Heya all,

As the topic suggests, I just put a deposit down on a 32, looks to be mainly stock (only exhaust and slight bodywork). It's an auto, but will be converted to manual. It has the blue-face gauges, and the stock wing has been replaced by a GTR item.

I've got a few questions to ask of you all who know much more about 32's than myself, being new to the game. First of all, how can you tell if it's a 'Type M' or not? I've heard mixed signals but nothing conclusive.

Second, and this is mainly opinion, whats the deal with owning a 32? How do they hold up driving everyday, out racing on the track, or winding through the hills? I haven't really been for a belt in one yet behind the wheel, but am teaming with anticipation. I'm also getting the stock GTS-T indicators replaced by GTR items to continue the illusion :D

All I know is, it's going to be a long-ass month before this car arrives from Japan and gets done with compliance and what-not. I can't wait! :angry:

1. easiest and most conclusive way is to get someone to run the VIN through the nissan FAST software

2. they go well enough if its your first import... i was following one of the local GTR boys through the hills on the GOR in Melbourne and kept up "ok" with him considering the major power and handling differences. Definately a fun car and the reason i bought another one and should hopefully be here by xmas :angry:

What recommendation do you have for getting more torque, without the obvious put-in-an-RB26-and-whack-on-a-huge-turbo route. I won't really be able to modify it until I pay it off (wife's orders), but I might be able to sneak in a mod here and there... :)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
