no videos on that r14 race website, which is a bit of a bummer

lots of photos tho and it seems they have sold a few kits here and there.

tho their doing away with attessa is something strange? as it quotes some of us do this.. which isnt quiet true.

maybe they mean they are using a controller to sort it out like most of us.

i think i will go ahead with it, considering that the original strut towers are intact...

Hardly theirs is cut and shut... i prefer to swap out the whole tower as it is neater and has factory strength.

URAS,how did u fit the r33 front suspension into s-chassis ? U sued the whole r33 strut towers ? Or just weld on the braces for the upper arm ?

R33 towers, ive been toying with the idea of R32 GTR'ing the front of the 180 (panels lights etc) i have here (leave 2wd as 4wd is less fun) and slotting the spare 26 in it.

id do it purely to piss everyone skyline and 180 purist off :woot:

i orginally measured up a 300zx front clip (most hated import) but it was way to much work.... and far wider.

CATS drift car actualy uses a R32 GTS-T lower rad support and castor brakets, all that was left was to fit the towers but i CBF'd.

what about r32 towers ? Maybe a little less work involved ? Or r33 got a better double wishbone setup? heard the upper arm is different to r32s.

Also, what about the engine crossmember. 4wd one is totally different to the 2wd one. But what else needs to be done to accommodate 4wd crossmember and suspension is s-chassis ? I'm thinking with r32 strut towers and whole r32 front suspension it could be a direct swap, no ? And no need to drill or bend the chassis rails for the front drive shafts. Am I thinking correct here ?

there was 2 video of that R14 on youtube but they are not there anymore ...

they keep the attessa , they just put a elecronic controler / manual arm (second hand brake that you see in the R14 pictures) to controle the troque to the front/rear wheel ...

as for those kit bieng sold ... i dont think they are prety poppular cause . i didn't see one in canada or in the state in the past year ...

sorry for my english !!!

In the states they do this conversion to S14s, as it is hard and expensive to get compliance for a GTR.

I saw this on an IGNITION dvd ill try to find it for you, I think there is a mention of the company who do it. From what I remember it is not that difficult to do.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      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!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
