Yes it's a 1991 R32 GTS25... Has the RB25DE Engine, and puts out 142kw... These were only made from the end of 1991 to 1993, and are very common in NZ, but I haven't seen many over here. It goes awesome, and I love the fact that it is NA. I'm currently looking at changing the block to a bored out RB30. It will be a 3.2 litre in the end, and hopefully it should go well.

Heres one for you ..

I currently drive a vs commodore and im looking to go back to my dream car and buy an r32 ..

if insurence is too much i may have to settle for a N/A

sure my commodore is nice and shit .. i just spent 3 grand on it and it doesnt look any betta then any other ocmmodore out there.

Im interested in what times a stock r32 would run compared to a stock vs commodore.

and is it worth my time making the switch if i can only get a n/a

also what kind of money am i looking at to turbo a n/a r32 for when the itme comes.

Right now be prepared to pay between 13 to 15k for an N/A R32 coz you can't get em, all da chix (face it it is a car they'd like to drive) want em, and it costs shitloads to comply em.

Even funnier are R32 GTSt's which are being flogged for 17k by some import yards.

I wouldn't expect an n/a R32 (unless its a 2.5L or 3.2L monsta) to run too well compared to a commodore, maybe a V6 or sumfing but not a V8.

a v6 commy would kill an NA r32 as the commy's don't go too bad seriously. but there would be no point getting a NA skyline if you are thinking of turboing it later on just save the hassle and go for the turo now. from my experience there is not that much a difference between the v6 and v8 commies of that era in terms of 0-100 they both do about the same coz the v8's weigh heaps more and are only like 180kw.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
