R32 Gtst With Gtr Gearbox Convertor To Rwd

[charlie murphy]

So i have converted a r33 gtr gearbox to rwd in my r32gtst and i need to know what configuration works best with tailshaft and whether i go 1 or 2 piece ?

or can i use the standard rear half of r32 gtst tailshaft and use the front half of gtr tailshaft as 1 ?

Can the tailshaft be solid eg as it is going to be a flange on both sides as oppose to yoke on 1 side that allow movement

Whatever you do is going to be a custom bitsa. The GTSt has a universal joint flange on the pinion of the diff, the GTR has a CV type flange. So if you go two piece, you'll need to use the back half of the GTSt tailshaft. I don't know for sure whether the centre bearing is in exactly the same place on both GTSt and GTR. Assuming it is, then it may be possible to just connect the front half of a GTR tailshaft to the back half of the GTSt one. If there's any differences, then you'll need to get a custom front half made up with whatever length and joints are needed.

If you go one piece, then it will be GTR connection at the front and GTSt at the rear. But there's no room for length errors in this case.

It's more than likely that you'll have the easiest result by staying 2 piece.

Indeed , Do you know if the gtst4 have the drive train layout as the gtst ? as if they do then i should be able to use the gtr or gtst4 complete tailshaft and diff and drive shaft.

i need to buy a 2 way diff any way so if they are they same then ill just run a gtr 2way/ drive shafts and tail shaft

As far as I know, the GTS4 has the same rear end as the GTSt, and the GTR is different.
