Hello every,

Cool site here.

Ive read through lots of stuff here, older stuff and have some questions.

I am going to buy a R32 GTST or a GTR if I have the money.

 

If I get a R32 GTST and dont do the RB25 swap, with the stuff thats out today,{turbos, etc} is there any way to make the GTST with 400-450 hp and be responsive on the street so Civic Type R's and 370's arent blowing by me?

If I get a R32 GTR, is there any way to make a good 500-600 hp and have decent torque for the street?

Yes, there we go 

 

Thank you for the inputs.

I will check these out.

 

I need to buy the car first but want to research now.  

 

RB 20's are liked in the states.   But I keep reading that RB25's are better for the 32.

Just need to upgrade hot side for GTR and ECU upgrade. Simple. Won’t get 500 but will be fun enough.

Not too hard I guess.  Do you mean to upgrade the exhaust?  As long as it will perform well.

If your in 'merica, drop a crate LS in the R32 GTST.

Or at least a RB25.

Personally, the only money I would spend on a RB20 would be to service it.

If you want fast, the RB20 is a poor starting point.

Unless you want original, then, just service it and don't race anything faster than a Toyota Yaris.

If you don't use a crate LS, send one to me, thanks....

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
