Hi everybody! :action-smiley-069: I am not here in the forums very often, and I have a hard time finding the answer to my question, but might I ask it here?

What engine parts are specific and designated ONLY to an RHD R32?

I am currently listing parts for an R32 GT-R project, and I just want to know if the parts I listed are compatible with an LHD R32.

Some of you might be shocked to why I have to say "LHD"; but to clear things up, my country doesn't allow RHD cars to be driven on public roads. Philippines is strict with LHD cars only.

Please help me, I am so deep in the list already, I even chose parts off plenty other options. And I want to know if it's still worth listing down parts. The parts I'm asking about include anything in the engine; maybe manifolds, downpipes, exhausts, radiators, anything!

Please help me take note of them. I am looking over parts from JDM aftermarket manufacturers including TOMEI, HKS, and many others.

I hope for meaty replies :yes: Thanks in advance! :rolleyes:

P.S I attached the list I've ever so worked hard on, hopefully you can tell me which parts are only for RHD :rofl2:

They never build a LHD r32 so there won't be any parts "made to fit LHD", but most Japanese parts should still fit.

your main concern is going to be the exhaust dump pipe and front pipe will probably have to custom made

Sooo the only concerns are the exhaust dump pipe and front pipe in the engine bay? Nothing else? :woot: Nothing to do with the HICAS getting disabled or anything? Nothing else to replace or alter?

As has been posted, there was no LHD R32 so everything will have to be sourced or invented.

A massive undertaking which could look great or not……...

To give you some idea, here's a 32.

And a 33.

There's also a UK company specialising in 33 conversions, end product is excellent.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
