Hey guys

Im putting in a brand new series 3 r33 gtr gearbox into my r32 and decided while im at it I may as well upgrade the pivot ball and clutch fork as ive  seen some balls snap

and having a stiffer fork wont hurt..'

the upgrade fork is this

which i believe is just a +04 nissan 350z g35 fork Part #: 30531-CD000

what im not sure of is it looks like the pivot ball is shorter then the stock gtr one .as i was gonna get the gktech replacement im not sure what length to get..the equivalent Nismo

one has a long one for the gtr and a short one for the gtst.. wondering if the short one is the same as the 350z

anyone looked into this?

I'm assuming you are keeping the 32 push. I'm running the 350z fork in my blue 32 which is the Kudos motorsport kit, so I'm not sure if it's the identical kit to the one pictured. The ball pivot in my kit is definitely shorter than the stock or Nismo ones and appears to be a custom length.

Why do you want to get a different ball pivot - use the one that comes with the kit. The one from Kudos said they are a chromoly ball pivot, so it's likely to be stronger than the stock or Nismo one anyway. I'd just get the Kudos kit and use that.

only need the fork and pivot ball so don't need full kit , that why i want to buy the fork and ball separate 😉

Looks like the Kudos kit is the CPZ kit apparently...

The fork and pivot basically is the kit. The boot is different than GTR push or pull boots, being the 350Z one.

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
