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..

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      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 .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
