Hey all,

Names DUNDAS and im new here.

I am dead set about my next car which will be an R32 2dr 5sp RB20DET....but im unsure of getting which of the two types of the AWD or the RWD... i currently drive an accord which i feel is awesome but lacks sum grunt that a standard turbo vehicle would have... i just want more torque :D/...

anyways.. it would be great for some input...

the positives and negatives of the 2 types RWD n AWD.

I was looking @ yahoomotorsports also...seems cheap and im not too fussed with respray.. but im unsure of the rusts that are on sum of the cars.

HELP ME OUT :(

hey dundas! welcome to the forum :D

i would tend to go for the RWD R32 because they are more common (more to choose from), RWD is more fun to drive & a lot lighter, nimbler handling too.

AWD you would get the traction benefit, personally (if you decided AWD option) i would be inclined to save a bit more for a GT-R

anyways good luck with the search

Hey Dundas, Welcome to the SAU SA Section,

I would have to agree with Sam there, just remember with the AWD R32's you can bypass the relay a use only the RWD, But as Sam said save up for the GTR, otherwise don't worry about the AWD traction stuff and go hard in a RWD.

Hope you find what you want!!

Darren

the gts-4 share the same gearbox with R32 GTR, which is good stuff.

Not sure how their 4wd works though (same as GTR?)

But if my memory serve me right they are pretty overweight compare to RWD version (14xxkg vs 12xxkg), which not working well with RB20, as RB20 has no down low torque :D

Ohhh ok damnz, because i was looking @ yahoo motorsport- john..and many of them are AWD... i think id prefer rwd too they have the HICAS right.. which is great anyways. Ill just sell my car soon then i can be in the Skyline family :)

Anything to look out for.. obvious on the R32? Also how is rust fixed... is it difficult/ expensive???

this should probabarbly be in the yahoo motorsport thread but does he allow you to test drive his cars, compression test them etc besides just visual inspection? If the answer is yes, then i guess the inspection of his cars would be easier for you dundas.

p.s welcome to sau-sa division =D

GTS4 Atessa system is the same as the GTR.

The extra weight and drive-train loses would put me off AWD for a R32 with RB20DET, but if you seriously intend to swap in something bigger (i.e. RB25/26/30), then i'd consider it.

Personally I'd like a 4-Door GTS4 with a RB26.

AWD can have HICAS too, but don't get too excited by it, it's no where near as "bendy as Honda's 4WS (only 1 degree). You'll find many owners disable it, and IMHO it's a gimmick, in many cases makes the rear-end unpredicable when driving at 8/10 or more.

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
