Wanted: R32

[jordo_8]

Hey guys,

I am looking for an r32 gtst or gts4, so far with not much luck. I want to buy something that has been well looked after and not something that has been thrashed around and poorly maintained by someone who doesnt know much about them. If you have something or know of someone who has an R32 of this description i will be interested. I have cash also. Thanks guys

That is pretty sweet. Looking for something pretty close to stock though

i hope youre well aware that a modified one is most likely going to be in better condition than your average joe stock 32,(cooler,bov, zorst bro, boost t) unless its completely stock, in which case will cost you more to purchase

[zoidbergmerc]

Yeah, plus stock ones are slow and mint ones are really hard to find.

[jordo_8]

Yeah you guys make good points. Its just so hard to find anything in tas! Not much about to choose from.

What do you guys think of this:

I'd appreciate your opinions

if you want to do skids, its a no deal, as its AWD. they are heavier, but if you want grip go for it.. ask someone in the know on here if they know it, or will look at it with you

I think the gts4's can also be RWD if you remove the 4WD fuse. Same as GTR's. Im not that desperate to "do skids" however it will be a nice option since ive been driving a gay FWD for a while lol. More just after a street car that will be reliable that i can build up myself. Be good if someone on here knew/knew of the current owner.

[Clandestine]

Yeah you can hook up a switch which bypasses the fuse to put it back to RWD, but you're still carrying a decent chunk more weight for the AWD system. That being said, if you have a few fat friends you may not even notice

I don't know the owner but someone on here would, generally people only interested in burnouts will avoid the AWD versions so maybe you'll get lucky with the engine? As I'm sure you've heard, if you're building from stock and you want something remotely decent it will cost you heaps (HEAPS) more than buying something already built.

I almost bought a gts4 about 4 years ago, but pulled out as a once over from brad at boost automotive turned up a lot of issues. If you're up north I'd suggest a good check over before purchase, and take notice of your gearbox when you take a test drive as it's under a bit more stress in AWD's.

Also, last piece of obvious and most likely misguided advice, drive skylines you don't want before buying one you do. Come to one of our meet ups or whatever and people will give you a lift I'm sure. Driving some POS skyline would have blown my socks off after a couple of years in a FWD hatch, so make sure it's the real thing, not just a comparison with another type of car

Thanks mate! Appreciate the advice. I think i might leave that one and keep looking. I asked if i could take it for a professional inspection and he declined so thats not a good sign.

[GTR.Maverick]

Yeah definitely get the inspection done, it will save u many, many $$$$ in the future. I got screwed over because i didnt do that when i bought my car due to the fact that the guy selling seemed like a genuine and honest person, big mistake on my part . Its almost all good now but i have had to spend a substantial amount more $$$ than i was hoping too and i havent even had the car that long. There are good cars out there just take the time to find one and u wont regret it, u will never go back to FWD Good luck.
