Hey

Im new to the forums. I just bought myself a R32 GTS-T RB20DET Manual.. upgraded from my SR20DE Auto Silvia. I bought a mates car and he crashed it into gutter and snapped rear subframe.

Im buying a new frame, but i need all new arms too! While im doing that might aswell go aftermarket. So i know i can get cheap camber arms from ebay for around $80 delivered. Control arms i will keep stock (aftermarket too expensive) Just wondering though. The car has ABS and Hicas. I want to remove the hicas. Is it possible to ditch the hicas all together aswell as the toerods (tierods for hicas) And would they able to be replaced with s13 silvia toe rods.

Im guessing no, as i look at it and it seems thought he tie/toe rods on r32 are longer so s13 toe rods wont fit. Like i said befor... i wanna completely remove hicas. I know a lockbar will disengage it... but can i do more? What should i do with all the lines etc there.

Pictures and comments welcome.

cheers

I don't know the S14 toe rods for sure but if they are like stagea they are totally different. what you need instead is a HICAS lock bar and keep the standard tie rods. Nice and cheap from UAS www.nismo.com.au.

Re the lines and solenoids, you can remove them there is about 20kg in all that....check our GTR_Geoff's thread for instructions and pics

just a piccy of my cradle where she is snapped and rusty :P

Shell be nice when she is replaced with aftermarket arms!

Had a look at hicas today when we got her up on car stands and it appears as if i may need a cap to fill the lines. Does anyone know what size (eg. -8)

thanks

rear cradle has alot of surface rust yeah i know. I think from sitting for a while in long grass.. well... long enough to touch under car. Its been raining here alot for past few months.

I got some camber arms off ebay. I paid $150 for them a while back for my silvia. They ran ok for 20,000km... now im sellin car. I see the same ones now for $80 delivered.

There is toe arms on there that the guy sais beware of chineese copies and crappy rosejoints.... and they are $50 brand new haha. Alot of bidders though. I wonder if they would work. I know ive heard they break alot and im not doubting u.. but ive never seen any proof myself so im still considering some cheap camber and toe arms.

Also does anyone know... i heard that s13 and r32 cradles are the same. Well s13's dont have hicas(some) so they dont have that tie rod at the back... Does that meen if i remove hicas i can get rid of that? Or should i just put a lock bar in?

Just always thinking of ways to save some dollars and some KGs

um just fit a s13 non hicas rear craddle and arms stub axles everything but keep drum handbrake setup and five stud hubs

as it all fits no probs

takes time but easy swap gets rid of hicas just gotta sort out the front setup

check for salads review on nissansilvia on how to do it

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
