is this ok? R32 GTS-T

[chopobo]

ok

i took this r32 gts-t today for a drive

its incredible, the boost and torque, i know its nothing new to you guys but it was my first time in a turbo charged car.

but the car seems a lil dodgy

the engine plates says its a rb20de

but it clearly has a turbo

mods that i could see were:

big blue pod air filter

3" cat back full exhaust

gtr FMIC

heavy duty clutch

17" colour coded rims

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

but im not too sure about this car. i want to buy it tho.

im thinking it was a non turbo r32 gts cos it has the blue GT badges on the side

and the engine was replaced with a rb20det

or a turbo was just bolted on to the original rb20de

but im leaning towards it being a replaced engine because the kms are 60k kms which is pretty low for a 92 car.

But yeah its black which i love and the guy is located clive st Westall along center rd

jus wanna know what you guys think.

It drives great but it idles a bit too low for my liking. ( Bloody stalled it 2 times! haha) and i gotta get used to that heavy clutch

any advice people? price about 16k covers everything including rego but can prolli get it lower.

Thanks

what is the vin & chassis numbers. I cant remember the 32's, but they are diff for non turbo, turbo, etc. That should tell you waht it is / was.

I think it makes a significant difference in resale value, so make your consider that too if you decide to purchase it.

[chopobo]

yeah

but it runs quite well

steering is a bit hard bit its all good

As well as insurance, so I'd check carefully if you really want a genuine GTS-T

[chopobo]

haha insurance

im gonna have to go third party anyways

[ex-static]

So, if your car gets stolen and written off.. you get a whole $5000 back on a $16,000 car... sounds fair doesnt it?

GO fully comp mate, if you cant afford insurance, you cant afford the car.

[meggala]

chopbo contact drdrift he has a mint r32 for sale similar pricing.

or mail me and I"ll give you his phone number

Depends, then again if you're paying $5000 on insurance a year (which they do quote to young guys) its going to have to be a pretty serious accident to totally write off the car. 3 years times at least $4000 is going to cost you the value of that car... so well depends.

The whole "third party fire and theft" thing covering up to only $5000 or whatever is ridiculous, you may as well not have the theft part as its so token.

[chopobo]

plz dun turn this into insurance thread. go post in the other threads. Im not gonna pay 5k a year to insure a car. its not worth it for a 10 year old car. Third party will do fine. it will be my fault entirely if i get the car smacked and i deserve to have it written off. which is why im not planning to smack this car. If it gets smacked it won't be my fault, it will be the other persons fault. I want to drive carefully.

but phew taking it for a run today was such a breath taker. meggala!!!

what color is dr drift selling his r32? and is he selling cheaper price with rego? and where is he located?

if u can find same car with same mods cheaper price ill be really grateful b'cos lately r32s have been really hard to find a decent one. And i dun wanna take the risk of importing incase it arrives late and i have to bypass the new laws in Feburary which will screw everything up.

[meggala]

chopbo check your pm

[chopobo]

would you accept 60000 kms for a r32 gts-t

if it had a bigger turbo how much kw would it be approx counting normal air filter and exhaust mods

[Guest INASNT]

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

hahaha u gotta be carefull when used car sales men start talking like this! Usually it means 'I dont know what i am talking about, i am just saying to you so u buy the car'

[chopobo]

no no no

the guy imports cars

hes not a car dealer

he imports cars direct and then sells them

[Ait]

I'd be really careful about private importers since they have no warranty. That was the mistake I made! After $$$$$ later...

[chopobo]

no warranty?

what

i woulda thought they had some sorta warranty cos they take a look/tune the engines and touch the car up

[meggala]

ask him what model turbo.

then say to him has the car been thrashed cause why would you fit a bigger turbo if you drive the car normally.

meggala

and ait is correct no warranty unless he is a licenced motor car trader

[chopobo]

yeah ill ask the guy tomolo

yeah the idling was a bit weird

when i was reversing and like holding the clutch in, the idle kept alternating between 0 and 1000 rpm

but ill take a proper look tomolo

and report back

and take down the engine number

[Ait]

Is it true that ADR would be stricter from next year onwards? I hear the number of R32 compliance plates are now going to be lessened? That would drive the prices up wouldn't they?

[chopobo]

yeah thats partially why i want one soon!!!

later will be too dear for me

[funkymonkey]

you can have my car for $15k (no seriously)

mostly stock cept for 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust n extractors, dun 50k km (got it with 39k genuine kms)

Sounds like you've got a GTS that's got a turbo kit bolted on (exactly like meggala's), which means you'll never get a stock turbo on it.

The dealers pulling your tail if he reckons its never been trashed. The only reason sumone would turbo a GTS is if they wanted it to go faster and if it did go faster I'm SURE they'd have trashed it.
