some ppl may have read my profile and seen that i am brining over an r31 gts-x :P . it looks to have electric struts at the front.

are these any good, can i put coil overs in it easily, if so what type should i go for.... money is tight so maybe a cheap option :P

hey man

if u havent already .. join www.r31skylineclub.com forums

2nd hand JIC coil overs are available from japan ....... in unknown condition in most cases. I was suckered into buying them when i wasnt as informed as i am now .. and ended up spending after a reco on the fronts over 1700dollars on OLD coil overs. dont go down this avenue unless u know what your getting yourself into

You can buy new from Zeal via R31house in Japan...... expect to pay upwards of 2500 with the current exchange rate. balls to that!

Another option is S13 coil overs, they are quiet a common modification on r31s around australia... for street or drift etc. using the S13 hub n knuckle with an S13 ball joint in your R31 arm .. as they all interchange and fit.

there is plenty more information on the 31 forums, feel free to search and read the write up on the clubs wiki pedia, pictures provided etc

alternatively .. u can install a good set of bilstien shocks into your coupe .. all round and purchase custom Aurora springs to suit HR31. i believe springs are about 380 a set custom ordered.. and bilstiens are available from a club member GTS145 ... new for about 200 a piece or so.

Anyways im sure i'll see you again, on the 31forums......but good luck and look forward to seeing pics

i have been told to use s13 parts for this b4 as money is tight what parts do i need to fit the coil overs and would it be worth getting steering arms and the other parts fist or just do it all at once :(

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
