R32 Gts4 Cv Shaft Length

Hi,

I have bought a set of CV shafts for an R32 GTR to fit in the GTS4. After a few mix ups, i managed to get a drivers side and passenger side rebooted and greased.

Drivers side went in easy and then i started on the passenger side.

Installed it ok, put everything together and took it for a test drive.... while i was working on the front end i decided to replace the tie rod ends on the steering amongst other bushes.I knew that everything would be a little misaligned so i took it easy. At around 40km/hr i started to get a big vibration and clicking noise from the front. I turned around with the thought, wow, have to get everything aligned.

Since then i have thrown the old CV away, after briefly lining it up side by side with the replacement and roughly looking at it thinking, she'll be right.

Now, i have been told the shafts are for an R32, but when i measured the passenger (upright, gearbox side on the floor and shafts pushed right in) the length was 593mm. I have since been told they are meant to be 574mm long (had a bloke in a CV shop with some genuine ones measure it)

Does anyone know the exact length of the R32 GTR passenger side shaft? I thought google was my friend but we seem to be on the wrong page...

OR can anyone let me know what CV shaft i have?

TL;DR - CV shaft too long...

Cheers Duncan,

Will put the CV back in and see if it is something else.

Just thinking about it, i might try extending the steering, toe and camber arms (everything is currently adjustable) by winding out a few threads. Keep that as the base and work from there...

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
