Hey all,

Names DUNDAS and im new here.

I am dead set about my next car which will be an R32 2dr 5sp RB20DET....but im unsure of getting which of the two types of the AWD or the RWD... i currently drive an accord which i feel is awesome but lacks sum grunt that a standard turbo vehicle would have... i just want more torque :D/...

anyways.. it would be great for some input...

the positives and negatives of the 2 types RWD n AWD.

I was looking @ yahoomotorsports also...seems cheap and im not too fussed with respray.. but im unsure of the rusts that are on sum of the cars.

HELP ME OUT

hey dundas! welcome to the forum

i would tend to go for the RWD R32 because they are more common (more to choose from), RWD is more fun to drive & a lot lighter, nimbler handling too.

AWD you would get the traction benefit, personally (if you decided AWD option) i would be inclined to save a bit more for a GT-R

anyways good luck with the search

Hey Dundas, Welcome to the SAU SA Section,

I would have to agree with Sam there, just remember with the AWD R32's you can bypass the relay a use only the RWD, But as Sam said save up for the GTR, otherwise don't worry about the AWD traction stuff and go hard in a RWD.

Hope you find what you want!!

the gts-4 share the same gearbox with R32 GTR, which is good stuff.

Not sure how their 4wd works though (same as GTR?)

But if my memory serve me right they are pretty overweight compare to RWD version (14xxkg vs 12xxkg), which not working well with RB20, as RB20 has no down low torque

Ohhh ok damnz, because i was looking @ yahoo motorsport- john..and many of them are AWD... i think id prefer rwd too they have the HICAS right.. which is great anyways. Ill just sell my car soon then i can be in the Skyline family

Anything to look out for.. obvious on the R32? Also how is rust fixed... is it difficult/ expensive???

this should probabarbly be in the yahoo motorsport thread but does he allow you to test drive his cars, compression test them etc besides just visual inspection? If the answer is yes, then i guess the inspection of his cars would be easier for you dundas.

p.s welcome to sau-sa division =D

Hey dude, mate i wouldnt have a clue about compression testing etc...

yeah i just didn't want to HIJACK the other dudes thread... would of felt bad

GTS4 Atessa system is the same as the GTR.

The extra weight and drive-train loses would put me off AWD for a R32 with RB20DET, but if you seriously intend to swap in something bigger (i.e. RB25/26/30), then i'd consider it.

Personally I'd like a 4-Door GTS4 with a RB26.

AWD can have HICAS too, but don't get too excited by it, it's no where near as "bendy as Honda's 4WS (only 1 degree). You'll find many owners disable it, and IMHO it's a gimmick, in many cases makes the rear-end unpredicable when driving at 8/10 or more.
