R33 GTS-T and GTR front subframe difference

Hello.  

I am using a R33 GTS-T shell to mock up a custom turbo kit for my GTR, as I'd like to keep the GTR on the road while I make the turbo kit i'm using a GTS-T R33 Shell as a template.  I'll fit a RB26 to it however what I want to know is whether the GTS-T subframe will clock (angle) and position height wise the RB26 the same as a GTR subframe.

I'm unsure where the differences in GTS-T to GTR subframes lie, I assume it's in the drivers side for the AWD component clearance. 

Cheers

My understanding is the subframe and for that matter strut area, is totally different between 2wd and 4wd so I don't think this will help you.

That's definitely the case on R32, but I'm not so sure on R33/4. The tops of the towers, upper suspension arm mounts etc are the same between 2wd and 4wd on them (obviously not between 32s and the later ones) and 32s definitely have a completely different subframe and chassis rails between the 2wd and 4wds. But I _think_ that the R33/4 subframes and rails are a lot more similar to each other. There's still an issue with the space for the driveshaft. Just don't know enough either way to be sure.

Having said all that......I think, if you were to bolt an RB26 into a GTST, using RB25 mounts, it would be very likely to end up at the same installed position relative to the car as if it was in a GTR on 26 mounts. Just my gut  feel, not even broscience.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
