I Have recently found out that my rear subframe is slighty bent! I have gtr 32 rear subframe, i got told they will fit straight in but when i went to take it to tyrepower they said it wouldnt fit! If anyone knows about fitting a r32 gtr rear sub frame into a 32 please get back to me!! If Not anyone got a rear 32 subframe forsale or il trade the gtr 1 for a normal 32 1??

cheers :thumbsup:

do you mean bare r32 gtr subframe?

all you need is to change the back of you diff housing to 2 bolt (currently 4 bolt like s13) right

transfer all your parts to the gtr cradle, assuming your gtst has hicas

you can get greddy copy covers for $99 on ebay or niswreck sell oem for around $55

The question is why would you want to install the GTR subframe? they use hicas and have worse subframe bushes, they give you a worse roll center

because my mate gave me a gtr subframe and he said he fit straight in. So im just gonna sell the gtr subframe and get a standard gtst 1

the GTR subframe bushes (the 4 ones that bolt subframe to chassis) are longer that the GTST ones, about 12mm IIRC, dont quote me. the extra length of the GTR bushes wont let you get enough thread started on the mounting pins when you do the nut up.

Is there a way around this?

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet.
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.
