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 :(

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
