Hey guys, so im currently in the market looking for a car. 

Ive been offered a NA R32, with 220xxx. Seller said no leaks or issues with the car other than minor paint fade. However, the car has 220xxx kms and im looking to use it as a daily. Apparently it is the orginial rb25de and hasn't been engine swapped. (How do i know this for certain?) Is it a good idea to do this? Also if the car is defected, i've seen horror stories with people having to sell them off as track cars (Why is that?) Please help me decide. He wants 7k ono, but im not sure if its the best decision tbh. 

 

Cheers

Actually, I will stand up and say that an R32 GTS25 wouldn't be a bad daily.  Certainly not fast, and for that reason may not have been thrashed.  But if it shows any signs of being in anything other than really great condition, then do not pass go, do not exchange $200 for it.  Simply not worth the investment.  For $4k (its absolute max value) you could get something less than half as old with many fewer miles done.

Full admission.....I have a sneaking want to put a supercharger on an RB25 R32.  But would need a diff and brakes and suspension and turn something supposedly cheap into a dollar pit.

Would have to be immaculate. RB25DE R32 would be a great daily.
But as above, be prepared to wrench or spend money on it, all cars require maintenance, especially older ones.

 

People sell defected cars as track only because their car is unroadworthy and too expensive to bring back to roadworthy condition.

for $7k I would go buy a Mazda 3 BK SP23 or even Sports MAXX

Light years ahead of the R32 RB20DE, safer, quieter, faster, everything better, dual zone climate control.

Yuh, but this one is at least an RB25, so it will at least have enough torque to drive away from a set of traffic lights faster than a 3 yr old on a tricycle.  With a set of cams and decent exhaust, they sound alright and could be a bit of fun.  Just not fast.

Here’s is my advice to a young lad. 

 

Buy a car for 2000

 

Buy 5 diamond rings worth 1000 each 

 

give one to the sexiest chick you meet . It is a bold move and shows you are serious . You still have 4 spares. 

Surely you will bag a hot chick with this technique 

hopefully she has a nice car

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
