ANYONE?

I may be able to supply the rear suspension parts if my mate picks up a GTST at auction tomorrow which we will strip.

I may also be able to provide a slightly damaged front passenger fender if the company thats going to fix my car replaces it.

Thanks Alex, your a champ. I received the lights today aswell - thanks again :P

Ive already got the upper and lower control arm and a toe control arm from a GTST.

The lower control is the same but the upper control arm and toe control arm appears to be different.

Wondering if you might be able to clarify this for me at all?

SK told me that I may require a toe control arm from a non-hicas GTST? :D

I may also have the front gaurd lined up already - will let you know. :laugh:

mate if it was the upper control arm i could have helped you, i just had mine replaced with adjustables.

No probs mate. thnx anyway.

I didnt have any troubles with the upper and 2 lower arms, as they are the same as the R33 GTST.

Having trouble finding the toe arm though. Not sure if it is the same as any skylines either??? no one seems to know... :D

Thought about going through Nissan but the dealers are useless where I live.

They didnt even know skylines existed after 88!!

:D

Toe Control Arms

Toe Control Arms

Thanks for that. Ive contacted them and am now awaiting a reply.

I also found them through Gold coast Nissan.

Brand new nissan part (1 only) - $245 :D

This will be my last resort...

Just a thought, radiator support same as R34? only because headlights bolt in after they convert the front ends.

No there not

I will be removing at least the top panel, if not the whole radiator support panel when I do the conversion and fitting a R34 panel

Yours is a series 2 isnt it? Is it the same as the series 1?

How long before you'll have thje rad support out?

I would think the S1 and S2 would be different, as the head lights are, so the mounting points will not line up

At this stage, I am not sure if I can just change the top part of the support. The masa kit photo only shows the top bit which is only approx $120-130? from nissan for a R34.

Have you tried nissan for a price?

Get on to Alex for some part numbers, that way you will know for sure

Metro Nissan in Brisbane are pretty good for import parts, or you could order direct from www.japanparts.com

It will be at least 2 months before I get to mine.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
