hey all..

busted my r32 a while back, having no luck finding an r32 lhf steering knuckle.. have found a pair of r33 ones though, with lower control arms, calipers, discs, so basically r33 front suspension. i will be using r33 lca's no matter what knuckle i find.

will this fit the old r32? are the the same or different?? if different how so and what effect will it have??

"They run a diff upper arm, I have no idea if the metal upright comes off the cast hub and swaps tho"

I sat the two next to each other last week and they were very, very similar. Can't really guarantee they will fit though sorry.

Here are a few pics of r33 knuckles (the shorter ones have been modded) to maybe help.

this is the only pic i have at the moment of my steering knuckle... you can see where its busted near where it mounts to the upright.. it has a nut under that top cover and it looks bloody similar to the r33 ones.. even though the top arm is different.

ive found a pair of modified ones like the ones in that picture and for the same price as 1 x r32 knuckle from a wrecker. and im having trouble finding one on here as a) everyone wants to keep their wrecks rolling and b) noone wants to post them as they are reasonably heavy with the hubs in them.

cheers for the help

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
