Will A S13 Front Under Brace Fit A R32 Gtst?

[freyb]

will a s13 front under brace fit a r32 gtst?

my mate is selling me one from his s13 so im curious if it will fit my gtst non attesa (rwd only)

Front suspension towers are not the same.

From the look of it, it is the brace that joins the castor arms so that shouldn't be an issue. Search the cusco braces and see if they list the same one for both cars, for a more definite answer.

yep the one that joins the castor arms

sample pic from ultra racing. but its bolted to a r32 with attesa i think..

Oops. Didn't read properly. Strut brace is a no go, but the underbrace is the same.

thanks for the info! installing this will increase understeer or oversteer?

[hardsteppa]

Neither lol, will be sweet f.a ... But seriously, on mine it made it "slightly" more precise steering, probably more just keeping going where u point it, on the oversteer side i guess u'd say. Prob notice more on track, which i've not tried.

[freyb]

aiiiight! thanks for the info! will install soon and see the difference.

Can u post back your findings once installed? Im interested in your feedback.

I'm with hardsteppa. Likely amount of improvement is tiny. You are talking about bracing together two points that don't move a lot relative to each other in the direction that the brace actually works (which is along its length). The front mounting points of the caster arms may indeed move up and down or perhaps even stretch fore-aft a little bit with suspension loads, but these braces are not capable of stopping movement in those directions. Such a brace would have to be triangulated to some other location (like the rad support panel, or even better the front crossmember) in order to really do anything. And even then, it would be questionable if the driver could/would notice anything.

Yep not much of a difference, but then again, doesn't hurt either...and really, every littld bit helps...IMO a mod doesn't slways need to be a 'big' difference to be worthwhile. If yr getting it cheap, chuck it on there.

Nismo found it useful enough to make a brace for the s13

For me it made my understeer all but disappear in low speed corners. But this is a track car, so, I try a little harder than driving on the road...
