BNR32 and HCR32 chassis bracing

[pitchd]

hey guys,

im looking into some additional bracing in my car hcr32 4 door atm...

right now i have - 7 point full cusco cage, do-luck rear floor brace, enginebay strut tower to firewall bracing, front and rear strut braces and a cusco tension boot brace

now im looking at some

Jspeed under fender braces - remove your front guards and these bolt between your door hinge and half way down the front chassis structure under the guard

Cusco tension brace - mounts to front castor rod links

Cusco Rear pillar bars

My question is... these parts are all labelled for the bnr32 GTR... will they fit a GTST r32? are the chassis layouts the same? ie. are castor rods the same distance apart, are the under fender structures the same? Also keep in mind i have an R32 4 door GTST... all of those should fit... apart from the rear pillar bars? or would they? 4 door and 2 door rear pillars same layout?

holy sh1t that is getting very serious....do you have a problem with chasis stiffness atm? If you are having a concern normally the best way (by far) is to put in a full cage, but I guess you need this as a road car?

Apparently expanding foam inside the sills and chasis rails has been tested to give an almost 50% increase in stiffness

Duncan - take a read of my first paragraph... i alredy have a full cage and the car isnt seeing the street

im just taking the advantage of additional chassis rigidity

rofl sorry I suck for reading atm.....

no worries...

question is... can anyone tell me if the gtst and gtr 32 chassis' are the same? and if there are any differences? and answers bout the rear pillar brace in my original post

I was looking at a BNR32 chassis today. They appear to be different in a couple of places. The first being next to the trans tunnel on the drivers side for clearance of the transfer case of the gearbox.

The second (which may affect you) is the two rails in the engine bay that go to the front of the car. They have large cutout bumps about halfway for clearance of drive axles for the 4wd.

Its definitly not possible to convert a gtst to a 4wd, without a lot of work. Id even say that the suspension setup would be different....so it may look like you cannot swap gtr to gtst stuff in that way....sorry.

Someone else may correct me on some of these though, as i havent worked on a GTR. Only just what ive seen.
