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. :D

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.

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?

15464INB.JPG

and front seats like this?

15464INA2.JPG

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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
