and NO i'm not saying r32's are overpriced just because they're too expensive for me.

like i said i've seen and know of decent examples of r32s and r33s that have gone for that much.

Yeah this sounds 'decent'.....

guys, i think i might have found something. although its damaged but end product should/would be sweet as. we'll see how it goes...

You and I clearly have different opinions on what a decent car is. I shudder to think at the heap of an R32 that you end up with....

I bought an R32 for 8k. and it is a fantastic car..

body is perfect interior is perfect and it is manual and turbo. it was a NA form factory and had the RB20det installed.

gearbox was crunching and it had NA diff and brakes.

I have upgraded the box, brakes and diff plus about every single part in the car but even in the condition it was in when i bought it it was a really nice car.

I looked for a couple of months to find a really clean body that was fairly cheap to start modding.

I now have a 240rwkw gtst with LSD GTR 324mm brakes good handling and all up it has cost me less than 14k. but it was a lot of work.

If you are prepared to do all the work yourself and spend bit by bit every month you will get what you want. I am saving $2,000 a month for a house so buying anything on credit for me was a NO NO.

you can buy something fun for 8k but it will take a couple of months to find a good example and your choices will be limited. and my advice would be buy something that has not been modded because a medded 8k car will be thrashed...

This is the point I am trying to make. Any manual R32 GTS-T for $8k is going to need a lot spent on it to make it good....

Go buy it then.... I hope it is all that it should be..... :)

If it was me I would budget more and get something like this:

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...2&trecs=110

Then get a full respray, rims, suspension give the interior a good clean out and rip out those monster gauges.

You might get that for $8,500... respray $2k, wheels $2k, suspension $1k = $13,500 for a nice clean 32. Then you can think about performance mode etc. But again, $8k for a 32 is only a starting point there will always be plenty more to spend. Otherwise leave it as is and its just another less than average car....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
