Hi guys,

I have read and heard peoples various tales about the fittment of an R32 GTR front bar to a R32 GTST. I was wondering if someone can confirm or deny the possibility. My gut feel is it wont fit (without modifications) due to the GTR having wider guards.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Oh....off the topic, just thought I'd say that I finished my RB30DET conversion in my R32 GTST last weekend. It is a built motor with the same GT35R I had on the old RB25. Trying to organise a time with my cousin (Phil Laird) to get it tuned. Will let you know how it goes!

Thanks again

Ben

GTR front bar will only fit with the GTR guards.

you'll have to get a copy designed for the gtst guards.

or butcher the GTR one.

Bullshit. Leave now.

Yes a GTR bar will fit a Gtst. I've done it twice, to two of my own R32 gtst's.

Car 1, using GTR bonnet, bonnet latch, grille, bar reo and genuine bar.

Car 2, only using genuine bar.

yo mate seen in ur sig u do looms.. how much for a SR>RB25 loom done. i need a regular place to do my looms. feel like doin reoccuring business.

Markimak,

Depends on the car but if you are talking an RB25 (series 1 or 2) conversion in an S13 or 14 silvia or 180 then will be about $350 for the loom and if you wish to retain the S13,14 or 180 tacho you will need a digital corrector which I buy from Jaycar for about $50 or $60 (from memory). I bought one sometime ago and played around with it in my R32.

Where abouts on the southside are you? I'm at springwood.

Cheers

"ahah wananbe gtr???"

nice contribution to the thread.

imho gtr bars suit the 32 best. all other aftermarket ones look bulky or dont suit the soft box like lines the 32 has.

The neo motors have a different tacho digital output. From memory it has a higher voltage and different pulse width to the RB and SR motors at any given rpm. Voltage we can correct for and you should be able to use the digital corrector but would need to look into this. Where there is a will there is always a way.

There are a few other differences from memory. From the little research I have done I know there is a number of additional load inputs the ECU looks for eg. Headlight activation etc. I would imagine this information is used in the idle control logic. If you want retain complete factory functionality you will probably need to provide these inputs although this would not be completely necessary for operation of the motor.

I'll have to have another look at the info I have on these motors and get back to you. I have another loom to do for someone else next week and I will likely be doing an SR20 conversion in my sisters old '84 bluebird as well so I am fairly well booked out for the next month.

If you are local I would be happy to catch up and discuss.

Cheers,

Ben

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
