i know this is an old thread but i have an r32 gt-r diff, axles, hubs etc in an r33 gts-t cradle, all transfered easy peasy

unbolt the tail shaft yoke and swap over, and use r33 upper control arms to clear the struts

i will fit the gt-r cradle soon for more track but i'm still painting it and welding washers in the bushes...hehe dodgy

Niz, a bit more info would be useful.

Did you need to use the axles and hubs?

Since the track for the GTR32 is wider did the axles have enough space in the spline for easy fitment to the 33GTS subframe?

Which upper control arms? GTR33 or GTS?

What car is it in? R31 or R33?

:(

Yeah I'm dropping my old diff centre off to Preston Auto's and diffs today for some thoughts on what can be beefed up. Pity I don't have a viscous, as both are helical (I bought a centre last week) to drop in as well. These guys seem pretty good and will pass the centre around some of their contacts for some feedback. Given the price of whats out there there may be some market for upgrades.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
