yeah its a bit fun with the sucking noise and then shrroom.. and the push.. rb20 still better than a heck of a lot of other engines out there for the next 10 years, so its not too bad. I think in next few years, rb25 R32 will be very common.. so many cheap rb25's out there to buy.. and the price is so much cheaper than it was than a few years ago. And rb20's are getting a bit old now and starting to get to that level of destructing.

Just because you're 25 now, doesn't mean anybody wants to catch herpese

25.. ahh funny

no you're not.. you're in denial of your homosexuality, that's where you are..

Well i think supply is reduced and demand is the same.. so we shall see! I know I wouldn't buy an R32 for only $3k less than an R33 though.. but for $6k less i would, and did It depends what you'd call the "average price" at the moment... For R33 I reckon its about $16k.. for r32 I reckon its about $13k .. but this is just a very broad average.

search a few areas for rb25 conversion.. bie

you're only 19.. and you're an expert right? :wassup:

I disagree.. Things will settle more.. but prices will go up or hold for a fair while.. like they did when SEVS stopped the R33's being fully modified. There will always be a market for a few of the different cars like R32, cefiro, etc as there is less of them around than R33.. Already you'd ask "why is an R32 sold for only $2k less than an equivelent R33?" - but they do and have for quite a while. But maybe they will come down a bit. R33 are saturation point, a mass market item - there will always be a niche for the other cars.

I know, he must have learned to use the accelerator or something

What do you mean by "finned" ? My R32 diff has lots of fins on it. Or is there something specific you mean?

you spent anything on handling?

yes, they fit.. i got another new model one off gts-t.. Around $100 I'd sell it for.. i like the blue tho.. they look the same at night anyhow.

sigh.. lets see.. exhaust manifold - the vLT one is top mount, the R32 one is side mount. I don't think they fit from memory. i've got an rb30 head here and a r33 ex. mani.. (r32 is same), when its daytime sometime i will check to be sure. r32 injectors might possibly work with VLT ECU as they're similar flow rate, both are top feed. One big difference however is that rb20 is low impedence... You could probably get by with the resistor pack trick, however I'm not sure of anybody that has tried that route.. easier to go for VLT injectors. I have a feeling the VLT ECU would have to be reprogrammed, as I reckon they'd probably be overfuelling and need adjustment. R32 turbo is pretty useless on 3L .. apparently starts spooling from near idle.. and runs out of puff not long after.. not really suitable.. too small basically. . In the end, to be honest, for $1200-$1500 you could get all the VLT parts and it would be a safer option and less stuffing around.. and most of the rb20det stuff isn't really suitable anyhow. I have a feeling you're not going to bother Just remember, if its a daily, that means more stress on the engine, and drivetrain (r31's not strongest point), and more importantly drinks heaps more fuel. Kind of spoils the point of the cheap daily..

welcome to a long time ago.. jeebz, half of those were up a couple of years even before I left! I've noticed the victorian road toll is also pretty much exactly the same as it was about 4 years ago too, they government just has a lot of money to show for it..

how about a bright blue, or possibly a hot pink? :wassup: well here is a few options to look at...

angle grinders are the shit.. work well on the plastic too.. just be careful.. because it will literally melt the plastic (which gives nice smooth edges = good), but if you get any of it on your hands it burns it burns.. got a couple of nasty blisters from being stupid. The other option that will work fairly well is a jigsaw. I used that at points too. You can pretty much get a result that looks like it was meant to be, if you are careful. I only used the file to shave a few bits out a bit further, but the file can tend to burr the edges. Chopping that support with the angle grinder is pure entertainment in itself.. why pay somebody else for the pleasure?? Install took me about 5-6 hours for cooler itself, but a bit of that was trying to workout how to get the bumper and bumper skin off.. work out what to drill, what to cut, etc, etc. For the piping, if you purchase the required bends, some straight pipe, and dummy fit everything.. if you mark a line across both pipes to determine which angles they should sit, you can take them to somewhere and just say "weld this here" and you should get a cheaper result. That was what I was going to do, but in the end, I ended up buying a 2ndhand kit off another member for a good price.

most importantly - who's bringing the barrels? was i first in to use that one?? boy i'm funny

lol - forza craps all over it.. has 33.. blah..

lol - he wasn't talking about chasers..

sorry duncan, but it had to be done, as its there in plain text

yeah, everybody hates the pickles

There's a reasonable difference in the engines (esp. stock).. but in terms of the feel and handling they're on par.. For me I traded 'down' as i wanted to completely re-setup my r33 .. that would have been stupidly expensive. Was cheaper to start again with a lighter chasis, and for me was half the price.

well they both use the "hook" arrangement, which means it can mount at any point across.. . so its quite possible. I think that its probable that the wheel arch is going to be the difference. Traphead.. looks like you might just have to get a mate with an R33 and try it.

I'm not sure whether on the r32's they have a different ratio diff.. I think I remember reading there wasn't any difference on R32's.. but R33's and plenty of other cars there is a difference. Somebody quote the model number off their diff, and i'll crawl under and see whether mine has a different one (auto atm) I don't think thats much chop like you say. Guy up here put one in his HR31, and I think it didn't take long to destroy it at low 200rwkw levels. If its anything like the HR31, he said it was a bit of a stuff around to get it in and the shifter doesn't align properly in the cabin anyhow.
