hey guys,

Purchased a set of coilovers a few months ago, and finally had the time to try them on couple weeks ago. The thing is, the fronts fit perfect, yet the rears dont match up when they bolt on. For a second i had thought that the coilovers were different though after some double checking i am convinced they are the right ones. So i am lead to believe my rear hubs have been changed within the history of the car. I decided to try them on a friends r32 and they fitted perfectly; mind you he changed the rear cradle to s13. So i am a bit puzzled, any thoughts would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any pictures also on actual r32 skyline gtst rear hubs, just so i know exactly what they look like so i can compare.

the GTR rear hub shock mount has a bolt that u can unbolt and remove by hand whereas the gtst has a bolt/stud that is pushed in a rubber bushing that u cant move unless u press it out.

does your current shock have a H type bottom mount?

s13 rear bottom and R32gtst are the same specs. R32GTR will be different. Send through some pics of the mounting points when you get a chance.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
