Hey guys,

I know this is a long shot, but I'll never know if I don't ask.

I am most likley going to import a R32 GTST. The problem is I have never driven one. I am trying to decide between an R32 and a CA18 180 (15 year rule)

I know I really like the 180, but my mates have them already, and I always wanted an R32.

What is the best way I can get a drive in a R32? I was trying to avoid rocking up at a private sale and pretending to be interested. It's pretty slack IMO. I don't care if it's only a GTS. I just want to make sure I like the way they drive, I am not gonna 'give it some' in the least, I'll do that when I get mine.

Is anyone in the Newcastle-sydney area willing to let me have a drive of theirs?

Failing that, on saturday I am gonna hit sydney and try to get a drive at a car dealer. But if they are like the ones up here, they prolly won't let me.

I have not totally ruled out buying local, but I need to keep it under $10,000, so importing seems to be the way to go. If you have a R32 for sale for under or around $10k, and in NSW, then let me know and I might buy it...

Cheers

Chris

Hey man,

good to hear your into the 15 year olds (cars that is) but to be honest I dont think there would be that many people who let a stranger drive their car at face value. Its a bad situation for you, but you cant really blame them. Also, youd be pretty lucky to get a decent r32 landed for $10,000. Possible, but unlikely. 180's on the other hand - you could get one for less than that easily.

Just take the plunge, choose which car you like and go for it! You'll love it regardless :D

I will try the car yards, but in the Newcastle area they are total tossers, u almost have to flash the cash before they let u even open the bonnet. I know a few ppl that wont buy from them for that reason. Idiots.

Looks like one of the guys that I was gonna go thru to import has one I can drive.

So looks like it might be all good :D

My 180 def has less power than my partners 32, they don't come with a standard BOV and there is less room in the back than a 32 (if its possible - though the front is way more roomy than the 32), and rear/blindspot vision is quite pitiful, however its highly unlikely you will get a decent 32 for 10k. You would be looking at something more along the lines of 14-16k for a stock 32 of any value, or thats been taken care of at all.

You are likely to end up buying a car thats been in a few accidents with a shite engine.

Personally I'm happy with my 180 and wouldn't trade pop up h/lights for a 32 :D I believe they are better drift cars also. Chassis is alot different, much easier to drive up shite driveways even with a huge zorst, compared to the 32. You can get a good 180 for 10k or less, in far better condition than you'd ever get a 32 for that price. I could go on...

Anyway good luck :D

I have a friend who own a R32GTR before, it got stolen when they let the di*khe*d test drive. The said thing is my friend is in the car when they test drive, while swap the driver, my friend get out the car, and the F*ckhe*d jump from the passanger seat to the driver side and just took off. What can you do if you see someone drive off your car in front of you??

When I purchase my R32GTR from the import dealer, he don't let me test drive the car before the full payment and insurance been paid.

Also, if you consider to buy a cefiro or 180sx, visit my friend website

www.meggala.com

He have the full details and engine spec about cefiro, skylines and lecture on drifting as well

That sux about the car being stolen like that. I have always taken the test driver's (well..rider actually) license off them, and hold onto it until they come back. That way they won't be as tempted to be a tool, cause if a cop pulls em over they have no license.

Obviously that wouldnt have helped your mate in that case. And u can get fake licenses...but still...just an idea for u guys.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
