ok

i took this r32 gts-t today for a drive

its incredible, the boost and torque, i know its nothing new to you guys but it was my first time in a turbo charged car.

but the car seems a lil dodgy

the engine plates says its a rb20de

but it clearly has a turbo

mods that i could see were:

big blue pod air filter

3" cat back full exhaust

gtr FMIC

heavy duty clutch

17" colour coded rims

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

but im not too sure about this car. i want to buy it tho.

im thinking it was a non turbo r32 gts cos it has the blue GT badges on the side

and the engine was replaced with a rb20det

or a turbo was just bolted on to the original rb20de

but im leaning towards it being a replaced engine because the kms are 60k kms which is pretty low for a 92 car.

But yeah its black which i love and the guy is located clive st Westall along center rd

jus wanna know what you guys think.

It drives great but it idles a bit too low for my liking. ( Bloody stalled it 2 times! haha) and i gotta get used to that heavy clutch

any advice people? price about 16k covers everything including rego but can prolli get it lower.

Thanks

So, if your car gets stolen and written off.. you get a whole $5000 back on a $16,000 car... sounds fair doesnt it?

Depends, then again if you're paying $5000 on insurance a year (which they do quote to young guys) its going to have to be a pretty serious accident to totally write off the car. 3 years times at least $4000 is going to cost you the value of that car... so well depends.

The whole "third party fire and theft" thing covering up to only $5000 or whatever is ridiculous, you may as well not have the theft part as its so token.

plz dun turn this into insurance thread. go post in the other threads. Im not gonna pay 5k a year to insure a car. its not worth it for a 10 year old car. Third party will do fine. it will be my fault entirely if i get the car smacked and i deserve to have it written off. which is why im not planning to smack this car. If it gets smacked it won't be my fault, it will be the other persons fault. I want to drive carefully.

but phew taking it for a run today was such a breath taker. meggala!!!

what color is dr drift selling his r32? and is he selling cheaper price with rego? and where is he located?

if u can find same car with same mods cheaper price ill be really grateful b'cos lately r32s have been really hard to find a decent one. And i dun wanna take the risk of importing incase it arrives late and i have to bypass the new laws in Feburary which will screw everything up.

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

hahaha u gotta be carefull when used car sales men start talking like this! Usually it means 'I dont know what i am talking about, i am just saying to you so u buy the car'

:)

yeah ill ask the guy tomolo

yeah the idling was a bit weird

when i was reversing and like holding the clutch in, the idle kept alternating between 0 and 1000 rpm

but ill take a proper look tomolo

and report back

and take down the engine number

you can have my car for $15k :) (no seriously)

mostly stock cept for 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust n extractors, dun 50k km (got it with 39k genuine kms)

Sounds like you've got a GTS that's got a turbo kit bolted on (exactly like meggala's), which means you'll never get a stock turbo on it.

The dealers pulling your tail if he reckons its never been trashed. The only reason sumone would turbo a GTS is if they wanted it to go faster and if it did go faster I'm SURE they'd have trashed it.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
