R32 Cluster/Suspension Conversion

I have been working converting my S13 from 4 lug to 5 lug, and I'm using the bits off of an R32 Skyline GTS-T. I tried just swapping hubs and calipers but that didn't work because of the skylines independent parking brake. It seems I'll have to use the entire knuckle in order to do this conversion. In the rear, the Skyline's knuckle will swap in close to perfectly. The front is another situation though. There is a completely different knuckle system. I was thinking about just converting the front so that I could put the Skyline knuckle in but then I would have to use a Skyline suspension(not a problem, I have a full set of RSR suspension for an R32 already) but I noticed that the Silvia's have 3 bolts on the top of their suspensions while the Skylines only have 2. Does anyone know if there are any Skylines that have a suspension with 3 bolts on top so I could just easily swap that suspension in. Or if anyone has ever done this swap and has some things to add just let me know, I could use any advice. Thanks.

I see your in the US, when i get home ill look for an article that i have.

Its a US magazine that were building up an S13 SR20 powered Silvia. They put some mean Brembo F50 brake conversion on it, and they give you a part number run down on bits you require from the Nissan parts bin. From memory it was mostly S14 & 300XZ parts.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
