I have a friend who has been building a car - an R31 Skyline, Rb30E 5spd. He uses coilovers from an s13 and some steering control arms etc from an S13 aswell. Trying to track down a stiffer rear swaybar.

Car runs extractors from the wreckers and a 2.5" exhaust, autobarn heavy duty clutch, Pod with CAI, new leads and plugs. Diff is a weld job, is the only dodgy part.

Was a cheap car to build (about$2k, its no D1 car but its tidy and registered) and makes enough power. Should be taking it out soon hey.

completely stock rb30e apart from extractors, exhaust and a pod filter, never misses a beat :D

exedy hd clutch, minispooled 3.9 diff

s13 front coilover conversion with jic 9kg fronts, s13 tie rod adapters, adjustable castor rods

rear is s13 7kg teins with cusco hr31 top hats (bolt in perfect then)

whiteline swaybars front and back, and adjustable panhard rod

got some r32 front brakes on for good measure

heaps of other small shit, but its certainly not a bad car to slide considering how much it cost. i drive it every day too

non turbos great for archerfeild, will be going there again this wed. it struggles at QR though, but its all about the clutch kick

rb30s are pretty good drift motors mainly because they are cheap as, but also because they have great midrange. unlike a rb20 you can rev it to 3k and drop the clutch and get wheelspin. only shit bit is they have no top end, dont rev hard and have a gay limiter

nice work guys.

nick, i agree QR is a very power demanding track. even for circuit work you need a fair bit of power to push through the corners.

i do a little bit of motorkhana stuff and i agree the clutch does cop a fair bit of abuse, but contrary to what everyone says about having buckets of power to 'powerslide' a corner, i have found suspension setup and technique is more important.

I been pondering about selling my GTS4 and buying a boro S13 for drift/girp application..

I care too much about my gts4 to take the risk of tire walls etc. etc. etc. So I ifugre.. if I dont care so much about it.. I could go balls to the wall..

Any idea?.. should I take the leap?

they are 235's and not on belts but they resemble some sort of home made drag slick.

i should really replace them but.. im poor :blink:

try to make tyres a priority... they are the only thing keeping you on the road regardless of how much/little power you make. federal 595 is a well priced good performing tyre, check em out.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
