Just bought myself a stock-as-a-rock R32 GTS-T, with only a pod filter and an exhaust (i think?... looks like 3" when i look underneath it but idk lol)

love the car, soon as i took it for a test drive, i was like FK YEAH and bought it ^^

so yeah whats the first thing to break on an R32, only got 106xxxkm on the clock and its very good nick.

only thing i can fault is it sometimes stalls when starting her up in the morning

welcome to our world.

i agree with the doing the timing belt first up, but dont stop there. give it a nice major service, oil's, coolant, brake fliud, spark plugs etc...

also something to bear in mind is the coil packs will be a bit long in the tooth.

other than that these cars are generally fairly reliable, especially when they are stock.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I meant to say, Is that $3,500 landed or is that just the sticker price in Japan?

      Same (except for the R32 bit), my son is saving for his first car which he hopes will be a Kouki V37 GT with the twin turbo 3.0L V6.... kids these days! My first car was a Renault 16 haha 😄 Sorry for the thread hijack

      Hang on a second, is it possible to get a 25det neo from Japan landed, or is there shipping/duty on top of that?

      Ye but that kinda proves GTSboy's point. What's 500 EUR at the end of the day? The END of the day being post install/setup/use. The Blackline could be great. BC Coilovers are pretty great too. "Cheap" alternatives can turn out to be well worth the money and be new bang for buck options. The DIY and cutting half shafts option though.... less so. I'm a big fan of buy once, cry once, which has resulted in me doing everything a large number of times anyway lol.

      A big issue with these is, unlike the R200, diffs are super expensive. The Blacklines are about €800, Quaife is €1,300-1,500 and any clutch LSD is the best part of €2,000. Have a look on some of the BMW forums, the Blackline has really good reviews for track use - I’m sure not if you’re subjecting it to extreme high performance - but it’s enough for me to go for it.
