Still hunting around yahoo jp for some dr30 coilovers! Been waiting for a pair of fronts with brakes or a whole set but thats hard to come by(surely you thyink people selling brake less struts have the brakes too ahahah).

So IF i do get a hub/brake less pair of fronts is there another model possibly z31 i can borrow the hubs and brakes off?.

And no im not looking for big arse mofo brakes at the moment for my 1600 and 5stud isn't very valuable to me. Just want to have that magical 100mm strut for one day if i ever upgrade to another similar nissan i can run 4spots and 5stud blingers :D

Cheers!

Oh, and ill be running 14" wheels, Would i even have any clearance issues with dr30/z31 brakes?

Hi Guys,

You can't run 14 inch wheels with stock DR or Z31 front brakes, as they are 274 x 22 rotors and they just don't fit. 15 inch minimum!

If it's for the 1600? 240K used to be the big upgrade for them years ago, or convert LH Torana, as I did to a 180B SSS. Also rear discs would be a big plus. Maybe stock MR/HR brakes would suffice and be best thought of.

Cheers, D

just get a set of HR31 front struts, they run the larger calipars and rotors but also offer the right calipar spacing to run the 4 pots/ brembo's of later model skylines, floating hubs are what you want to look for...

14" as dennis said are a no go for anything larger than stoch r31 brakes.... Maddats i think made an adaptor set up to run the r32 4pots and rotors with 15" rims but $$$$ involved is nuts....

i also have a set of HR30 front struts with Konis orange adj inserts and DBA slotted rotors that i could sell ya cheap, only used for about 100km of road travel. may as well say there brand new cost me an arm and a leg when i brought them.. going nice and cheap.....PM me if your interested

i thought z31 would be ok, And yer another option would be hr31 with ca18 silvia brakes attached. Know 14's clear them for sure. Its just not funny how rare it is to see a pair of brakes with hubs pop up, Might have to end up paying for what someone wants for them in aus :thumbsup:

Dans 1600 runs around a 275mm disk with bmw 4spots which 4spots go over, but yer caliper is where the clearance problems are.

These are looking good, too bad they aint on the main island. Today i added up total costs to build a pair with new trd shocks, cusco tops and other gear which included new dba rotors and bendix pads and that was roughly $1700

just to let you know i measured the HR31 rotor calipar set up and its min 170mm clarence from the centre of the rotor to the outside of the calipar, they offer a 274mm rotor and the pad face is about 50% larger then the standard aus r31 pad....

not sure what your asking with the "body shock" do you mean insert for the strut??

170mm clarence from the centre of the rotor to the outside of the calipar,

So 340mm in inches is 13.3859.

Just measured up my wheel and yer 340mm available there....but also gotta consider how far in or out the caliper sits from the hub ( theres a step in my wheel that goes down to 315mm ARGH).

MAY work but probally not with my wheels :)

Guys your calls but real world a larger disc and a floating caliper will give better braking than a smaller diameter disk with a 4 piston caliper . The bridge section of a good floating caliper is thinner than many 4 piston calipers - and surprisingly the pistons in many Nissan Sumitomo 4 pots arent exactly big anyway .

I have a pair of DR30 front struts and brakes if anyone wants them .

Cheers A .

Ok ive secured them bare strut legs with hubs and a pair of hr31 calipers to match.

Organising the brakes that may not fit already. New dba rotors from bursons are a steal at 66 a pop. But my new delema is brake pads! Was planning on bendix ultimates but it seems bendix nor ferodo do any performance pads for the hr31.

Other options for pads, ebc greenstuff or what ever, project mu and other similar jap brands, What do you guys run?

Cheers,

Waz.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
