Depends weather or not you are doing the labor yourself ...

Parts aren't all that expensive for R32's ya just gotta know where to source ya parts from ...

Im building up an R32 GTS auto atm ...

Just replaced the R32 auto gearbox with a replacement auto gearbox out of an R33 GTS-T series 2

The gearboxes are exactly the same the only difference between the boxes is you will have to use your R32 speedo in the R33 gearbox as the R33 uses a Digital speedo unit ...

the reason i wanna keep mine and turn into a gts-t is cause my car isnt worth much and soon im gonna need to put a new engine in it anyway weather it is a standard gts or convert it to gts-t cause its done alot of ks which i dont think anyone would buy in such a hurry and i just started putting bodykit on it etc its got to many mods i like to wanna have to go through the trouble to do again like mods not to do with engine.

I know what ya feel like dude ...

My GTS has a few mods under it's belt allready hence the reason why I dont want to sell and buy a GTS-T I would rather keep modding my GTS

my list :-

Pedders Sportsrider lowered suspention all round

Full Nolathane bush kit for the whole car

R33 N/A rear brakes

Larger upgraded red rear swaybar (pedders item most likely)

Japanese aftermarket adjustable strut brace up front

has a K&N pod filter

has a 2.5" catback exhaust with canon muffler

R33 series 2 - 4spd Automatic gearbox with R33 series 2 Torque converter and Driveplate and stage 2 shiftkit valvebody upgrade

So the car is starting to be setup for more power allready the gearbox can handle more power ...

Next on my list is Z32 300zx 4 piston front calipers and fit them to my GTS knuckles and still use the stock 274mm front discs and 4 stud hubs ... will be running 17" wheels to allow for the larger calipers

that should see me stop well ... the GTS-T brake discs are 5 stud and 280mm so there is only a 6mm difference in size which aint really much at all hence why I want to stay 4 stud and keep a few people guessing ...

if you want a decent upgrade grab some Z32 brake calipers, or even just the GTSt calipers. and a bigger brake booster, helps abit

    • Ha ha ha! You'll hate most cars, especially as a daily with all their beeping and booping and trying to constantly adjust everything because "we're smart, and we think we can work out what you want" except they don't understand, when previously you opened the throttle to 60% and it was fun and quick and gave plenty of power, just because you've driven sedately for the last 2 weeks, doesn't mean you want less performance, or you don't want the gearbox to go back a gear like it did last time you were at 60% throttle! Even the EV Kona I had did this sort of bullshit, and that's even if you last drove it hard in sports mode, and then pandered it in eco, then put it back in sports mode for the blat, it would be really soft in sport mode for the first few heavy hits of the throttle, and then it would really start to crisp the throttle up. It made it stupidly frustrating when daily driving it! Plus all the new electronic steering systems that are so delayed, and I haven't found a single production vehicle with electronic throttle I've been satisfied with, all because the ECU gets to choose how much throttle you're really getting and that means, there is going to be delays.
    • Good idea.  It's been a long time since I've driven anything modern-ish/sporty-ish thing. Last thing I drove was a Kia Stinger GT and I thought it was rubbish =/
    • I recently calculated how much I've spent in paint and bodypart bits. All for currently 0 performance improvement. If I never did the heads or paint I would have been able to just buy one of the M4's and have 10k in change. That's how un-fun M4's are 
    • Por que no los dos? The very definition of the sunk cost fallacy. But one that I am perfectly happy to live with.  
    • Rent one. I drove a M4 Comp DCT and it was the most un-inspiring thing I've ever driven. Annoyingly, I still seem to want one/think M cars are 'cool'? Badge Engineering/Marketting is a big thing. It may be because a M car that has been modded to be rougher/trackier could end up being in a sweet spot of 'actually engaging' as opposed to taking a normally fun car and making it too rough to daily. There's something about a M4 with a half cage and carbon door cards and M colored straps etc that is appealing for reasons I don't quite understand. But from driving one, it was awful. Definitely try properly before you can't go back.
