how much does a WMI setup cost (installed) roughly?

[zebra]

around 600 for a resonable kit.

[Trozzle]

hmm....

HMMMMMMMM.....

Might become part of my upcoming mods list...which is already pretty expensive lol

[CeJay]

at least your planning the whole thing out, best way to save money on the mod budget in the long run.

[TiTAN]

what ever you budget for it, double it.

[GTRKat]

what ever you budget for it, double it.

And then add a little bit more

Actually, those words were the best advice anyone gave me during my engine rebuild planning. It's easy for things to get away from you a little!

There's a cheap R32 GTR which have been looked after - only driven about once a month in the past 12 months.

PM sent to OBY.

32's Rule that is all.....

But for information as to why they rule

I do agree that the 33 box is stronger, but synchro's still break from "quickshifts" and Rough abuse, not so much from power. My 20 box has had plenty of abuse, and so has ZCR's, and there are plenty of 200kw+ cars still going strong with 20 box's. I don't think a 20 box would last long with 250kw+ but below that its much of a muchness, and as for the diff, 32's may be better but are harder to find LSD centre's and parts, so that would be a negative

Yes the Geometry is very similar but R32 standard came with a much firmer and better shocks which have been known to last over 200,000kms, where as the 33's come with a soft shock and spring as thats what nissan thought people wanted comfort and the shocks only lasted around 50,000 hence why most standard 33's feel really rolly, which most people think their weight or size cause (but it doesn't help)

But the biggest handling gain is the Stiffness of the Chassis compared to the 33, with the 32 having the same stiffness as the 32 GT-R. Its why a 32 gts-t will do the same lap time (to a certain point) of similar power and suspension modded 32 GTR, where as the 33 GTS-T's are always behind the 32 let alone the 33 GTR

and even thoug you can find 34's for 12, I'd say more 14-15000, which is double the price of some 32's. Drop an educated 7k into a 32 and you would have a very fast and fun car

My 32 wieghs in at 1270, ZCR's 1320 with Sunroof

And the weight difference is more noticable in corner speed and braking than power

Another thing 32's tend to get 10-11ltrs per 100k, I know the 34's are better than 33's but I don't know the figure

And 100mm wheelbase difference is quite big, 33 to 32 is the same as 32 to New Mini

Oh and for model specific Bias

R31- Drift GTS

R32- Me

R33- Frink

R34- Randon I am

All of us will defend our model to death

Hey so I'm better off getting a 32? Will I be able to find one in good nick that isn't going to cause me to many hassles?

Hey I had a look. It wouldn't let me send you a PM though, something about not having enough posts. I'd love to come and have a look at it but 16k is out of my price range.

[Bullet32]

Your best bet is to buy from an enthusiast who has advertised in the For Sale section of these forums... At least three quarters of people who sell through SAU have looked after their car and are reluctantly selling it.

If you like the looks, your more of a driver than a poser and find a good one you will never look back.

[OBY]

Yeah I do like the look better than the 33s and 34s. I've put WTB add in the SAU classifieds so hopefully I find myself a jem of a 32. Hey you guys meet on a friday night yeah?

[StinkyPoo]

Saw these on all Classifieds today:

R32 GTS-T - $11,500, a few mods but this sentence might be a typo - "Boost can be wound up to 22 pounds giving 319kw of power."

http://www.allclassifieds.com.au/ac/ac0032?vcid=122819044

R34 GT-T - $15,500 - looks stock

http://www.allclassifieds.com.au/ac/ac0032?vcid=122819415

[Randon_I_Am]

319kw from an rb20??? wow, i wouldn't believe that, unless he's adding the extra killerwatts the subs add to it

Edit - Subs don't make more power, the 2 massive amps make more power

[OBY]

The 32 looks pretty good. Cheers for the heads up Quick question, how much is a immaculate stock 32 gtr worth?

Edited August 1, 2010 by OBY

[GTRKat]

A lot more than $10k

Generally the cheaper they get the more work they need done on them.

[TURISMO]

immaculate stock 32 gtr

Thats almost an oxy moron, stock ones are hard tofind and harder to find in good condition

[GTRKat]

Yeah what Reece says is true too. And for the ones that stand out, be prepared to pay well for them.

[OBY]

So 18k is a good price?

[Trozzle]

For a 32GTR?

From what I've seen, I would honestly suggest against a 32GTR. While there is no doubt in anyone's mind that they are an amazing car, as others have said above, you will pay for one. Then, even after you've bought a clean one with little to no issues, you won't stop spending money on it there. Be it something breaks and requires replacing, or you want more from it (don't kid yourself, you WILL), it will cost you.
