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

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
