As title says, could a 4 door sedan version of the R32 have enough space for some music equipment? Would I be able to fit all at once:

  • 2x 15 inch PAs
  • 2x heavy duty speaker stands
  • 1x 50W Valve combo amp. Maybe another amp of comparable size
  • 2 guitars in retangular cases
  • An acoustic guitar
  • 2 mic stands
  • Guitar rack (fits 6 guitars)
  • Few other small percussions like tambourines etc I don't have much
  • Medium-large storage box (containing leads and power plugs etc)
  • Possibly a keyboard (optional)

I probably won't be bringing everything listed here but incase I need to it's always good to know if it's capable. Maybe I should take a pic of all the stuff?

Reason for choosing the R32: I considered R31s but I just know that eventually I will be disappointed in the handling coming from an SW20 MR2. I don't want to buy a Van yet without having a fun car to drive around but I can't afford 2 cars at the moment. With the MR2 I could fit 2 PAs speakers and a few more things by removing the passenger seat but still need much more space. Also, I think I've been bitten by the RB engine eargasm bug :wacko: and I've always wanted to experience a turbo car. At least the R32 is more track ready than either a R31 or a dare say the van lol. Mate just bought an R33 so I want something different and from quick reading the R32s are lighter and more chuckable out of the box.

If there are any meets in Victoria coming up soon I'd be keen to check out a few to take some interior measurements :D

Thanks for the reply fellas I guess it was wishful thinking...I know I'm being stubborn here but I reckons I could make it work lol. Shame about the seats not being able to fold down. The Stagea is outta my price range and it's the perfect fusion between performance practicality but I think I'd rather separate that into sports car and van, whereas I'm looking more sports car with some practicality.

I'm not always gonna be lugging around this stuff but when I occasionally do I'll just take out the rear seats - how often do you even get pull over for that? Drove around with the MR2 without passenger seat plenty of times haha

Anyways if I decide to go ahead an get an R32 4 door I'll let you guys know how much I was actually able to squeeze and take a couple pics :thumbsup:

RE Attached pic: 2 speakers on the front seat, rear boot actually perfectly accomodates my rectangular guitar case (lucky!) OR a compact e-drum set. It's a stretch but I think the 4Dr R32 can do it!!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
