check around the back doors inside and out for surface rust aswell as where the bonnet hinges and around the windows, i had a tiny bit around these places when i bought mine before i had it removed. i also had my jacking points down the side of the car crushed which were covered up by a bodykit so maybe check there.

thanks dude,

what about engine wise?

[mad082]

wait, so you are moving from an sr20 to a "real engine" but the car you are buying has a rb20 in it? aaaahahahahaha. IMHO the sr20 is more of a "real engine" than the rb20, LOL. and the s13's are a better car. lighter, faster, etc.

i personally run rb20de+t in my cefiro..

Torquier, faster, more reponsive and more hyper than SR and rb25.

Personally i wouldn't go from s13 to R32 4d. There's not enough difference, your going from one old car to another old car...

That said.. Prepare to get a lot of rb20 haters, but they respond well to mods. That is all

[I8EE]

well its gonna be a track car. . . . and for the price im getting it for, i cant say no lol

i just like the shape =)

the engine is a stock RB20DET not a RB20DE+T...I should know as its my car and I did the conversion

I still have the NA engine in the shed if anyone is keen on that...thought not!

And yeah car is still for sale:

...i said MY setup is RB20 DE+T not yours! haha

you thought wrong

PM how much you want for the RB20DE =) and how many KM on the motor!

but yeah - the chassis of R32 4D is a nice setup... sounds like a lot of fun! (to potential buyer)

things to look out for when paying 6K ONO for a 4 door R32

i'll cut to the chase - if the seller is going 6K ONO for an R32 four door THAT HAS ALREADY GOT an RB20DET manual convert with swapped out late model interior.. in that AWESOME colour,

WITH all those extra suspension, cooling, electronic and other mods!?!?!

WITH twelve months registration?

what the hell IS there to look out for at that price?

it's a fking STEAL!!!

sorry to rant here - but seller of this car? you're crazy man... you've gone to so much work with this car and it looks so nice! i cant beleive you would let it go for this price..

buyer - i know you're asking because you're concerned. but seriously??? if i was letting my car go for this price and a guy made this thread about my car - SCRUTINIZING whether or not it's a good buy at 6 grand??? i would honestly tell you to beat it..

at this price - there is no question... if you like the car.. you BUY the car. at this price .. if the motor blows up. you replace it. if there's rust in the body. you fix it.

this car looks MINT at that price. i cant believe this seriously.. this thread breaks my heart.

sorry for flying off the handle. but - seller? you're crazy for letting this car go for such a low price, but - it's your choice

buyer - either you like the car, or you don't. at this price, no matter what goes wrong, you'll still be out in front.

let's say you're at the track in three months time and the car explodes and burns in a fireball. who cares. you paid next to nothing for it.

i just hope that you're not lowballing this guy lower than 6K...

^^^lol i wont tell you what i sold it for then. Was sad to see it go I put alot into that car to make it how I wanted it. But at the end of the day these cars aren't worth much now. I had it for sale for 2 months before I got any real interest in it.

But anyway that's cars.
