R32 Rear Coilovers Dont Fit?

[silbastian]

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.

total lack of info and no pics dont help.

part numbers

brand

description etc

measurements,

etc etc

My only guess is that you have bought gtr coilovers for your gtst

[silbastian]

The previous owner had them in their gtst so im lead to think they are not for gtr.

I see Mayhem lurking. We all know GTS/GTR have different rear mounting points. eg fork/ eyelet.

Can you explain how they don't match up? Maybe the previous owner swapped a GT-R rear cradle into the GTSt. Can you do pics of what you have?

[silbastian]

heres a picture i just took then of the coilover. they do not match as the fitting on the knuckle is an eyelet aswell.

Sounds like your car has a GT-R rear end. Can you get a pic of that as well?

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.
