Hey guys iv got a r32 4 door.... and iv been looking around for various parts.... at the moment im looking into front and rear strut braces....

now iv seen a few for sale and different people say different things .... apparently the gtst 2 door is different to the gtr and the gtst 4 door.

can anyone shed some light on the truth and what actually is different....

and also the key differences i should know about between the 2 door and 4 door (other then the obvious number of doors/seats)

All R32 front strut towers are the same. So as long as it clears the engine, a strut brace will fit all models. Some R32GTR front strut braces don't clear the higher plenum on the RB20DE/DET in R32GT. R32GTS4 and R32GTST. A front strut brace is a must have for improving handling, as the front upper control arms are mounted to the strut towers.

I don't know about the rear strut brace as far as 2 door versus 4 door, but all models of 2 door are the same and all model of 4 door are the same as far as the inner guards and strut towers are concerned. I wouldn't stress too much over not having a rear strut brace, they don't do a lot as the rear upper control arms and traction rods are mounted to the subframe not the body, so bracing the body does pretty much nothing.

Sydneykid has hit the nail on the head.

The other things that differ between sedans and coupes is the tail lights and boot. The lights are a different shape and the boot caters to suit.

Apart from the obvious rear quarter panels and doors, everything else is interchangeable.

Many of us (me included) have GT-R goodies on our sedans, such as front end and full interior.

not to dig up an old thread, so a front strut + under car sway bars... unsure of best option? For my r33 sedan will be enough, im really just trying to get a bit of extra stability in higher speed slides

Sway bars minimise the amount of body roll and strut braces minimise the amount of tower flex.

For handling, a sway bar is a better option than the tower brace, but in saying that, both used in conjunction is a nicer thought.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
