Hey everyone Im in the process of gathering parts for a 5 stud conversion for my cefiro

So far I have

front s15 hubs, r32 discs and calipers

rear r32 complete set up (hubs discs calipers handbrake cables)

As far as I know s14 and r33 LCAs are the same but can I use r32 LCAs. Are the ball joints the same size and will the bolt/pin fit into the s15 hub upright?

Im not going to use the whole control arm, just going to press the ball joints into the stock ceffy arms (dont want more front track)

While Im at it I might also ask what master cylinder should I use or just keep the factory ceffy one?

Any help is appreciated cheers

no,r33 front lca only suit r32,r33,maybe r34, u can use them in the s13/a31/c33 front hubs but u need 2 drill an extra hole and that'll never b perfect thus making car stray 2 one side, if ur talking about the rear lca r32=s13/a31/c33

if your talking about the fronts just have the a31 front lca pressed into the s15 hubs?

If you have ABS, use an R32GTST ABS brake master (has 2 outlets on the brake master).

If you don't have ABS, use an R32GTST non ABS brake master (has 3 outlets).

Lines straight up with your original brake lines.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
