Hello All,

Just joined in need of some advice.

I am looking at a white R32 GTS Non-turbo in springvale VIC on carsales.com.au

i am just wondering what they are like, and is it wise to go non-turbo

Also just want some genral info on the car

For example what is the engine in it i think it's a RB20DET am i correct?

Also is it worth droping a RB25DETT into them after i get off my p's?

Thanks in advance all

Cheers

the GTS has a RB20DE... its nearly the same as the GTS-T ...but no turbo. and the hub is a 4 stud, not a 5 stud

they are a preety good car, cause you can use the GTS-T parts on it.... so you wont be short of parts. as for power.... its ok, you wont be running any 11 sec 1/4 mile passes thats forsure

i think one of my friends are selling one, let me know if your keen

rims, side skirts, exhaust, lowered, manual

If it's non turbo its a RB25DE

If your on your p's you'll get ALOT of cop attention. I'm on my ps and a dickhead cop stopped me at a booze bus and said i can;t drive my NA 34 coz its too powerful, the idiot gave me a fine and took 3 points so i had to go get a dyno done on it to say its under power:weight ratio and what not, so i got the dyno sheet in the glove box just incase it happens again, got the fine squashed and points back though.

Um if your a p-plater (depending when you got your p's) you can't have a turbo

RB20DET - the T stands for turbo - GTST

RB20DE is non turbo - GTS

depends how long u have left on your Ps, personally I think its better to wait and just get a turbo.. whole bunch of hassles swapping the engine over later, in my opinion... might as well just get an R33 when u can.

Can you still get a turbo/R32 on your Ps? I can't keep up with the new laws.

Nah if you got your P's after july 07 you can't have any turbo (except for turbo diesel vehicles)

rb25de - "Jack loses 5 points" hehe :D

just be sure to not think of an R32 as an 'asset' or 'investment'.. think of it like buying drinks for a girl at a bar.. you might get somewhere.. but at the end of the day its just more of a pain in the ar5e than anything

Yup, restricted from turbo's, v8's and powerfull v6's.

IMO you should go for an NA silvia (SR20DE), from memory they make around 115kw? they are lighter then the skyline and slighty less attractive to cops imo... Drive this around until you get your full license then sell up for a turbo skyline..

Anyways, GL!

haha the knobhead cop who stopped me was like "hey mate you know you cant drive this" Im like "ummmmm pretty sure i can" hes like "nah rb25 is too powerful, your only allowed to drive an rb20" im like "dude you've got no idea what your on about and your a TRAFFIC COP!!"

got outta the fine and got my points back...

got done for speeding a few weeks later and i was talkin to the highway patrol cop who got me and he was like "OH i remember you from that night, I talked to the cop who gave you the ticket after and told him you were allowed to drive it" im like "well u coulda told him BEFORE he gave it to me, saving me abit of f**king around writing a letter to get it squashed" hes like "yeh sorry, anyway, heres your fine and you lose your license for a month, have a good one cya" lol

:D

You got rolled by that cop...

wow you guys reply fast thanks,

So uh does the R32 GTS have a RB20DE or a RB25DE??? lol there are two answers there :(

Um yeah im on the new laws with the non turbo licence which is crap but meh will live with it

Um LEANBAC i would realy prefer a Skyline over a civic mate, if i wanted a civic i would have looked up a civic site :)

Anyway has anyone had a look at the car im talking about, on either web or in person?

Cheers

Thanks again for fast replys

the R32 GTS came out with an RB20DE and an RB25DE. the GXi model came out with a CA18i but you'll never find one in aus. the only turbo engine that came out rear wheel drive was the RB20DET.

i would personally wait until you were off your P's so you can get a turbo skyline, as there's a lot more room for modification and less hassles with engine swaps. a friend of mine has a GTS RB20DE and the power just doesn't compare if that's what you're looking for.

yeh i'd do the same..seriously not worth getting a non turbo r32 then spending a whole heap of cash dropping in a turbo engine because its not just the engine you have to change in a non turbo 32 to get it up to speed with a gtst but if you must get one, sell it when ur ready to get a gtst. personally getting a r33 gts/gts4 would be alot better because of it being newer.

get something like a CB lancer gsr, something with vtec, pulsar sss or as someone else mentioned, a silvia. alot cheaper and parts are everywhere.

I got pulled over, cop said i wasnt allowed to drive a R32 turbo on my P's even if i've got my P's before july 07 he didnt know what he was talking about! Then he was argueing that my car was a GTR lol.. he had no idea about skylines, i had so much shit i culdve been done for.. eg pod/fmic he pointed that out but i said nah thats no pod its a CAI its allowed its not counted as a intake mod and he beleived me lol

As the others have said

Get the non-turbo for now, and then the turbo in 3-4 years (or whatever it is).

dont bother converting/swapping parts etc. R34's will be cheap as chips in 3-4 years so just save your coin and start from the much newer/better base if anything

:)

Um LEANBAC i would realy prefer a Skyline over a civic mate, if i wanted a civic i would have looked up a civic site :)

Jeese LEANBAC, like OMG, he wants a skyline ule!

PS: I've taken one of the new Civic Type R's for a spin. They go pretty good. I was damn surprised that even while hoofing it around corners, little-to-no understeer thanks to all the fancy electronic features built in. Good fun. The brakes work well too... :)

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
