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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
