O/K I see. That setup would require a realitively high pressure strut to work at such a tight angle, unless the bonnet fibreglas or simmilar. I took the measurements for mine off a Camry (distance from pivot points etc)

So has anybody had a stab at a 32? im curious as i had a professional strut guy have a look at my GTR and he reckons that there isnt enough room in there for struts to fit. Tein dont sell struts for 32s. (not that ive found anyways.) Nengun only sell Teins for 33's.

Kezza, long time mate. if you get a chance to have a crack at this, can you let me know pls? i wont be getting my car back from getting the rebuild for another month.

wogboy, you're actually very right sayingn that about the angles. The tein kits are pumped up mega strong.

Arep - strut guys don't know shit (beleive it or not). When I first went onto this quest, I asked a couple of them. This one guy was an absolute wanker bogan, and was really rough, and goes oh, what we'll do, is i'll make up some brackets, come down and try it on the car, then i'll adjust the brackets, come back again, i'll finalise them, then... I was like f**k off (i lived about 75 minutes away - I'm north he's south). Any reasonable fabricator would do it on the spot.

Some other dumbass was saying nah, you only need 1 strut. He was planning on putting the strut going from the strut tower, to the front of the bonnet! the point of these is to make more room, not to make some spastic sort of contraption.

Or why don't you ask rice extreme customs to make a set for you, or do they sell em?

tein do make r32 gtr kits. that is your bestoption

yea true. this strut bloke was pretty dodge. he said it wasnt worth it cos they wont fit. there will be no room for the bonnet to close.

i do like how wogboy has his setup though. back where they are has them out of the way and no damn bonnet bar in the way when workin on the front. plus they look stock as. ill hafta look into the more when i get my car back from the rebuild. Cheers

Any progress?

only skimmed over page 2 but has anyone suggested the mounting point off a VR-VS dunny door for the ball on the gurad, they have a right angle mount with the ball hanging off that and the mount could be attached via the 1/4 panel bolt.

i am thinking of just getting some strong right angle metal and laying it over the side of the bonnet so i can attach the bonnet ball to the instead of directly to the metal.

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
