R32 4 door


Recommended Posts

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?

Hey dood, you'll get a grade 4 in mint condition easily for around 9-10k.

FMIC, 3" turbo back zorst (china luvin!), clutch, fuel pump, high flow or upgrade snail and lumpy rom and some boost should bang you a 12.

25k is huge :)

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

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
