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

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
