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

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
