Modifying An S13 Bride Rail To Suit An R32

[eXc]

Topic: Modifying an S13 Bride Rail To A R32 GTST

Car: R32 GTST (Possibly GTR?)

Difficulty: 1/10

Time Required: No more than an hour, depending on your tools and measuring skills it will be as short as 5 minutes

In my experience it is much easier to find an S13 rail than a R32 rail...so...why not make the S13 rail fit the 32! It also means you can fit it to an S13 if you ever get one.

Ok this is really straight forward. I just thought I'd put this tutorial up so people will just get on with the job instead of stressing if it will work or not. This is not a very technical tutorial, but hey, it's got photos to show you how easy it is.

The S13 has 3 of the 4 bolts in the same spot. The 4th is off by around 1cm. So you can just re-drill it. If you have a 32 rail and want it to fit an S13, you need to weld a bit on!

Tools Needed

-------------

Depends on how accurate your measuring is...you need to either drill a new hole, or file the old one, or if your measuring sux like mine, you'll end up doing both!.

- Small Round File or Dremel

- Drills (don't know size...whatever size the bolt in the car is!)

I didn't have the right size drill so I had to file it out either way. I wish I had a dremel.

Modifying The Rail

-------------------

Anyways, the picture says it all. You are required to Drill one extra hole, it is the hole located at the back-right of the rail (behind your right butt cheek).

1) Measure fit the rail to your car by placing it up to the 3 holes it does fit too.

2) Mark where you need to drill the new hole

3) Drill the new hole, file if required.

Done. Easy.
