Hey there people, im nearly 20 years of age now and currently driving a lancer :O 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.

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...

well i mean out of the R32 series. yeh im not to into the R33's, never really have been, and friends have steered me away from buying one, becauseits not a good choice as a first RWD performance car.

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...

sorry dude i think you got me wrong i meant the GTst is most powerful out of all the R32's as in compared to the GTS4 and that sought of stuff.

i can only go by what ive been told so please to think im an idiot, The 32 supposably a better choice for the availability in parts and price of parts compared to the 33. 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.

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

OK, I'm no expert on motors... but that statement is just wrong...... and stupid? :(

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
