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.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
