Hey everyone....

IM looking for a car for my gf.

r32 non turbo. Auto, 92 or up preffered.... neat paint and interior

Stock or with a couple of small mods ok.

Id rather a 2 door over a 4 door.

Price is open within reason.

From reading some posts by Fubkymonkey i think what im looking for is a

GTS25 = late model (think post 1992 or something) car with 2.5L N/A engine and mostly in auto (manual GTS25 is hard to find)

If anyone has one they want to sell or can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Cheers

so u want a r32 with a rb25? aint nothing stock boiut it as the R32 came with a RB20 :|

apparently u can get R32 GTS25 from factory (93 onwards?)... but they are uber rare...

Genesis recently had one till he sold it..

ARKAD: You from Brisbane right? would u want to import one yourself or find one that's already here? I recently bought an R33 GTS25 about 3 months ago from SVI up at virginia.

I'm quite happy with it... but ur looking for a R32 with an RB20DE engine (2L) try teh tradingpost, carsales.com, and such... N/A's are kinda getting rare nowadays...

You can get a R32 GTS25, i know this, coz i drive one! They aren't the most common model, mine is Auto, but the gearbox is quite happy to be slapped down to 3rd or 2nd manually, and does it relatively quickly.

Mines a 92model...the engine is different to that in the R33 as it doesnt have the varible valve timing.

They go reasonably quick, mine went to quick for me one night and im now trying to bring it back to life.........painful process, but im getting there. Might even get to drive it next week after being off road for 4months (ooohh the excitement!!!)

'tis a pity you weren't in Sydney about a month ago...

julion off here bought a N/A'ed R32, '92 model I think, for ~$8k...

I took it for a spin (I was going to get it, before I found my R33), was an awesome little machine.

Went like a rocket!

when in doubt, keep quiet. :D

R32 GTS25's do exist and they are a production model. They aren't as rare as people make them out to be. They ARE rare in Australia though, as only a few of them were ever imported under the CPA scheme prior to 2003. They only started production in 92/93 so they weren't imported as 15 year old cars either.

Under the new SEVS laws you can import one as they meet the power to weight requirements. They are lighter than an R33 GTS25 which is also eligible for import. Prior to R32 compliance being available the ones in australia were the only ones you could choose from. However now with R32 compliance being around the $2500 mark, and the R32 GTS25's being relatively cheap to buy in Japan, you should be able to import one for under $10,000 for a nice latemodel R32 that hasn't been thrashed. Only catch is you've gotta find a car with no accident history.

Nice comeback to the 18 month old post Shan :no:

For what it's worth, saw an R32 GTS25 in Hurstville the other day. Pretty neat car..

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
