hey

i have a gts-t project car which is slowly getting built

i have already sorted out the rear end with gtr diff hubs shafts alloy upright etc. and removed hicas

what can i do to the front......i hear the front suspension set-up weights alot

are gtr front uprights lighter? (i have gtr gear at my disposal,lca,hub, subframe etc.)

can gtr uprights be used without front half shaft bolted through

are gtst uprights cast iron?

ANY KNOW ANY INFO, WILL HELP

or i guess i'll be trying the hard way, trial and error

thanks, josh

Did you compare the weights? In total the GTR rear end weighs more than the GTST. But what you have saved in unsprung weight is a good idea.

Yep
are gtr front uprights lighter? (i have gtr gear at my disposal,lca,hub, subframe etc.)
Nope
can gtr uprights be used without front half shaft bolted through
Yep, but that's the least of your problems, the lower control arms are different. the front subframe, the radius rods, the K frame etc etc. Simply put, the 4WD stuff doesn't fit a 2WD.
are gtst uprights cast iron?
So are GTR
ANY KNOW ANY INFO, WILL HELP
Chasing weight reduction by using GTR stuff is a waste of time, most of it weighs more. There are few exceptions such as, bonnet, front guards and rear hubs, but most mechanical stuff weighs more, lots more.
or i guess i'll be trying the hard way, trial and error
Get the scales out.
thanks, josh
My pleasure

wow.....thanks for the info

i do have the gtr bonnet and guards

and two piece rotor with alloy hats

i need the gtr rear end as the gtst probally won't cope with the power i'm expecting

is there anything else i can do? besides rims

Heaps, it all depends on where you want to stop. The rear subframe NVH weights, the exhaust system NVH dampers, the standard rear camber adjuster bolts, the complete HICAS system, the sound deadening, the spare wheel, the tool kit, the battery, the speakers, the air con, the standard seats weigh heaps, the rear wiper and washer etc etc.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
