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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
