hey All,

Who can tell me if R32 front struts will fit in a series 1 bluebird TRX, I know that S13 struts are too fat to fit. And also will the front hubs bolt on so it can have r32 rotors and four piston calipers? Oh also I have some NSW numberplates I want to get rid of. I've had them for the last two years: R33GTR so if any one is interested or knows anyone let'em know. 0421 67 0022 Cheers

R32's do not have struts as such, but have multi-link suspension. Your bluebird has macpherson struts as do S13's. The 2 types are totally different designs with no interchangeable suspension parts. Your best bet would be to try to get hold of some import HR31 turbo struts which might do the job, but I suspect they are v similar to the S13 type.

So you're saying that R32's have upper and lower control arms at the front, what sort of spring/shock set-up? they more like coilovers? do you know what sort of suspension cefiro's have?

Yes, upper and lower control arms, with separate shock absorbers and springs (coilovers, if you like - personally I would argue that macpherson struts are 'coil over', but anyway......)

I don't know much about cef's, but I'd guess they have similar suspension to HR31 Skylines - meggala would be the best to ask.

Have you tried using S13 coil overs?? Im pretty sure you'll find that they'll fit....

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
