Hey, I'm looking for someone with an R32 GTS-T that might be able to help me with some questions. I have a set of front knuckles and hubs off of a 4-door R32 Skyline GTS-T. I have the suspension for to fit it but I can't figure out where the suspension hooks up to. I think I'm probably missing a the upper links. I'm just not sure exactly what the GTS-T set-up looks like. If anyone can help me out with pics or something that'd be cool. If you can help me out with any of this, let me know. Thanks.

Hey, I went all over that site and couldn't find anything that gave me enough info. Found pictures of the actual suspension but not of the upper links, lower links...the knuckles...etc. do you have a gts-t? i was hoping to find someone with a gts-t who could take a picture for me or something. well, let me know. Thanks.

Hi Zushi this is the pricture of the front suspension on an R33 GTST from the Whiteline site. The only difference between it and R32 front suspension is the upper control arm. On the R33 it is a wishbone..

R33 GTST front suspension

The upper control arm on a R32 looks like this instead of a wishbone, This is an adjustable one, the standard item does not have the bolts and the slots, it is fixed in length.

Hope that helps some more

hey, thanks for the help. i can't really tell exactly what im missing though. the only pieces i have are the knuckles, hubs, and of course calipers. what im trying to do is convert my s13 silvia from 4 lug to 5 lug using the pieces i got off of a 4 door r32 skyline gts-t. the rear knuckles were a straight swap and pretty easy. the front though i need more pieces. just trying to figure out which pieces im missing. i know i need the upper link pieces that go from the knuckle to the suspension....right? will i need a lower link? if you can help me out with the info i need on this swap thatd be awesome. well, get back to me. Thanks.

Hi Zushi, why didn't you ask this in the first place?

An S13 has Machpherson struts, it is not double wishbone like a Skyline. (ie; they have no top arm). The shock absorber is the top arm on an S13.

To fit Skyline front brakes and hubs you remove the disc and rotor and the hub and fit it to the S13 strut. There is probably some trick with the wheels bearings. You don't use the Skyline upright at all.

If you need more info than that I suggest you try the Silvia forums they have more experience with what you are doing than a Skyline forum.

Hope you succeed.

No Zushi, all you use from the Skyline is the brake callipers, brake discs and hubs. All the rest of the Skyline bits won't fit a Silvia. You need the Silvia struts and lower control arm. There is no upper arm on Silvias.

The Silvia forum guys will have photos of Silvias with Skyline hubs, discs and callipers. Ask them.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
