Hi,

I just picked up a 4 Door R32 for $4000. It's going to be my daily for a little while then a bit of a budget drifter.

Just want to know what is different with the suspension and rear end/diff.

Can i buy R32 coilovers and what diff should i get? Or should i go for a full skyline/s15etc rear end. Was thinking off keeping the four stud. Any real reason to go 5 stud? Would i break axles with what's in there now?

Sorry for all the questions.

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks,

As a budget drifter depending on how small your budget is at the least get an LSD. (Limited Slip Differential) a 1.5 or 2 way should do the job. You'll need to stiffen up the suspension so a set of second hand coilovers would do the job. 4 stud is fine but choice of rims can be a bit limited. Axles shouldn't be a concern. A decent clutch wouldn't go astray either for all the clutch kicking you'll be doing. There isn't much else you could do without spending lots of money. Feel free to correct me anyone as i'm only a novice but keen drifter as well.

Cheers

the r32 coilovers will fit up fine just make sure you dont get the gtr ones. there is no problem with 4 stud however if you want to change to five stud all you have to do is buy the 5 stud skyline hubs.

i would spend the money on a good lsd makes a big difference, i would also get solid cradle bushes, with the de engine you will need all the suspension help you can get, i would also get some urathane caster bushes.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I'm going to put a RB20DET in eventually. I think drifting 92kw off RB20E will get frustrating very quickly. But just wanted to know about everything else. So it is all the same as a GTS-t except for the hubs and brakes really? So i'm after a R200 diff (with correct half shafts)?

Yeah might put some pineapples in. Is there any other drift neccesities?

Thanks,

Just upgrade to the GTS/GTS-T hardware when your current setup breaks. Maybe upgrade the brakes now though. You could also strip alot of the wait out of your car to. That would give the biggest gain to your power to weight ratio and it don't cost nothing either! you can remove the rear seats, carpet, interior panels and all the sound deadening if you really want to.

what if the car's wheels has lugnut covers?

hehe

R32 GXi = 1.8l dizzy driven CA18i SOHC engine

R32 GTE = 2.0L RB20E SOHC engine

These two were pretty much poverty spec cars, meant to ferry families around on the cheap.

R32 GTS = 2.0L RB20DE DOHC engine

This was the top of the range N/A you could get, still had 4 stud hubs, but had the same drivetrain as the GTSt, which is a lot stronger.

R32 GTSt = 2.0L RB20DET DOHC turbo engine

Turbo version of GTS

R32 GTS4 = 2.0L RB20DET DOHC turbo engine

AWD GTSt, sorta like half a GTR and half a GTSt

and the R32 GTR.

R33 had a similar model structure, although the poverty model was only available as an RB20E.

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum.

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
