[TeeGee]

hey guys,

i am currently on the search for an R32 GTS4 non turbo,

i have seen some on japanese bidding sites, but i am unsure of who to go through ?

i really dnt want to get a dud.

every importer i have emailed, replies saying they dnt have the lisence to import r32 gts4's

does anyone know of an importer, more likabley in NSW

or a gts4 for sale all non turbo r32's considered.

cheers, Taylor.

There aren't any non-turbo R32s eligible for import mate, sorry. GTS-4s were turbo. You'll need to get an R33 or something completely different.

Just curious why is this so?

I purchased an R32 GTS25 that had been imported to Aus around 2002. But as a personal import I think. Any difference?

Edit: If my memory serves me right I think the car came from NZ not straight from Japan if that would also affect it?

When they switched to SEVS in 2005, the NA models never met the new power/weight requirements. Same with NA S13s and 180SXs.

Ah I see, is it possible to import them even as race-only or is it a no-go what so ever?

Why would you want to import an NA as a race car???

to do a number job on it

GTS4-turbo - yep thats doable ( I asked the question about a month ago.) but you would REALLY want to know what you are look at from a distance.

yeahh i didnt think the gts-4 came non turbo but a sight miss lead me

i know there is the gts non turbo r32 with an rb25de in it ?

but im guessing the power to weight is also a struggle.. i would really like a non turbo r32,

do to my stupid P plate restrictions.

Yea GTS-25. I have one, I will tell you now it is no struggle or push over. It gets up and boogies! It would have to have at least 110-120kw at the wheels in dead stock form. Torque is awesome and pulls all the way to redline.

Possibly the best value for money option if you have some mechanical ability/cheap help, would be to buy a turbo, swap for an NA motor for your P plate years and then re-install the turbo engine if the car is still intact at the end of that time

Pretty much any import you bring over (that IS allowed) will cost 6k or more on top of the car cost by the time you have it on road. lots of R32s around for much less than that.
