hey im just wondering what are the body differences between a r32 gtst and a 32 gtr? i realise the gtst doesnt have floorpan to suit 4wd transfer case and gtr has aluminium bonnet? i even think gtr has aluminium gaurds?

im thinking if i was to get a gtr and put in a rb26 with a 2wd sump and a rb25det gearbox and remove the hicas would it be the same weight as a gtst model with the same setup (rb26 and rb25 box)? i know it sounds like a stupid idea but i have a 26 engine in a different chassis at the moment and i want to build a track/drift car and want the option of making it 2wd and very very light for drift and put a gtr box/front driveshaft/sump in for track work when i need traction.

i would also assume the front control arms etc are different? i just think starting with a gtr with better brakes, wider gaurds, etc would be better value considering i need a 26 to put into my other chassis to sell it off.

sorry for the dribbling post i just wanted to make people aware why i asked the question :)

cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
