Great work so far!

It would be good to see some examples of front double wishbone set ups on R32/R33/R34 GTR's but I think some people keep the details close to their chest. I for one would be interested to know if it can be done using the standard strut towers and pick up points (inner) for the front upper control arms.

i eliminated the bushes in the rear LCAs, converted to heims (just like i did with the upper arm). Also, me and a pro drifter friend of mine (forrest wang from hawaii) just finished 2 days of hard work on the vmount and aero, plus a serious front end ready to battle... I dont want to post pice until completed but you guys will really like it. huge adjustable front splitter also

would be wise to put in some new diff bushes too! the rear lowwer arm, the front mount needs to be moved down to the leval of the seam weld

could you please post a pic of this? thanks! this would help me right now

here are a few more from last week

I just pulled 2.5 days of straight fabrication with

we got the vmount and entire front end really dialed, will post pics once completed. you guys will love it, especially with the bumper cover off :) Edited by Full-Race Geoff

Geoff....wouldn't it have been easier to just buy an EVO and fit one of your twin scroll GT35R or GT40R kits? :cheers:

Seriously though, what I am seeing is testiment to your dedication to making cars go faster - you have taken the "nothing is impossible" attitude in order to achieve that pursuit.

Lesser people (like me) would have given up at the thought of fitting a full RB26 and 4wd system into an S chassis. And the suspension modifications just makes my head hurt!

Cheers,

Ian

oh boy do i have updates... getting tuned on weds so i dont have any time to download pics or post. soon after tho ;)

Hi Full Car Geoff, very courageous work, and looks good. I take it you are butting the cradle to the chassis now, to raise rear roll centre? Being a later model Nissan so you don't need to change rear lower control arm squat angle, as I see the forward control arm bracket is near the seam of cradle, unlike Z32 and R32, S13 and early S14, which have too much anti squat.

Space front of diff snout down to get some diff pinion angle, so when you accelerate the diff wants to straighten and indirectly drives tyre into the ground?

I see strengthening of upper cradle mount brackets, good idea and Nismo sell these that bolt in, although welded is better.

Need to raise rear inner steering arm pivot pint to reduce toe change and have toe in under acceleration for better grip.

Happy to talk over the phone or come around if local? Cancel that I see you are accross the big pond.

Also see our site in motorsports section, to see what we have done to our zed. Our site might be down atm though. Zeds are very similar to GTR R32 and S14-15 other than MacPherson strut, although you changed this. You now need our pivoting top control arms.

We are currently doing lots of mods to a ZTT setting up for the track see this thread. I am Unique Zed

Zed Build

interesting choice on the rear LCAs, i would have thought (and did) that changing to full custom was better. Nothing special about the stock arms and pretty easy to replace with chromoly tube. Did you keep the standard rear LCA ball joints, we found it difficult to match an aftermarket cone for the ball joint socket (no machine shop readily available to me)

Yes it is Duncan with options to test and adjust and see, but depends on budget and we worked on this zed by raising the rear it raises roll centre and improves squat angle in one.

We will be raising rear inner steering pivot point next and plotting it, as in theory it should be better for toe change and toe in under acceleration.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
