Yep, I want to go to 5x114.3 on my r31 (aussie). I understand I'll need import front struts for the brake calipers, but I'm at aloss on brakes themselves? Can I run r32 type m calipers and front disks? What hubs? will the r32 ones fit? and then what about wheel offset-apart from clearance for calipers, will it change the offset, with the bigger discs, different hub assy etc? could I redrill R31 hubs? I would just be redrilling the rear flanges, dunno bout disks and calipers there though. Oh and what offset are R33 gts-t stock 16" rims, stock GT-R R32 rims, and gts-t r32 rims (but only being 6.5" I dunno if I want them)?

Mainly the fronts I'm worried about, anyone able to help?

cheers,

Lambo,

I've just done the conversion to my R32 GTS25, you can buy the hubs complete, from SSS or Just Jap in Sydney... they are a straight forward swap over, the only problem is they cut the brake lines so I had to buy replacement lines for the rear, at $150... but you could get a locally made set of lines for about $60 if you didn't mind them not being perfect.

I swapped the diff over at the same time (to go to LSD) and the parts cost $2000 from SSS

That included:

4 x GTSt "Type M" Hubs

GTSt Viscous LSD

Half Shafts for new diff

If you didn't want the diff, it would cost btw $1000 - $1500

You're looking at about 6 hours labour to get it swapped over

I have just changed the rear diff internals and hubs driveshafts to gtr stuff on my gtst. So i have a 32 gtst diff viscus was not suited to 235rwkw but would be good for a gts and the driveshafts and hubs to suit. This will all bolt on to your gts and give you a 5 stud rear. Just need the rear disks and brake.

I want $350 for diff.driveshats and hubs.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
