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!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
