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

Cheers

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!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
