Hey guys

I hate to say this but i am a toyota nut! Have been for many years now and i am a member of toymods car club australia but recently my interst in skylines has become stronger and stronger and really want to buy one for my next car. The car i am looking at getting is a GTS r32 4dr as i really have a passion for the 4dr skylines.

Anyways just thought i would say hi!

Cheers Dean

don't be harsh on the newbie... not everyone has the same tastes/priorities in life as you.

welcome, and hope you can gain as much knowledge from here to make your skylining experience enjoyable.

hey mate

nice to see another one that has seen the stovetop lights.

seriously though.... there is more than just the engine that is different on the turbo and non turbo models...u'd be better off buying a gtst 4dr, atleast then you can sell the engine to recover some cash for your rb25... noone wants to pay much for an anchor though.

cheers

what happened to ur rb25 shan?

block's sitting in my garage recieving some TLC and hopefully soon some arias pistons. head's at a workshop, waitin to get polished when they get some spare time. Been spending more and more money and time in fixing the AE86's drivetrain n stuff so that it better suits the CA18, so my R32's is less of a priority. I want to have a good track car (not for drift like all the monkeys I speak to seem to assume) with all the problems fixed before it sees some serious work.

besides chris, where I work I get to drive all sorts of fun cars, so I don't really have the same urges as a pimply lil kid with an overpowered R33 GTSt :rofl:

De@No, buy or import an R32 4 Door GTSt or a cefiro... its a lot cheaper in the long run and a lot less headaches as an RB20 to RB25 swap isn't that easy... I'll be bold and say an RB20 to RB26DETT is an easier swap.

I thought the conversion wouldnt be that hard are the engine mounts different...ISnt the rb25det an alot more stronger motor than the rb20det and can withstand modification alot more?

i dunno... i looked at the wiring loom of an RB25 and an RB26 and the RB26 wiring loom looks more like hte RB20 one than the RB25 one.

I guess things like water pumps and fuel pumps have to be changed regardless. Maybe its just me thinking I've done the wrong thing by goin with an RB25 swap :D

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
