Hey guys,

As you can see my parents are going to buy me a Golf R32. Anyways, I dont know alot about these car and wondering whether any of you have?

Anyone driven one? Been in one? Draged one? Any comments or questions are welcome.

Cheers

OC

Rightio then.

Looks aside, they are hideously overpriced car - end of story.

Yes they are going to buy me a Golf R32, but I also have the Stagea, and yes I have bought parts for it. That will be used for a delivery car now. But thanks to all of you who think this thread is Bullsh*t. Why on earth would I make it up?

*COUGH* BULLSHITE

"R" = 'racing' (see integra type-r, HSV GTS-R, jag xj-R... want more?)

"32" = 3.2 V6...

I willl pardon the ignorance, but there are other cars apart from "Nissan Skyline".

Yes please give me more!

You are a fool.

You know damn well what I meant was that until the Golf R32, the only thing that would show up on a search for "R32" on the web would be an R32 Skyline.

Of all the letter and number combinations, they had to pick one that is identical to a Skyline?

I don't "know damn well" what you implied from your post. Because I didn't take the same view as to your 'implication' means that your post must be open to interpretation. On this basis, my previous post explaining clearly how the badge designation is determined, answers your question exactly.

My quip of 'ignorance' to other cars and 'want more' was directed to the greater Skyline community who can't see beyond nissans - no different to HSV / FPV / other manufacturer enthusiasts.

Your agressive reply has merely reinforced my assumptions of narrow mindedness.

What is wrong with you people? What is this mines_datsun thingy? My folks are buying me a Golf R32, just a congrats would do. You dont wanna give me any advice about them, dont post. I dont care about your accusations because I know they are not true, seriously give me a good reason why I would lie bout this?

Anyways, bout the Stagea, CSV Imports has got me one (mates from way back), should be landed here in about 3 monthes. It is going to be used as a delivery vehicle for my parents as I would not be able to drive it because it is turbo'd. However, they are registering under their business, so I will be able to do deliveries. Yes I have bought parts for the Stag, but what do you expect me to do? Tell them "no I dont want the Golf, dont buy it"...?

The golf r32 is a very nice little car, drives well. but I wouldn't go and line up wrxs or 200sx or similar japanese cars on the road. Once moving it drives brilliant, just pray to god it stay together if you're gonna drive it hard. One thing to remember japanese cars will handle a fair bit more of abuse than their euroupean counterpart.

So do you go to Grammar or SFX? thats where most of the rich kids go in newcastle lol (dont get cut i was unfortunate enough to be sent to grammar). Why have you parents decided to give you this car, cant wait to see it on the road if you do get it. they look great and i have only ever seen one blue one around the warners bay area.

One of my friends test drove a Golf R32 when he was going to get rid of his S15.

He said it was a nice comfy car, but not the most spirited drive. It was pretty cool to drive a lag-free 4WD vehicle, but it still understeers a fair amount and the handling is a little remote. Its undoubtedly quick, but not engaging.

Your parents should not be buying you cars...

Bothers me off about the "R32" name too.. they could have at least chosen something else, rather than another popular model number. Sure, the original probably wasn't ever common in europe, but that is besides the point.

It's like naming a hyundai or something a HSV - imagine how peev'ed people would be down here. Would be only pissing off 18 million aussies at max, but boy would they not be happy.

so the point in your post was....?

to seek praise and admiration from people, most of whom you would never have met and are never likely to meet?

well if that's the case - "congratulations OC i wish i was as lucky you and my parents bought me a golf R32. you are so cool"

that what you were after?

i'm sure its a nice car and you are excited about it but posting a thread like that you have to expect some negative replies

Why are you posting on a skyline forum about a Golf R32? Surely a VW forum would be better, especially if you want advice. I have seen many and fortunate enough to have a mate who works for Audi in the UK so have been in a couple. Yes they are quick but at the stage I went in them, they were new on the market so teething problems had not even emerged.

I would recommend you find a good VW forum to seek further information on the R32

Nope wasnt seeking admiration. Just a bit of advice. If you dont have any, dont post.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
