Hows it going everyone! I have joined here because I am the new owner of a 1994 R32 GTR Skyline here in the U.S. We don't have much if any support over here for Skylines anymore, so I have been gathering all my info and knowledge mainly from these forums, great use so far!

My main question right now is, how strong are these front and rear c.v axles? I have pulled the motor the other night, and I will be doing a full rebuild built for lot's of boost, are axles breaking a problem for GTR's? I'm looking for 700hp on 110 octane.

Here is a little shot of lasts nights work,

The whole drivetrain is pretty bloody good from the factory - only the most serious drag cars break anything except gearboxes.

But to be honest a genuine 700hp would put you in the "serious drag car" category so no guarantees

At the motor or at the wheels?

Well all the bushings are completely fubarred, the rear end clunks like no other lol. The engine had a severely blown headgasket. Was missing like 4 lower tranny bolts. Loose bolts and crappy just backyard style stuff done everywhere. Clutch slave wasn't bled. The body is flawlessly smooth though thumbsup.gif and paints decent.

I'm not too worried about it though, I will be putting my hands on pretty much every inch of this car. I really wanna use the r32 diffs with the v161 so I'm gunna flush all fluids and cross fingers, I have R34 diffs as spares.

I already have Energy Suspension Poly Euro Bushings to go all around the car. I have the V161 already too. Today I just ordered 87mm CP pistons and Manley connecting rods. Cosworth main/rod bearings with .001 extra clearance. ARP headstuds. I don't have main studs yet but will soon. I have a cometic gasket kit. I also ordered my PT6766h turbo today!banana.gif I'll be ordering cams and valve springs soon. I'm going to need a new water pump, and I'll also be using the Reimax oil pump, Greddy pan extension, 2-3qt Accusump system, and a bunch of other stuff. Once I get a few more things acquired I will be starting a build thread.

OK so here is a little teaser of what is going down before I start my build thread. ALL these parts are IN HAND ready to go.

UPDATE!! Hey guys, no pics yet but only because the car isn't 100 percent done but it's somewhat close!

HERE IS MY ISSUE! Please drag racers chime in...

How many drag guys are exploding rear diffs? My fabricator wants me to do a Ford 8.8 IRS setup in my Skyline because I am trying to HOOK all 1000whp on slicks. He doesn't think the rear diff will hold up. So far I have DSS 1000hp axles, and an OS giken LSD back there...

I don't want to waste the money I spent on the DSS axles...but I also don't want to be replacing rear diffs all the time.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
