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?

    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent. 
    • Out of curiosity, how do officials determine what the OEM ride height and suspension specs are? Do they have a book of truth? I'd think that would be quite obscure knowledge for random JDM cars.
    • This is the check list they sign off on. This implies that adjustable coilovers of the type we're referring to are not a "Variable Ride Height" system. This very much is in the ethos of "I can change the height while moving/while parked without pulling wheels off the car and mechanically doing so"
    • Just an update  ... Put the cat back on no issues with the car running wise ... maybe alittle longer to spoil up the turbo. Still running rich but waiting for my tuner to come back into town to retify the situation. WOT runs fine with the cat.
