Drag testing soon
You might want to think about a swap conversion kit because if i can find the axle and a swap kit for less than the 8.8...oh dear

The whole gtr r32 rear cross member(diff, axles n hubs) are 650 $
Customs mounts were 300$
Total is 1000 👍

Hey man, been looking into this swap too! Did you use the whole gtr hub or just the spindles / bearings?
I thought the rear diff mounts lined up pretty well too, but I see you cut and shut them...
Looks mental! Keen to see more of your car!

Don't forget that on the GTR's they're using two diffs and four axles to put the power down. On the FRS/BRZ it's all going through a single diff and two axles.

Will it be stronger than stock, absolutely. I would expect (if you can get traction) that it'll fail at lower power levels on the FRS/BRZ than it will on the GTR though.

The high power drag gtrs bleed off the 4wd system after the launch. It's parasitic to power and not needed. Look at rips etc
