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!

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
