Hi guys, I got 9.5" width wheels at the back for my S15, in order to pass the engineering certificate, I need to strengten the whole back end of my car with car that has standard 7.5" instead of 6.5" (on the S15) so my option is the GTR end, diff, bearing etc whatever controls the end of the rear wheels, now my question is where can I source one out? and who should I talk to get the work done?

Please don't tell me to swap the wheels to 8.5", coz I already bought the wheels and took me 1.5 months to get them :)

Thanks for the help in advance

i have a rb26/30 in my s15 and i use a complete gtr rear end, the whole thing bolts into the s15 chassis....

if you decide to use this, i think the final drive (4.11:1) will be too tall for your 6 speed as the s15 comes with 3.7:1.. this is the only thing against you... and tailshaft will be different

otherwise, the complele rear end shits all over the s15 ass end, the gtr uses a mechanical lsd, it has alloy stub axles, and thicker drive shafts...

good piece of gear compared to the s series chassis cars...

and you will never break it

This post will be no help to you whatsoever but can I just confirm what I see here? An engineer wants you to strengthen your rear end because you have wider wheels than standard? What a f**king joke. Are you going to be driving around on Mickey Thompsons all day every day? And you can bet this guy takes himself totally seriously too.

Ok here's something semi useful. I have an R32 GTR rear end in my R34 GTT and it's a great piece of gear. Paid $700 for the whole kit and kaboodle and it's tough as nails. Really tough nails that is.

I know I know. I just hate people who blindly follow rules without question.

Think for yourself

Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,

terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in

this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the

religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by

giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their

view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and

learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;

chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself.

Question authority.

nah, only r32

ummm in my experience R34 is easier than R32.....

S13-R32 str8 swap

S15-R33/R34 st8 swap

combining the two ie R32 into s15 streches the bushes and usually ends in a skewing cradle (crabbing car) after awhile. We run R34 GTR in the S13.

and fitting the GT-r cradle wont fix your over tracked rear end..... as i assume they are worried about the track change more than anything. If you truly are being hassled for axle loading then yes it may be easier to get through with a GTR rear due to the higher factory load rating.

remmebr though you will also need new rear coil over bases as the lower mount is fork not eye.

Hi peeps, I am in a similar situation, I have an S15 that I am currently doing an RB26DETT swap in and at the same time I am looking at swapping the GTR 32 rear end in as I got everything as a package. I want to know if I were to unbolt the entire Differential, axles, and brake setup minus the spindle from the R32 GTR rear sub-chassis would it bolt directly onto the S15 rear sub-chassis. I will be using the S15 spindle of course and using all my S15 arms and whatnot. Can someone that has done this let me know, I have the entire R32 rear end but I have already bought my S15 Cusco coilovers and don't wanna have to use a combination setup.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
