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.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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  
    • 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.
