Hey guys,

I am thining of buying a Skyline R32 Gts-t, and just found your site....Very cool site by the way. Most impressed. Anyway, Just wondering what sort of car are they to drive?

I know it seems stupid, but I always like the look and performace of them, but I would rather here if you guys have had problems. Are they easy to modify? Are they easy to drive. You know. Since you never find these things out till after we buy one and hand over our cash after a 10 minute test drive.

I am 35 with 60% NCb so insurance shouldn't be too high I hope.

But i am after a car thats fast straigh outta the blocks, but one that I can play with later on and upgrade without a shitload of hassles.

Thanks guys

:bat: :sadam: :bat: :ufo:

Mate I love your ICONs too...so cool......glad I found this place

The R32 GTS-t isn't very fast "straight outta the blocks"... But with a few modifications it can definitely hold it's own...

What cars have you previously owned? By that, I'm trying to get a feel of what kind of power you've experienced before and better point you into the right direction. I have a feeling an R32 GTR would be better suited for you... They have a lot more torque and come on boost a lot harder (but later) than the GTS-t.

Some people might not agree with me on this one, but if i were buying a gtst i'd take an R33. Sure they're as common as muck, but for the little bit extra cash you get a slightly newer car with roughly the same power. If your set on a 32 tho, i agree with merli, get a GTR, it will cost you a few grand more than a r33 gtst, but its lighter and faster. Plus with yr insurance it shouldnt be too pricey.

Plus add 1500 to your purchase price for your new exhaust from the turbo back, if it doesnt have one already and you have a nice base you can drive on for a bit until you get some cash together for the expensive bits.

Problems with skylines

1.Insurance but I dotn see problem with you

2.too Many of them out there...

3.Expensive parts it can be costly to fix... some insurance company take write off option for minor accidnets that are fixable(is that a word)

4.break in/ theift Pron especially when you have some mods

5.HICAS is damm bitch!!!

6.if you are buying for modd its Money drainer but like eveything else how much you put in you will get out of skylines

7.Aircon probs with R33 damm wind accurator makes tick tick tick sounds when car starts up

8.ENGINE IS VERY GOOD regualr maintance and TLC will go long way!

9. end of the day its your money and there are many skyklines out there so do some STUDY on the car before you flash $$$$

chers

Hey thanks for the quick responses guys, i see you are real fans.

To answer Merli's questio, I haven't had many cars due to work but have a EF falcon V6 at the moment and have driven My brothers 400+ hp XB falcon UTE. Plus others cars I had were GTI swift and 74 929 mazda (yuck - non rotary).

But I am serious about my next car being a Import 4 and the Skyline is top of the list.

I would love the GT-R but I am limitied with a budget of about $17500-$20000 to spend so I thought I might start with a GTS-t. There are 2 other cars on my shopping list but you might want to skip reading this bit. They are the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R and the MR 2 Turbo. All in my limite.

Thanks again guys

and gals. :devfu:

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
