Haven't done much with, or driven, the R33 lately as I have been busy working on another car, Project X...no wait, Operation White Thunder...yes that's better. Couple of weeks back though, taking the 33 out of the driveway (it's not steep, fairly shallow and mostly flat) when I hear a crack turning left. Then found the car was jammed, not reversing or forward-ing..looked and found front passenger wheel sitting on an angle I would describe as, not right at all. Turns out it was a broken toe-arm mount on the knuckle. Fk knows how it broke, as I hadn't hit anything, but I'm guessing might have been too much caster, being lowered, using roll centre balljoint and tie-rod joint, that might have been causing binding and stress over time. It was a hell-mission to get it back into the driveway and into the garage though I can say. Any other thoughts on why this would break are welcome, cos it's a pretty thick heavy duty bit of cast-ness, not something to just snap on a whim. The welding is from me trying to do a temp fix on it, but that lasted about 3 metres, broke at first turn. Couldn't find a 2nd knuckle, so bought the GK Tech knuckle set. First thing, they are LIGHT. Weighed in at 3.7kg, vs nearly 6kg for an OEM knuckle. Some pics I've fitted the passenger-side knuckle already; fits just fine for the most part. A few things. They drop the car by 20mm, which GKTech say clearly on their website. My Blitz coilovers don't have much lengthen adjustment, so couldn't raise the car, so have dragged an old set of BC's out to get it back to the correct ride height for me, as they have alot more height adjustment. More on that to follow. The tie-rod mount is much further out, so you MUST use a longer tie rod, which GKTech also clearly note. More on that to follow. They have wayyy more angle, so much so that I can't turn the wheel much without the rim grinding and sticking on the sway bar ...sorry GTSBoy 😛 anti-roll bar. I have another set of rims with 3mm more offset so will put them on but it'll still contact I feel. Rims are a 17x9 27mm offset with 255/40/17 tyres. If you use a bigger brake kit (I use the ATTKD front brakes) the mounting bracket won't fit. I had to cut out a section for the bracket to sit flush on the brake caliper mount. As per these> Don't think it will matter as there' still tons of reinforcement but, not just bolt-on if you have bigger brakus. -
gearboxconversion Rb25det z33 conversion
Nistico posted a topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Iv recently just done the rb25det conversion in my r32 four door and now for something different im about to do a z33 cd009 6sp converion in it. I have access to one with an rb bell housing already welded on and gk tech already do a cross member for silvia and a full shifter kit, I havent been able to find anything on doing it in an r32 specificly though but i did see a write up on one done in an s13 with an rb25 saying it was a tight fit but doable and from what i understood the tunnels were very similar to r32, firstly i like to know if anyone on here has done it in their 32 or any skyline for that matter and what issues they had? And for those that have done it what diff ratios are you using or tried but didnt like? The car is registerd but not a daily, gets used for drift days and hill climbs. Also im aware z33 doesnt have a speed sensor that doesnt bother me, just want to know the best tricks to make it work right Thanks for any info. -
The bushes on my Noltec FUCAs are looking pretty mangled. I'm thinking that if the GKtech (currently $296) are superior, perhaps I should get a set rather than replace the Noltec bushes with a set from whiteline (~$160). Thoughts? Are the Noltecs worth keeping?

GKtech Hicas Delete Hi i want to install the GKteck Hicas delete in my R34 however it does not come in a kit and I need to find my own polyurethane bushes to replace the Hicas ball joint that fits in the rear knuckle. Does anyone know where I can get the bushes required? I only want two not an entire kit. i have already tried GKtech they did not know, Whiteline and Redranger. you can see the bush (orange) in photo attached.

GKTECH V3 KNUCKLES G'day lads. At the moment I'm putting together an R32 street/tdori machine and am up to the knuckle part. Let me say I'm a fan of GKTech and the quality/price balance they work with, but on top of that the options for the R chassis are slim, so these seems like the top pick. I already have Silk Road camber arms set at 35mm shorter than stock, will be running R33 LCA's with a customised flat adjustable lock stop, Strongflex poly bushes and have extended tie rods and non-offset spacers to go in. Will be moving the rack forward 25mm as well. Currently rolling on +30 R33 GTR wheels but will be going to something in the +15 to +20 range soon. So, the question is - are they worth the extra cost? Obviously they're an upgrade compared to a modded stock knuckle. The unsprung weight advantage sounds great as well as the claimed linear feel, but considering I should be saving for Japan later this year they're hard to justify at something like twice the price of getting some modded locally. Can anyone comment on the driving feel?
