and kalau you nak tgk r32 subframe is gtr or not, just tengok dekat rear absober dia..knuckle gtr should be like attached picture not like gts (guna round bushing)so tgk kat 260 ni punya absober pun dah nampak..all gtrs using knuckle type rear absober..

And mainly, GT-R subframes (for rears) normally uses hook type to screw on the coilovers

While GT-S's are normally bush types.

[kaminari]

So if R32 GTR subframe can be use on 260 or not? :)

Still at my tempat bertapa~

 

[Tomiya Takato]

Most likely yes, they're quite alot of old 240z's or olden fairladies in the US that provide kits for the conversion namely to fit the IRS and R200 diff.

 

[MrNismo]

From pic can tell it's a R32 subframe. Whether if it's BNR or HR, can't really tell. My R32 is running GTS subframe with GTR knuckles. Hehehehe.

thanks all expert opinion. one more question. the HICAS is disable. if use like that, dangerous? or need to lock it??

 

[Dr.D]

of course need to lock , if not lock ur rear will be steering on its own

 

[[PIMPIN]]

How come no one has asked for pictures of the car? Fingers crossed its a mind blowing restoration job.

 

[ericwing]

of course need to lock , if not lock ur rear will be steering on its own

SO I M SO WEIRD. why the owner can drive this lady without lock the HICAS.

 

[Dr.D]

well, if u disable the hicas, there will be a free play of steering angle bu not muich but it will still effect the rear behavior. then again depends how u disable ur hicas. u can weld ur hicas rod, put spacers, replace the rack, change the whole sub frame, etc..

pic of the car or cool question bro.
