DR30 struts should be easier to get . Calipers/pads easy to get and I think disks are same as 274mm Z31 ? . Struts are not common but I may be able to locate some . I have a complete spare set (no dampers) but keeping till my DR30 is sold . I did know of another bare set .

Cheers A .

Bingo. We have a winner. They are identical, and an upgrade option is the late Z31 Turbo twin piston caliper.

The only potential issue is pad choice (or lack thereof). You can get standard pads over the counter at your local AutoRepcoBarn, but performance pads will need to be cut for them. No biggie.

DR30 calipers are same as one of the Pathfinders and one of the local pad mobs does a 4x4 grade pad that works very well . Any pics of the late Z31 caliper and are pads same as DR30 ? Do the calipers interchange all else left std ?

Unfortunately, it isn't a straight swap. They are very similar to going for a Z32 / R32 Skyline setup. Discs are 280mm x 26mm and the caliper is a 2 piston slide-type. Oh, and since you need the hub as well, you go to 5 studs.

Pics / swap info can be found here...

Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up! :P

i was going to say that the Z31 hubs are 5 stud.

Z31 rears are as rear as rooster eggs, r31 boys look for them to do 5 stud conversions

you'd be better off looking for the hr31 imports!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
