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

Hayden

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..

bloody arsemonkey's digging up 2 year old threads.

    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
