Info On R32's?

[Orphan]

Hey guys,

Just looking for some spec's info on the R32 (no GTR's plz). If there are any threads that cover this could you plz also give me the linky.

I'm thinking bout getting a 32 as its one of the few cars in my price range that I don't totally mind and though its a 2 door, you can actually fit people in the back if its needed, well at least they looked big enough. And boot looks to be of a decent size though i'll have to check it all out in person sometime.

What is the fuel economy for 'normal' driving? Are they very clostly to upkeep etc. Also the engines, was the RB25DE ever released as a DET in them? I was looking at some site and a RB25DET was not on it as one of the 32's engines.

Any other stuff I should consider etc would be great.

There is a 4-door version of the R32. Unless you and the front seat passenger are very short, or the rear seat passengers are like twigs, there is no such thing as rear leg room in a R32.

The R32 was not available with a RB25DET, although that engine is a popular upgrade.

Fuel economy around town appears to be around the 400-450 km range. You'll obviously do better on the highway.

thx, also been looking around the forums. What is the price range for 3rd party insurance for a 32 gts-t? As the car isn't exatly expensive i'm not sure getting full comp is the way to go as at most i'll wack on a body kit and maybe some rims if I found a good deal for non craptacular ones.

Also clear indicators? any info on those. Not sure if I like them or not but will actually compare them to the orange ones sometime. I recall them being on the original release then they changed to orange, correct me if i'm wrong thats just from what I think I remember. Are the clear the same size etc as the orange and connect the same so a swap would be easy? Just wondering - gotta find me some pics of the clear ones to compare to orange.

thx guys cool little communitiy here. I'll be sure to hang around a fair bit if I end up getting a 32 so I can bug people with my McN00bness with cheese.

EDIT: Also no TCS? I don't think i've driven a car without it. Does it make it that different and can that be added or is it a physical thing not just something to do with the ecu.

Third party realy depends on which state you're in dude. Varies quite a bit. I wouldn't know to be perfectly honest, as all my cars have always been full comp (peace of mind)

Have clear indicators on mine, came from early 32GTR, as well with the headlights, and yeah they are a straight bolt-on, three screws. That's if you can find any... sort after.

TCS?? What's that? Is it that fun stopping device? TCS = no sideways, no sideways = no fun. I think it was an option on some models dude, but not exectly sure.

Welcome aboard.

"Traction Control System" lol. I've heard 32's can have some traction problems... i think people just need to learn how to drive them... lol. People drove cars with no TCS for many years before it came along and they did fine.

Would the gallery have some pics of clear indicators?

I would like full comp but if its gonna cost me like 2k which I hope not, but it could as im not over 25 etc and haven't been driving that long, though no accidents etc currently and won't be via my fault . I'm actually getting excited about a 32 got some things i'd like to do and it seems like a solid car.

Selling our other house soon so if it sells quickly and 32 looks good i'll endevour to find one in the next 2-3 months.

Hi mate, third party will be around $600 - $700 i got mine with just cars its a r32 gtst. Go ahead and buy 1 i havnt had any regrets they're a great car try n get a type m with the bigger breaks and body kit looks fully sick. Good luck

[Orphan]

Type M? thats the all wheel steering one isn't it? Got a pic of this body kit that comes on it? I'm liking a do luck rear bumper atm but its like $700usd its just a bit of fibreglass... lol. 600-700 aye... a bit more then I was hoping but oh well... will weight up full comp vs that.

[SoFreshSoClean]

Get full comp. You wont have any body kit or car if you crash it. They look good stock anyway!

Peace of mind is a good thing dude.

3rd party on my r32 gts-t is $350 a year.. but im rating 1, 25+ so its silly to compare prices when it varies so much by age and driving history.

[Orphan]

Hey again sry been out all weekend.

Yeah I want full comp but depending on the cost... I'm still living at home so maybe get the car under my dads name and me as a driver will make it a little cheaper? He has been with the same insurance for the last like 5 years so hopefully that will mean something.

hey guys i've seen some pics of the rear seats and is it the gtr only that has rear seats like this?

and front seats like this?

I saw some dodgey cheap looking backseat think it was just the normal one... probs in the gtst etc. Just wondering if it was the GTR only or a 'luxury/sports' interior edition.

EDIT: does that rear seat fold down like in the s14's? lol edited the post above this one by accident.

*BUMP*

Sry was away for a week.

So can anyone give me some info about those seats?

Thinking bout finding a 32 at a car yard or something and giving it a test drive.

[cln]

backseats in the 32gtst dont have that hump in the middle its just flat

[Orphan]

what about the front seats? Can you pick up a set of those seats cheap?
