallye as a cool car... it's not japanese, it doesn't have a turbo, you dont generally dont get owneres fitting dumb ass body kit's to them and you cant just slap on 19" wheels to them.
Most S1 106 Rallye owners tend to keep them looking std apart from maybe a set of white 15" alloys and spend their money where it counts... brakes/handling & performance.

Ah... they're crap! 
Unless you can get them uprated like you can with the S1 Escort RS Turbo LSD's.

Since production of the last GT-R had ceased 16 years earlier, Nissan needed a new vehicle to compete in Group A racing. Due to the rules of Group A, all participating vehicles must be existing road cars. Enter the 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R.
The 1990 model R32 was released with a new motor designated RB26DETT. The RB26DETT is a 2.6 Liter, DOHC, 24 valve, in-line 6. It uses a six-throttle inlet manifold, has a bore of 86mm and stroke of 73.77mm which results in a total displacement of 2569cc. A compression ratio of 8.5:1, twin T28 Garrett turbochargers and a large front-mount intercooler help the RB26DETT produce a rated 280hp at 6800rpm and 260ft-lb of torque at 4400rpm. In most peoples' opinion, the R32 was underrated by the factory.
The R32 GT-R uses a 5-speed manual gearbox which is connected to Nissans ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All - Electronic Torque Split) all-wheel drive system. ATTESSA monitors the car's movements a 100 times per second, including wheel rotation, and lateral as well as longitudinal acceleration. When wheel slip is detected, the system electronically distributes torque from this spinning wheel to one without slip. Torque distribution can be adjusted to settings between 0:100 and 50:50. The rear of the R32 utilizes an active Limited Slip Differential.
The GT-R uses a multilink suspension, front and rear, and steering is further improved by utilizing an all-wheel-steering system (Super HICAS). Super HICAS allows the GT-R's rear wheels to steer a maximum of one degree, based upon the car's current movement and the angle of the steering wheel input via the driver. This results in a more nimble feel and is handled via electric actuators and computer controls.
The V-Spec (Victory Specification) uses a stiffer suspension and a revised all-wheel-drive system. Performance is further improved by using larger 225/50/17 tires and 324mm back/300mm front Brembo ventilated disc brakes.
Exterior dimensions are: 4545mm length, 1755mm width, 1355mm height. From a visual perspective, the GT-R is similar in appearance to the other R-32 models with some exceptions. The GT-R includes front-bumper air inlets, larger intercooler, a taller rear wing, aluminum front wheel arches and bonnet, and GT-R (and V-Spec if applicable) emblems.
Interior changes include the addition of race seats, the turbo boost gauge and digital clock were removed from inside the instrument cluster and replaced with a front wheel torque meter. The clock has been relocated to the left of the steering wheel into the instrument surround. Finally, oil temp/voltage/turbo boost gauges were added beneath the climate controls.
The R32 GT-R notched up a whopping 29 straight victories out of 29 races. The GT-R proceeded win the JTC Group A series championship 4 years in a row, thus earning the name "Godzilla".
