Ok guys I need help. I've got a r32 gts t making some serious hp. Nothing has broken so far touch wood in the are end department (wheel spin is my friend) but I want toupgrade and fix the problem before something does break, ie at power cruise. I have a crashed r33 I was wondering will that whole rear cradle bolt into the back of a 32 or wat can I change to upgrade this using both cradles. I doubt want suggestions of going to a full 9" conversion I want to utilize the materials I have available to me . Any feedback would be appreciated

Cheers

I'm not sure if I understand what you want to achieve. The R33 rear cradle is only slightly better than the R32 one. It's not the cradle so much that is better, it is the suspension arms that are slightly better. But many many R33 cradles sit off to one side of the centreline of the car. I'd want to know that any R33 cradle I was aiming to retro into an R32 was not going to bring that problem with it.

I tore out the HICAS cradle in my R32 and replaced it with a non-HICAS one from a Cefiro. That fixes one big problem with Skyline rear ends. I replaced the VLSD with a helical centre. That fixed another. The R200 diffs are pretty strong. You have to be making massive power to do too much damage to them, and there are plenty of aftermarket centres avaialble with any amount of lockedness anyway.

Ok I prob didn't explain it real well my bad.

Instead of pulling my actual cradle out all together is there anything from the 33 rear end which I can put across into the 32 to toughen it up

I've thought of going the gtr option as I know they ar a lot stronger but was trying to use wat I had available first

Im pushing 800 at the rears so power isn't a problem. My mate said he has only had dramas with the half shafts not being up to the task in his 32

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
