Well I know I've asked this before .....but I've never really got an answer, just hoping there is someone new here who can help, here goes....

I need to find out if the front struts in aussie delivered R31 GTS are the same as the Japanese R31 GTS????

I've called Nissan, importers, wreckers etc but never been able to get an answer....... there must be an R31 expert lurking out there somewhere. I'm trying to find out because I need a set of Aussie R31 GTS Struts and can't find any but I know I could probably bring in some from Japan if they're the same!!

A thousand thank u's in advance

MIK

If you can get hold of some, I could sell at least 5 sets today.

If you have contacts, and would like to look into a group buy, let me know and I can line up some buyers. :D

Um, well we know that they interchange, we have an R31 Ti in the driveway with a set.

I also had a picture of three different rotors sitting side by side, but I can't access it while the R31 website is down. ;)

Stock (tiny!) the GTS/import rotor (medium) and a GTR rotor re-drilled to suit 4 stud.

Pic of GTR brakes on an R31 :(

Cool, thats what I wanted to hear....coz until someone actually says they have done it themselves or has a car with them fitted you can never be that sure. I'm chasing them up at the moment...i'm onto one yard in japan that has meant to have a bit of GTS-X stuff so I'll see how I go. Its a bit hard getting an answer out of them sometimes........Q: are they standard struts or GTS struts A: yes....thats what I'm dealing with at the minute!! but there have to be some around somewhere!!

but the standard aus r31 to gts jap r slightly different but can be interchanged

It's the 'slight difference' that permits the fitting of bigger rotors/calipers, .... hence the amount of people interested in the struts. :D

Yeah Slip I'm starting to think the same, the only reason I was originally going to use R31 GTS stuff is because I thought it would be an easy bolt in but as I've now realised it aint so easy when you can't find a set in oz. Think I'll just get some big DBA disks and make up the dog bones for the calipers. Only prob is I haven't found any decent inserts for the R31 struts either.

What about s13 or s14 struts ?? does anyone know if they are close to R31??

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
