Looking at an R32 4 door, but know nothing about them, bar they look hot with some rims and a kit.

So, what sort of price can they be had for? I'm not too keen on importing a car under the 15 year rule, unless anyone can reassure me.

What sort of mod's do they need to get into the 12's? I was thinking exhaust, FMIC, turbo (with ext gate of course :) ) and some ECU....

Anyone got any pics of them they can show me?

Budget of $25k. Is this reasonable?

Paul,

Long time no speak. Go and speak to jason aka Tool. He has just brought one in and has just slammed it on 18s. Looks hot. Got his throught Prestige so he might have a few things to tell you about in regards to getting one imported.

As for your budget for 25k...Im gathering that this is for the car as well as the associated modifications?? If so, you should be able to do it. Just go for a decent size turbo, FMIC as you have said, and all of the other basic mods (filter, exhaust etc).

If it still has the RB20DET in it then go for a pair of GTR cams (IN and EX), GTR pump, GTR 444cc Injectors, and adjustable gears, as well as a Power FC. Get this all tuned and you should get some nice numbers.

If it makes around 310ish rwhp that will net you a 12. Daves car has done this with very similar sort of power.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

D

Yeah Dan, been hiding, trying to save money to finish the WRX, but think its time to abandon ship and go back to full time study. :)

Sounds good, I think an R32 4 door in the 12's would be a good fun car.

I will see if I can get in contact with him to have a chat.

Anyone care to advise me a bit about importing? I know nothing of it, but am very wary!

gtst89 - is that price landed, complied and everything?

Any problems fitting 19's? :headspin:

How does this sound?

R32 4 door - $12k?

Turbo - GT28RS? Cheap HKS turbo? Maybe a smaller Innovative Turbo? $2K?

Gate - already got 38 mm Tial

China Manifold - $500?

Exhaust - $1k?

FMIC - $1,500?

Bodykit - $2k?

Rims - $3k?

Suspension - $1,500?

Microtech - $1,500?

Fuel system - $1,500?

Clutch - $1,000

$27k....

Exhaust - hopefully the car will already have one. So that saves you some money.

Fuel System - Hopefully wouldnt be 1,500. GTR injectors can be had for $300, then just upgrade the pump ($300) then maybe a reg.? Easily under 1k.

Be careful with the clutches....Dave and I, as well as JiMiH from these forms have had bad troubles with clutches. We have all broken the clutch pedal boxes, which require re welding once ****ed up. This happened to me the other day at a major intersection, middle lane, clutch pedal box broke.....no clutch. Had to get it towed.

So I suggest getting it beefed up when you put a big clutch in it.....just incase it sticks you up

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
