Non-turbo R32's, Any Good As A First Car?

[Rallye]

I've had an NA z32, performs much better than any NA skyline.

yes the r32 only has the rb20 which is a 2.0L whereas the later models get the 2.5L (although there were still some 2.0L versions). to be honest if you are just looking at getting a cheap first car, get a n15 SSS pulsar. it has the SR20 in it and the car is much newer than the r32 (by as much as about 10 years). insurance will be much cheaper as they were sold here by nissan, and parts are also much easier to get.

performance wise it would probably out perform the r32 gts (that is the base model, the gts-t is the turbo version) because even though it puts out fractionally less power and torque (although peak torque is 800rpm lower in the rev range), because the car is much lighter it will still perform well. i have one and it will happily tow my 3.6m boat on the highway and i can even overtake cars easily while towing. in fact one day i was able to pass a landcruising towing a 4.5m boat up a hill in overtaking lanes when he started slowing down due to the steepness of the hill. since you were looking at an ae111 you obviously aren't too fussed about whether the car is fwd or rwd which opens up your options much more.

you will find a tidy SSS pulsar for under $10,000 and there are plenty out there with reasonably low kms.

not true, ive got a non turbo r32 and its stock except a cat back exhasut, and i pull away from n15 pulsars....mines for sale if anyone's interested...

yeah probably the 1.6L pulsars. go up against a SSS driven by someone who is actually trying then get back to me. i've gone up against a natro r33 and beaten it in mine, as well as a stock turbo cefiro and beaten it.

This, i'd be suprised if an R32 GTS could beat a Subaru RX or a mirage/Lancer

Hey guys,

I've lately taken a interest in Non turbo R32's. I was originally planning on getting a AE111 as a first car but my price limit is $10 000 and thats really pushing it for that type of car.

I just wanted to know if they are any good as a first cars? Usual things like: Reliability, Insurance, Fuel etc

I searched here on SAU and found a thread saying that they are known as GTS's, though I typed that in the keyword section of Carsales and only GTS-T's came up.

Also in the same thread someone said they are weaker than R33 and R34 NT's beacause it has a 2.0L so it needs high revs to keep it going.

Any owners out there please come forward with past good/bad experiences.

Cheers,

hey mate i hav a R32 with a RB25 engine in it this cars so dont listen to people when they say that R32 only come with Rb20s ive had myne for abt 1yr now iam happy with it oly brought it for abt 6k did a 1k RWC and i was back on the road. I havnt got insurance on it so i cant really tell u abt that. as for fuel i get around 300/400km per tank but all depands on the wy u drive.
