We have been playing with this mod in a R32 for some time (months) without success while we have been trying to understand the problem.

With a R32 the GTR drive shaft is different to a GTS-T and GTS and has a oil seal pressed into the upright where the GTS-T and GTS simply run a thing that looks like two disks in the same place as where the oil seal fits into the upright.

We are now heading down the path of having the GTR upright machined to replicate the GTS-T one and hope that solves the issue.

To answer the question accuratly. Yes.

Each and every art of both the rear ends is different, but most parts are compatible.

The shafts, uprights and hubs are different.

You use GTR uprights, and use your stock gtst hubs and axles, as the axles suit whatever hub you use.

The lower control arm is the same, but you need this little spacer thing, and this may be hard to find, its usually easier to buy a pair of GTR lower control arms.

The alloy hub has a bigger ball joint hole, so you NEED this spacer bit.

Obviously you need GTR coilovers.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
