R32gtr Rear Subframe

I am currently chasing myself a R32 GTR subframe, and have used the usual avenues (wreckers) to which i have since found out cant be looking for what im searching for as they told me they are chasing a R32gtr subframe non-HICAS model to which i find out doesnt exist.

Im a member on the silvia equivelant site NS.com and own an s13 model car. Is the same technique used for locking the hicas on an R32 as on S13s' namely ebing the HICAS lock bars?

I changed my HICAS subframe to a non HICAS s13 subframe previously but now with to 'upgrade' to the GTR gear, namely to get the brakes diff options, and thicker halfshafts (these arent the only reasons). i realize the easier route would be to go a 32gtst subframe and then upgrade the brakes and the rest but i wish to start with the better gear anyways as thats how i do things (odd i know).

Is there anything else that can be done, as the reason i changed my subframe and jsut didnt get the lockbar is because nissan would have just used a lockbar on there non hicas cars if it was as good as the proper subframe with rear traction arms.

HICAS the only fix?

thanks for any help guys/gals

GTS-t rear brakes are the same as GTR (non V-spec), except rotors aren't cross drilled. GTR has lighter hubs though. There is nothing wrong with the hicas subframes

I think by traction arms you mean toe arms. Traction arms are at the front at 45deg to the drive shafts. I'm not too sure how strong the non hicas subframe is as there is aftermarket bracing made for it. Also if you get camber adjustment, you also need aftermarket toe arms/adjustment to adjust things properly, there isn't too much adjustment in the stock arms

thanks for the reply guy, as far as i was aware, coming form word of mouth though, 32gtr calllipuers are cast alloy, not iron, and the 32gtr brakes then became standard issue for the r33 series, with the 33gtr being bigger again.

anyways, yeah it was the toe arms i was referring 2, the ones that the hicas rack replace on a non hicas frame.

im handy with a MIG so i could brace my own subframe (non hicas) and use 32gtst LCAs' and a r33gtst setup for brakes and hubs. i was just hoping i could use a complete item but the difference i experienced from hicas to non hicas really is stuck in my mind and would be a point i would consider overlooking the gtr frame for.

You're thinkin of the front.

R32 GTS-t/Z32 = 280x30

R32 GTR = 296x32 (non Brembo)

R33 GTS-t = 296x30 (same calipers as R32 GTR though)

All of them are alloy, S14/S15 had cast iron front calipers.

For all of those brakes though, the rear calipers are the same

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
