Future Plans? Ideas

[rsx84]

here's the thing, i'm looking to a new project in the very near future and i have a big choice that i can't make a decision on,

i want a coupe to drive as a daily, i have the HR30 sitting here with only minor things to finish to get it on the road but i drive an r31 GXE with an rb25det in it and love the rb25det, i'm a huge r31 fan and love the club meetings/ cruises....

Do i go the rb25det conversion to the HR30 or sell the GXE buy a HR31 and convert that?

keep the r30... much better platform to work with, More classic styles, and lighter chassie

I like both ideas,

it would be easier to do the HR31... but

how many R30 monsters are out there? it would be an absolute weapon.

compliance/engineers would take a bit though...

i would buy the gear out of your R30( what you got exactly?) and put it in mine, and you could use the cash for the RB25 conversion!

how easy is it to upgrade r30 brakes and suspension, i know itd be easy if you were in japan but there isnt much of a r30 following here

you would still be welcome on r31 cruises with a dr30

go the HR30 RB25DET it will turn alot more heads than a HR31 HR30's are twise as rare as the HR31's and just for the record im not baging R31's i love them just as much as R30's

brakes are easy to upgrade without dr30 struts. Just use Hilux 4pot calipers, wtih 280z hubs. And a rotor to match. Im in the middle of doing this myself

Weapon ???????????

Can't use anymore than about 350HP but an RB will do it a bit easier than my L series.

One day I might throw down the gauntlet and find out lol

Sorry Matt,

You know my answer to your quiz.

Anything R31 is a brick in comparison to an R30.

i already have s-13 coilovers with r32 4pots and matching redrilled rotors on the HR30...

if i needed to upgrade i'd find a set of HR31 struts and work with those...

if i did go the HR30 way i'd have the speck to an engineer first about the body to see if strengthing and mods for the rb25 box to fit would be required, thier my only concerns with the HR30...

the other plus is that i'd have a very healthy budget to work with if i used the HR30, on top of this i could sell the GXE and i don't have to buy a project car....

Ok, plains are as follows.....

rb25det with matching manual conversion, r33 or r34 depending on halfcut costs....

DR30 rear end rotor to rotor....

New LSD....

5stud conversion....

New rims......HUSH HUSH on these......

new coilovers...

brake upgrade....

custom FMIC set up....

full 3" stainless exhaust....

new fuel system.....

a bunch of bolt ons and plugs ins......

interior dress up/ re-trim...

should be a real head turner as well....

i'm hoping a 6 month turn around from what it is now to something special......
