a car i bought(r32 gts) had a nismo front control link set

my question is can i use the castor rod and upper control arm on my r32gtr

its a production car so i cant use adjustable shit and i assume the nismo shit is far better than stock 20 year old shit i currently have

cheers in advance

Fatz if it helps I can dig out the dimensions for the GTR stuff. From memory the Nismo GTR castor rod is basically as per stock just a few (4 or 5) mm shorter and a stiffer rubber.

As for the upper arm not sure it is any different in the steel to a sotcker - just harder bushes.

Pretty sure the upper arm is offset with a little more twist to allow for the increased castor, helps keep the bushes from flogging out.

From vague memory Nismo LCA for 32 GTR is longer than stock for increased camber and castor rod a bit shorter, but unsure if gts and GTR castor arms are interchangeable.

LCA's aren't the same (GTR's use 2 ball joints and an alloy arm), but 33 GTR LCA is the go as they're about 5mm longer than 32 GTR (like the Nismo ones) so you can also get increased camber this way (keeping the nismo uppers).

I've not done any of this myself, just random info that I recall from browsing, hope it helps your search.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
