so basically derlin, or same product but different name, its harder then alliminium but also more brittle. either way... will transfer just as much NVH and do the job just the same.

hell you can use anything. the whole gain is from raising the subframe and using a stiffer bush. I have a mate who has gont the right tight arsed option and cut the top off the stock nissan bushes til its flush with frame and then welded a flat steel washer to the frame and the steel crush tube. effectivly locking it. then bolting it all back up.

works just as well. but too dodgy for my liking haha

the diff angles are slightly different when compared to the older s13 era frames. this is one of many changes that nissan made to the s14/33 and upward frames.

the best thing you could do to your 32 or s13 to get more traction woul be to fit a newer subframe to it.

lol thats a bit too dodgy for my liking aswell.. yeah downside is theyre more brittle... ahh either aluminium or those.. I'm just thinking the black ones I showed would be a bit softer. I dunno though.... I'll have a good few nights sleep to think it over only reason I'm going through all this effort to find the best is because my car is pretty low, well atleast in my opinion.

Atleast at the back..

S14 much better?

you'll benifit from raising the 32 frame for sure

you'll defo benifit from fitting a s14 frame and then raising that... you'd have very little problems with lack of traction and car would handle a lot better.

not a straight forward swap tho.. need to make spacers that are offset as the bolt spacing is 10mm diff each side.

i have an s14, hence the bolt in s14 subframe.

the diff doesnt matter, neither does turbo or non turbo. as they are all interchangeable. you can fit your current 32 diff in a s14 subframe by using a s14 backing plate. in fact i have a 4.3 R200 diff from a 32 in my car currently.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
