32 build from NZ

[JordanRochelle]

Bought a R32 shell as a project 3 days ago! 20de manual, will +t later down the track as the motor is already set up for it apparently.

Started with an R33 sedan 20e auto which got crashed into an armco out drifting (not me) getting turned into a drift pig now!

welcome from another NZer. looks like a lot of work coming up for you. are you going to put the RB20e out of the R33 into the R32 shell?

Nah, picked up a 20de to drop in. Just need to find a decent manual set up cause there's literally nothing in the car ?

Manual setups to suit RBs are getting hard to and expensive to find :( good luck.

Throw a TD05-16g on the 20de and it will be a blast.

Nice work saving the old girl!

Ooh yes they are! I've got a 30e box for it but it's still sitting at the opposite end of the country.. 

 

Side note, will an auto rear half of a driveshaft work with a manual front?

i believe so, the chassis mounts for the driveshaft are the same for both auto and manual from what i have seen
