Got My 3-2 On The Way!

[Johnny Cash]

Heya all,

As the topic suggests, I just put a deposit down on a 32, looks to be mainly stock (only exhaust and slight bodywork). It's an auto, but will be converted to manual. It has the blue-face gauges, and the stock wing has been replaced by a GTR item.

I've got a few questions to ask of you all who know much more about 32's than myself, being new to the game. First of all, how can you tell if it's a 'Type M' or not? I've heard mixed signals but nothing conclusive.

Second, and this is mainly opinion, whats the deal with owning a 32? How do they hold up driving everyday, out racing on the track, or winding through the hills? I haven't really been for a belt in one yet behind the wheel, but am teaming with anticipation. I'm also getting the stock GTS-T indicators replaced by GTR items to continue the illusion

All I know is, it's going to be a long-ass month before this car arrives from Japan and gets done with compliance and what-not. I can't wait!

1. easiest and most conclusive way is to get someone to run the VIN through the nissan FAST software

2. they go well enough if its your first import... i was following one of the local GTR boys through the hills on the GOR in Melbourne and kept up "ok" with him considering the major power and handling differences. Definately a fun car and the reason i bought another one and should hopefully be here by xmas

The Nissan WHAT? Software? How do I get a hold of that?

go down to nissan and tell them the VIN and they'll give you all the info you need

type m front brakes are 2 piston while non m-spec are 1 piston calipers

if the front brake calipers have the writing "nissan" on them then its m-spec

[DLuded]

oh and like sky80 said the torque isnt that good. under 2500rpms the cars are dogs

correction - type-M brakes are 4-piston

type m front brakes are 2 piston while non m-spec are 1 piston calipers

if the front brake calipers have the writing "nissan" on them then its m-spec

Thanks for the info, when it rocks up I'll check it out and let you all know.

Man, I can't wait, Type-M or not.

Thanks again,

Adrian.

What recommendation do you have for getting more torque, without the obvious put-in-an-RB26-and-whack-on-a-huge-turbo route. I won't really be able to modify it until I pay it off (wife's orders), but I might be able to sneak in a mod here and there...
