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 It has the blue-face gauges, and the stock wing has been replaced by a GTR item.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... :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
