My Track Car Build - Updates

[Simon-S14]

radius rods? is that a term im not familiar with or what, all of the sus on a 31 front end consists of tie rod ends, castor rods, swaybars, hubs / control arms and brakes....

But afaik no.

by radius rod he means castor rod, and no, you dont need to run the r32 one, just use the R31 rod.

^^^^^^^^^^^

thats it!

cleaned out cooling system tonight, was filthy.......also hooked up water temp gauge.

Rears are on metal and need to get the rotors machined, so if anyone knows a cheap place to do so let me know, also need some bluey calipers as they wont seize with the hydro handbrake, unlike pos r31 items.

[SOOKIE]

Cool car, gotta love RB20 power! Where and how much did ya pick the engine up for?

What is the best cheap coilovers out there? Trent obviously doesn't like the D2 coilovers and I've heard bad things about HSD, what about ISC?

[Simon-S14]

HSD's are the best of the "budget brands"

ISC's are shitful, also based on the D2's and so on.

Ev: we machine rotors at my work, just take em off and bring em in and we'll do it no worries

[evsr31]

Got the package off a mate for $1750.00......included everything basically.....few bits n peices I had lying around at home.

Simmo where abouts do you work mate? I'll take you up on that offer.

Who are you? Scott from CSA? I'm a little bit confused.

Cars almost complete, got my vs calipers to go on rear with pads yesterday, minispool is on its way, and hydro lines / master will be purchased this weekend. (will be making our own bracket / modifying the original handbrake)

Still waiting on whiteline swaybars to arrive, fitted boost controller (turbotech) last night and goes real well......open wheeler sucks but.

I'll be out for drift school, who else from here's going out?

man it looks tough as now, If you respray it go for something totally different for a 31... bright f**king yellow would look hot with the white wheels + stand out and get you noticed a bit more.

Edited September 20, 2007 by Simon-R32

[evsr31]

bright yellow would be a fairly mad choice hahaha, was also thinking R34 GTR blue

[Simon-S14]

would look nice but blue has been done to death on the track, make it stand out man! bright yellow with a nice flake running through it
