    Defected Hr31 -> Roadworthy

    has it run out of rego in SA??

    if so i'd say to rego it in NSW you would have to do what ever is required to rego a new car there?

    i've, in the last 2 months, bought a car from VIC and rego'd it here in QLD, the rego had run out 2 days before i got it rego'd here and had to just get a road worthy cert and rego it as a new QLD car.

    i hear the NSW requirements are pretty tuff though. you might have to get what ever the problem in SA was fixed anyway....

    Comments: There is nothing wrong with these hubs as they were just not required for the conversion i am doing, bought as a front / rear set front just jap. will be posted as is still in original box. the great thing about these is they offer you 5 or 4 stud, use the 4 stud and your current rims until you can afford those better bigger rims then it takes 5 mins to change the pattern to 5 stud and off you go (don't forget to re-drill your rear rotors to5 stud)..

    Coilovers For My Mr30

    in Classics (1953-1988)

    Posted

    u could cut and weld the coilover to the strut so keep the std brake/hub set up. save stuffin around with s13 hubs etc. but yea stuck with crap brakes...

    to do that right would cost more than the hubs, a lot of stresses go through the struts and you don't want that the crack going around a corner..

    you be better off getting r31 struts and having the threaded sleves welded on to convert them to height adj with some good shock incerts.

    what you got to think about is "why s-13 coilovers" what do you want them for:

    height adj - for about 400 you can get height adj kits from Noltec / cusco, $500 a bloke on ebay will send you a front set of struts already made with springs and adj strut tops, $800 and they come with new incerts, These are for and r31 but the only difference to the r30 struts is they are shorter by 30-40mm...you would have to get a set of r31 rotors and calipars but they are bigger and better then the r30 items so thats a plus...

    Coilovers For My Mr30

    I was told that you cannot repress s13 tie rod end ball joints into r30 ones.

    To make the r30 tie rod ends fit the s13 ones you can counter sink a hole in the top which enables you

    to get the nut down enough onto the tie rod end so you can get the split pin through.

    Only has to be drilled a about 3mm.

    whats funny with the s-13 tie rod end and r30 tie rods ends is that they look exactly the same it's just the s-13 items are tapered to slot into the hubs, and the thread is wrong direction to just bolt them onto the r30 rack ends.

    i never worried as i never went with the coilovers in the r30, i put them in but never drove the car with them in. you could just put the king nut on upside down??

    Thanks rsx84 yeah that helps alot as my mate has a set of used coilovers from his s13 and i can get those for $200 but i wont be able to get the hubs and rotors is that a problem or will i still have to buy the hubs and rotors and arte the adjustable strut tops for a r30 hard to get or will someone like just jap have them

    Thanks josh.........

    it can't be done without the hubs as the s-13 use seperate hubs and shocks..

    the strut tops don't have to be changed as they fit but only allow a small amount of chamber adj using s-13 tops, if you are wanting lots of chamber then look into cusco r30 strut tops...

    you can just see here where the coilover bolts to the hub if the brake line wasn't in the way.

    what you need is the S-13 coilovers themselves, s-13 hubs and try to get the matching brakes/rotors for the s-13 unless you want to go to r32-34 items ( re-drilled rotors to 4-stud with larger rims needed)

    optional items: s-13 tie rod end ball joints re pressed into your r30 items, r30 adj strut tops suited to the coilovers you get, s-13 adj tops have to be reversed so you loose most of the -chamber adjustment.

    they all just bolt in using the r30 Lower control arms, but you have to wind out your steering rack ends and get a wheel alighment..
