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

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 :P

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.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
