Hi there people.

Iv been searching around for a while now trying to find the exact model gts't that came out with the "GTS" or "ca18det" four stud hub and brake setup. Iv had a few people tell me now that all r32's fitted with the silvertop rb20det came with the 5stud hubs from the factory but i believe otherwise. I have seen 2 gts't skylines when i was up in queensland and 1 down here in adelaide that were apparently factory fitted turbo models but had the same brakes and hubs as my 32 GTS. I actually seen the original factory compliance plate on one of these cars and it said rb20det however the owner of the car could not tell me much about it except that he baught the car direct from japan and the car had no worries with getting through regency inspection.

The reason i need to find proof of the existance of 4stud gts'ts is because regency have told me that if i can proove in writing that they exist standard from the factory then all i need to do is have my car inspected after i do my turbo conversion for general roadworthiness instead of going through all the testing bull crap.

Any info or hints as to wher i can find what im after would be greatly appreciated.

there were r32's released with ca18det's in them and I think they were 4-stud, when I was looking for a car to buy one of the car's j-spec showed me was a ca18det

from memory, it was explained to me at the time that these were some sort of production test release, which is probably why you can't find much info on them.

I'll try and dig up the pictures that I was sent of the car...

yeah iv heard of the cadet 32, and yeah your right i think it does have the gts hub. however this one i saw definately had the rb0det as standard cos the plates matched the number.

BH Dave i didnt know you could option the turbo in on gts models. but logically i think that may be the answer.

anyone else?

5 stud:

R32 GTSt type m - RB20DET

R32 GTSt - RB20DET

4 stud:

R32 GTS type s - RB20DE

R32 GTS - RB20DE

R32 GTE - RB20E

(im pretty sure all the R32 non turbo's had S13 CA18DET brakes...anyone know for sure?

Its most likely if you see a turbo R32 with 4 stud hubs then it has been converted from a non-turbo to a turbo!

Also there were no such thing as a R32 with a CA18DET...the very base spec R32 had a CA18i (carby 1.8ltr heap of junk...i feel very sorry for anyone who has one..id be very suprised it many if any were imported over here)

ok thanks fellas.

recently while comparing my gts brakes o my wifes gts't i noticed that they are exacltly identical. Iv measured everything etc and i cant find any difference. The only difference i can see is the 5 studs coming out of the hub.

My latest idea around spending all that money in ditching my hubs and everything to convert to the 5stud is to redrill my hubs and discs with holes for 5studs to go in and fill over the old stud holes. A friend of mine whos rather good with mechanical things that i told and demonstarted my idea to rekons it would work. Iv already got multistud wheels as well.

based on my comparisons and measurments i cant see why it wouldn't work either.

Can anyone shed some light on whether or not this idea is falible or not?

Thanks again!

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
