koleka Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey there people, im nearly 20 years of age now and currently driving a lancer yes i know.... i have had a bit of experience in driving rear wheel drive performance cars, but not alot. After being indecisive for a while i have finaly decided of all the cars i plan to buy an R32, mainly for the fact of price and my learning of driving and the capacity to mod. Originally i was going to look at buying one through JSA in preston, Melbourne but havnt heard the best of news and am smart enough to realise there a little overpriced. I just wanted to ask what to look out for, going through the skyline specs in the skyline .pdf found on the forum i noticed the Type M or GTs-t R32's where most powerfull so what is the difference between the two as in pro's and cons? and what are they worth? I am willing to pay anything for a good car considering the amount i originaly planned to spend. i will be eventually modding this car but first i have to learn to drive it. I will be taking it on track too. so any suggestions and info would be great. ta.

slimjim Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 GT-Rs are actually the most powerful of the R32s. The order from least to most powerful is - GTS GTS-t GT-R Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100726-up-and-coming/#findComment-1838554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamhere Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 type m's are just an upper model to gts-t's with a drop down spoiler, bigger brakes, a body kit. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100726-up-and-coming/#findComment-1838687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
koleka Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 type m's are just an upper model to gts-t's with a drop down spoiler, bigger brakes, a body kit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeh i realise the GTRs are the best of all. are the type M's rare? or hard to get? much more expensive? thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100726-up-and-coming/#findComment-1838951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 lol just about every single skyline i see for sale says its a type M...so i dont think they're that rare at all and when you say the R32 GTS-T is more powerful than the rest, you mean power to weight right...coz powerwise the R33 has more than the 32...

dezz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 can i ask why? you yourself said that the R32 is more powerful (power to weight wise) so why isnt the 33 a good first RWD performance car? just curious...

Ive also been told they handle not so great compared to the R32 and with the extra power that the R33 has it might be a bad cimbination, of power and handling. But thats only what ive heard.

dezz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 thats fair enough i guess....but as for parts, i dont see how parts can be more available for the 32, considering its older....maybe just off the wrecked 1's...

r32skyline_89 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Not much difference between type m and gts-t. I have a GTS-t and a friend of mine has type m. Because of their age they will vary in power and condition depending on how they have been driven over the past 20 years. Just look for a clean, straight car. As for parts, DONT CRASH IT!!! simple. know your limits and stay there. Engine parts will probably be replaced with aftermarket parts anyhow so no hassle finding them. Stay clear of RB25. Being a bigger engine they run higher compression which after 50,000 klm of being thrashed as we do, they tend to wear out quicker than the RB20 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100726-up-and-coming/#findComment-1843043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
