Ok so i've searched and have done some reading, just want to clear some stuff up.

I would like to beefen up the ass end of my 32 sedan mainly my driveshafts, from what i've read you can stick in a GTR centre into my R200 case then i would be able to use the driveshafts. Would the driveshafts then go into my GTST hubs/bearings or would they need swapping out also?

Are the internal diff centre splines completely different to the GTST's? The GTR halfshafts are 6x1 bolt, mine are 5x1 bolt. Are the GTR driveshafts internal spline(on the end of the bare driveshafts) completely different also?

I know it sounds like a lot of f**king around but i currently have some goodies in the back and my TEINS and KAAZ 2way are only a year old if that.

Or the other option is to get a bare GTR subframe with centre and driveshafts but then can the GTST's arms and watnot be used?

Hi mate,

I've done this mod, you will need to put the whole GTR diff, shafts and hubs onto your subframe. You will need to use GTR struts and lower arms too, as the GTS-t ones have different mounts. You will also need to put the GTS-t flange on the diff to meet up with your tail shaft.

It's a lot of frigging around but it's well worth doing, the GTR diff is so much better it's not funny.

you can still use gtst suspension. easiest way would be to unbolt the ankle/ knuckle on the gtr hub and bolt on your gtst one. but you do need to use the gtr hub as they have a different number spline.

yes you can use all gtst arms as long as you use the gtst ankle, u dont even need the gtr subframe.

the difference with the lower control arm is that the ball joint that mounts to the ankle is alot wider then the gtst one

Paul, did you swap in a 33R subframe?

I scored a free R230 (out of a z32) and hopefully some matching axles, will be interesting figuring out how to squeeze it in to the 32gtst subframe.. Should be a decent upgrade if I ever smash what's in there :huh:

Also keen to see how big these axles are, they have the same 6x1 flange as GTR's (don't have a GTR axle handy to measure but the PCD looks the same). If 32R axles bolt up then I may have to source a 32R subframe, if not then maybe z32 hubs or modify the standard ones.

Of course I didn't do it myself, I'm not going to damage my beautiful hands :D

The guys at Xspeed did it for me, from a rear cradle that Gav Beer had.

:P

When you get home (if the car is still at your place), can you have a look and report back whether the half shaft flanges are 5x1 or 6x1 and whether the tailshaft>diff connection is 4 or 6 bolts?

Cheers! :)

Dig up from the past. I have a bare S13 rear non-hicas subframe sitting on my bench at the moment. Looking at it from the rear the front passenger side mount sits approx 4mm up. There looks to be a slight kink in it where it must have taken a hit at some stage.

My question is, Will this affect the alignment settings IF i finish overhauling it and put it in the back of my 32 sedan?

I will be using adjustable arms in the back for everything also.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
