i had a car accident, and i got paid out from my insurance. So are these puppies any good? are they in the same class as WRX. if i buy one im finking of doing a RB25DET engine conversion. i also used to own a VL Turbo before my STi. nice cars ;)

they are ok they are basically a gtr with an rb20 instead of rb26. Check out just car insurance they are pretty reasonable with prices for performance cars. Im 18 and only paying 2100 a year on a r33 gts-t. So its worth looking into for a gtr unless you have a really shitty driver history?

hmm so what does insurance cost on R32 GTR's?? 2-4K?.. do any of you guys know a site where i can get all the details (engine/gearbox/1/4times etccc) on the R32 GTS-4. Ive heard that the GTS-4 uses the same gearbox and 4wd system as the R32 GTR

Like said above; the 2L will be pretty sluggish. Mate of mine bought one, and gave me a drive. It had the usual mods, but it was pretty laggy and slow. Handled like a dream though, and he did some wicked stuff on skidpan days.

He has an R32 GTR now, and there's absolutely nothing that it's missing. Goes like the clappers, and it's stock!

Call Just Car, and get a quote. I'm sure it's not going to be 9K. A quote for HALF of that would make me frown!

:D dam I was told by them that they wouldn't insure anyone under 21 for turbos, unless you are a nominated driver?

i can afford a GTR R32 or R33, but they cost to much to run and the insurancee they just rape you! i was paying 4k for the insurance the STi

And you think a different Skyline coupe, with a turbo engine conversion no less, is somehow going to be significantly cheaper?

How much do you think insurance on an Impreza GX would be after you did an EJ20T conversion on it? Or your running costs?

Be a man. If you want a 4WD turbo Skyline and you can afford it, get a GT-R. Don't arse about.

i'll just say. having a 32 gtr and gtst, i can tell you it is very hard to get decent power out of a 32 gtst. if your happy with 200 kw at the wheels go the gtst, if you are going to want more than that don't buy one.

If you still want a 32 but going to fill it with 33 bits to get more power y not just buy a 33??????

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
