Hey there people, im nearly 20 years of age now and currently driving a lancer :O yes i know.... i have had a bit of experience in driving rear wheel drive performance cars, but not alot.

After being indecisive for a while i have finaly decided of all the cars i plan to buy an R32, mainly for the fact of price and my learning of driving and the capacity to mod.

Originally i was going to look at buying one through JSA in preston, Melbourne but havnt heard the best of news and am smart enough to realise there a little overpriced.

I just wanted to ask what to look out for, going through the skyline specs in the skyline .pdf found on the forum i noticed the Type M or GTs-t R32's where most powerfull so what is the difference between the two as in pro's and cons? and what are they worth? I am willing to pay anything for a good car considering the amount i originaly planned to spend.

i will be eventually modding this car but first i have to learn to drive it. I will be taking it on track too.

so any suggestions and info would be great.

ta.

lol just about every single skyline i see for sale says its a type M...so i dont think they're that rare at all

and when you say the R32 GTS-T is more powerful than the rest, you mean power to weight right...coz powerwise the R33 has more than the 32...

well i mean out of the R32 series. yeh im not to into the R33's, never really have been, and friends have steered me away from buying one, becauseits not a good choice as a first RWD performance car.

can i ask why?

you yourself said that the R32 is more powerful (power to weight wise) so why isnt the 33 a good first RWD performance car?

just curious...

sorry dude i think you got me wrong i meant the GTst is most powerful out of all the R32's as in compared to the GTS4 and that sought of stuff.

i can only go by what ive been told so please to think im an idiot, The 32 supposably a better choice for the availability in parts and price of parts compared to the 33. Ive also been told they handle not so great compared to the R32 and with the extra power that the R33 has it might be a bad cimbination, of power and handling.

But thats only what ive heard.

Not much difference between type m and gts-t. I have a GTS-t and a friend of mine has type m. Because of their age they will vary in power and condition depending on how they have been driven over the past 20 years. Just look for a clean, straight car. As for parts, DONT CRASH IT!!! simple. know your limits and stay there. Engine parts will probably be replaced with aftermarket parts anyhow so no hassle finding them. Stay clear of RB25. Being a bigger engine they run higher compression which after 50,000 klm of being thrashed as we do, they tend to wear out quicker than the RB20

OK, I'm no expert on motors... but that statement is just wrong...... and stupid? :(

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
