2wd and 4wd front ends are totally different (strut vs wishbone)

Ah, that's not quite true. On all the R chassis cars the suspension design is exactly the same between RWD and AWD cars. Double wishbone (for a flexible enough definition of wishbone). Same upper arms. Same-ish lower arms and uprights. But the lower arms are different between AWD and RWD cars and the uprights are different. As far as I know, it is not feasible to put AWD knuckles onto a RWD front end. I might be wrong about that - but the AWD knuckles are obviously very different, because they have the whole axle thing going on.

I do not know if R33 RWD front knuckles will fit onto R32, but there is a very good chance that they will. Worth going to a wreckers and putting them side by side.

I was thinking similar to Duncan. Probably best to find a way to fit a sheetmetal code ring somewhere and custom a bracket to hold a sensor.

I was just schmoozing through the GK-Tech catalogue and see that their fabricated R chassis front knuckles come in specific R32 and R33/4 versions. I don't know exactly what the difference is - but it would suggest that stock R33 probably won't just fall onto an R32. You'll either not win at all, or have to swap a number of other things.

Z32 are definitely compatible with R32. I take it that they have the ABS rings & shiz that you need?

Yeah man abs and sensors and all doing the swap now good buy for 100 for the set

      I run 2 x 525 pumps on factory 8mm fuel lines     ... zero issues, staged of course    Your setup should work fine, all you need to do is find the restriction. A good aftermarket fuel regulator is always a good idea too. If it's not your regulator i'd be suspicious of your fuel tank breather and your tank pressurising. Next would be something with the fuel hat. Then blow out the fuel lines.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars- 180sx and S15

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Update time...... Been a crazy busy time and a bit of a change here. Sold my 370z Nismo as wasn't using it much and wanting a 86/brz so wife can have some fun at the track again also to help with funding the s15 build.  As said last time booked a cruise to NZ. The place is great, drank lots of craft beer, eat food and visited some amazing places   The plains of rohan Before we left I finally got an electrician booked and the shed now has power. Been so good being able to use it at night and not running things off a 20m extension lead. Got stuck in last weekend and reorganised it and cleaned up a lot of stuff. A few more things to tidy over time but really good to work on now. There's 13x 10a GPO, 3x 15a GPO, 4 high bay lights and 5 LED batons so will never have an issue seeing or powering tools. 437344198_7178721088892834_15829362501196293_n.mp4   Work has restarted on the s15. Removed the rear cradle so could pull the fuel tank and finish emptying the stale e85 thats now been sitting for almost 4 years 🤮 Cleaned it out and let it dry. Removed the old lift pump and have reinstalled a new lower pressure pierburg pump with all new hose and lowered the pump to get it nice and low in the sump of the tank. Also got a an old diff cover cleaned up, work has a soda blaster so made quick work of it. Going to put a 4.11 ratio diff in with a fresh rebuild thats been reshimmed for now before buying a good diff centre. And had a big change with going back to full time work. Opportunity came up to apply for a race mechanic job so applied and got it, been some big days so far but definitely enjoying it and getting to work on some cool stuff and with some great equipment. Learning a lot on proper car setup and suspension so will be valuable for the s15. I'll be part of the travelling team form next round too. This weekend will get the fuel tank and system in, need to buy a rollover valve and mount that. Get cradle in with the diff and axles then make a shopping list to buy to finish that off then start looking at cooling setup and plan intercooler pipe routing. Work will definitely be slow now on the car but will be to a higher standard.  The 180sx hasn't sold so may be heading out to Morgan Park labour day weekend for a charity event to have some fun been almost 6 months since I've driven it so will be take time to get comfortable again.

      It has a separate fused 10ga wire running from the battery to the relay in the trunk. 10ga on the ground also.

      Actually I did the fuel pump rewire 2 days after the issues started. Grinded away the paint and grounded it to the chassis behind the right panel in the trunk.
