I was recently out at Mallala and I came out of turn 2 and then everything went to crap. Turns out I broke one of the lower control arm mounts on the rear subframe :) Dunno how it happenened, I didn't clip the ripple strip or hit anything?

Anyway, the car is an R32 GTS-t, and I was just wondering what other subframes I can get so that everything will bolt up. I currently have access to an S14 subframe, but I heard the R32 diff doesn't bolt up to them properly. Also have access to another R32 subframe (for free), but it has "a small stress mark" on it. I havn't looked at it yet, but would any sort of mark on the subframe be something to avoid?

Cheers

Ah, too late, just got the another R32 subframe. Just the subframe itself, no arms arms, hubs or anything.

Full-Race Geoff, can I ask what is better about the S14 subframe? I wanted to find a hicas subframe though cos I'm cheap and didn't want to buy toe arms :( Already have hicas locked, so it's not a problem

Yeah, that's what I did, added more weld on the inside of it. Shouldn't break off now :domokun:

I actually split the bracket in half though, so reattaching wouldn't be the best. Are they fine to just reweld back on if they come off cleanly?

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
