R31 drift pig

oh, BTW, a CA18DET bolts straight in LOL

same chassis, different engine gearbox, 26 spline diff instead of 28, font end slightly different, different interior... but yeah, it's a 31 LOL.

woohoo 31 LOVE! (well, it IS a R31.... kinda)

kidding? Ill be Hopefully making in excess of 250 RWKW;s when I fit and tune my TD06, and Im running 225/45 R18's on the back of the 31. On a 10 inch rim. The car has tonnes of grip as is with 200...... I dont seem to have any problems. the D! drivers drift with over 500 - 600hp (Sprinters are obviously exempt LOL) and they only run 245/45 - 265/45 tyres.....

bollocks yeah! Gonna look great on the lil' white corolla. Be even better when I drop a SR20DE into it LOL. But back on topic, even though this goes against everything I believe in, Im going to give these wheels a chance. Think of it as an experiment. 20% limo mirror tint all round, slammed, POSSIBLY a MILD kit, remove the wing, extractors and tough sounding straight pipes, packed full of High end audio, Recaro tomcats, we may be able to do something yet. Think of it as more"pimp" than "race"....

Just Jap, GKTech, ISC here in adelaide....

Yep. Can still get them now. and they go up to 16 x 10 - 27, but they're going on my daily/street car, so I had to be somewhat conservative in what I fitted. If I want wide wheels, Ill go out to the shed and look at the 31 LOL. 18 x 9 -25 and 18 x 10 +5.

I would, but I have 15 x 6.5 +10 BBS Meshies on there atm. I bought performance chllengers, 15 x 8 -4 all round In platnum silver, Right here in SA, for under $1K brand new (well, still have some to pay yet). Reckon It's gonna be too low offset in the front but, forgot to compensate for my corona lower control arms. You're right though, they'll go on with a roll and slight flare on the front, and a bit of a heavier pull on the rears. Using a 195/50 R15 on them as well, getting a tiny bit o' stretch.... Ill shoot you a pic or 3 when I actually get around to doing it. The 31 has been taking whatever little spare time I have atm. And as you can see by the photo's, offsets and guards are nigh on perfection.

Too many big words. It does good skids. :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: Had a koni adj. setup in my Turbo S3 RX7, and to be perfectly honest, I wasnt happy with them at all. Went to adj KYB AGX (later converted to coilover), and the difference was huge. I dont know why, Both sets of struts were purchased brand new, and used the same springs (Custom Aurora). Seemed the KYB's would respond a lot more to changes, and provided a lot more tunability and setup. Im not going to put them on a shock dyno, cause simply I dont give a shit LOL I know they perform better, are built better, and will last longer and do more of what I ask them than the cheap chinese crap. And to the SOTP (Seat of the pants ) dyno, they feel a bollocksload better than anything Ive ever used before. Now R34TRK, get some full length shots up mate. I want to see what can be done.

Any word on 20DET Adaptation Shane? Or too hard basket?

*Cough* minispool and singlepiece tailshaft *cough*

Hey all, Selling my KTS Carbon Fibre Fixed back, as Im getting a new pair of seats for the 31... it's real carbon as well and very light. Bought it at the start of the year, been sitting in the 31 awaiting fitting. Has a brank spanking pair of Velo alloy sidemounts too. Seat is a little faded, but not rips/tears, and the padding is in good nick. and it comes with JDM Tyte Option stickers on the back LOL I'm a pretty big, Broad guy and i Find it the slightest bit too small for me but was willing to deal with it. So suit someone of medium to large build ideally. Can use either 4 or 5 point harness with it as well. Pics pics pics... Im chasing $500 for the seat and the side mounts, and not really willing to budge on it, as Im loosing cash already. I paid that for the seat alone, plus $160 for the Mounts. Be great for the upcoming track day, if you dont have a seat. Can also get hookups on bride rails if you wish not to use the Velo sidemounts. Dont wish to seperate the mounts and the seat unless I have buyers for both. Also Have a stainless split dump for RB20/25 turbos, also fit some HKS bolt on kits... Bought it to use on the 31, but Have since bought a Trust TD06 and that comes with a dump pipe. It has a proper Exhaust Housing / wastegate divider etc. Good Quality stainless, good welding etc... Comes with dump to front pipe gasket, all stids and nuts etc. Ready to go on. After $50 for it, what I paid for it, and it's sat on the shelf for 6 months LOL. Looking for a SA only sale too, Im located in Mile End, 30 seconds off of west terrace. Contact, either PM me, or ring/sms on 0433 535 410. Cheers Ben

Unfortunatley for you, It simply isnt fact. It's an opinion, and you're entitled to it, and I also totally agree with you, but it's his car, his wheels, his taste, his cash... see where Im going with this? Im wondering if the ride height/offset/tint can be changed, it make make them look a bit nicer.

R34TRK.... Can you get some side on photo's? Trying to keep an open mind here.... Im thinking it may look a million times better with a lower ride height/tint etc...

My silk roads are some of the best coilovers to come out of japan (even though they were probably made in taiwan or some shit), they dampner adj. ACUUALLY works, and is a simple 8 point, not a fully sick 36 billionty way. You can seriously feel the difference between point 4 and point 8.... Ive had Tein, JIC, HKS, and custom made, and these by fare are the best. The ride height was also a by-product of changing to a S13 setup. A S13 coilover at full extension ie. wound to max height will actually drop a 31 30 - 40 mm..... My Front coilovers are only down about half way, and are fully captive even at full extension, and my rears are a little lower. The kit also makes the car seem lower than what It actually is too. I dont have a massive lack of traction, the thing actually sticks like shit to a blanket. It was built as a circuit car, then modded to suit drift (alignment changes and spring dampner settings). I run 225/45 R18's on my 10's, so enough tyre getting down. Id love to go wider when I fit my TD06 in the next few weeks, but I simply dont have the room underneath those guard lips. All of this being said, the 31 is still a largely untested car, and I dont think Ive realised it's full potential. Yet the one vital thing, which no matter how good the car is, will make it or break it - The Driver. And as a side note, I run 205/50 R15's on my KE70 LOL..... Be even better when I change to my 15 x 8 -4 wheels. But with a 4K 1300cc powerhouse,under the bonnet, I aint qualifying for anything LOL. It's nice not to have a screaming match like on NS.com about suspension for once. And Liquid Ice, I had another look at those pics, I really like those wheels. You'd be one of the only ones to pull of 20's in my eyes. And look how quick this shit is gonna catch on.... the japs are sticking 19's and 20's on Z33's/V35's/R35's all over japan, soon enough they'll be everywhere.

Beauty is definatley in the eye of the beholder. I reckon the white one is tough as nails.

Yeah right, unless the height of the mount is actually different to standard nissan.... the engine would be in the same place no matter what. Dont make sense though, would mean different gearbox mount etc.... Inless its actually shaped different to clear lines or something. I dont own a 33, so Im trying to use logic here LOL.

Dont see why there would be. HICAS doesnt have anything to do with the positioning of the motor.

Paint the cam covers, paint the plenum,Change silicone to blue, Hide wiring, remove things not needed in engine bay, change washer bottle/overflow tank to alloy, forward facing plenum, polish piping.... How much cash and time you got LOL.

No worries mate> keep me updated.

Do you have any side-on pics? Have to agree though. Definatley managed to pull 20's off. Look really good wiht the paintwork. Me personally Id lower it a tiny bit more, but you'd probably kiss the kit goodbye in a week LOL What colour is that BTW?

Cant find a google pic of that. so, Does anyone want to buy a KTS Japan Carbon race seat with Velo sidemount rails? Found some new seats that I want LOL.

I owe you 1 x

I give you 4 fiddy, a paper clip and a broken rubber band. can I pay in Love?

If these are still available next week, Ill take them. Simply dont have the coin this week, already comitted to buying some other stuff.
