I was recently out at Mallala and I came out of turn 2 and then everything went to crap. Turns out I broke one of the lower control arm mounts on the rear subframe :) Dunno how it happenened, I didn't clip the ripple strip or hit anything?

Anyway, the car is an R32 GTS-t, and I was just wondering what other subframes I can get so that everything will bolt up. I currently have access to an S14 subframe, but I heard the R32 diff doesn't bolt up to them properly. Also have access to another R32 subframe (for free), but it has "a small stress mark" on it. I havn't looked at it yet, but would any sort of mark on the subframe be something to avoid?

Cheers

Ah, too late, just got the another R32 subframe. Just the subframe itself, no arms arms, hubs or anything.

Full-Race Geoff, can I ask what is better about the S14 subframe? I wanted to find a hicas subframe though cos I'm cheap and didn't want to buy toe arms :( Already have hicas locked, so it's not a problem

Yeah, that's what I did, added more weld on the inside of it. Shouldn't break off now :domokun:

I actually split the bracket in half though, so reattaching wouldn't be the best. Are they fine to just reweld back on if they come off cleanly?

    • That’s a beautiful setup Tao, Have u done any development with the new Turbosmart 40mm electronic straight gate, especially in this G30 configuration?
    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)
