r30 skylines

ah right cheers for clearin that up i dont know too much about 31s too be honest or even 30s lol just got mine and started reading up!

yeah id say its the same as the one off the GTS-R coz its definately a fixed type.

i think the HR31 models are GTS and GTX

[Adam_RSX]

GTS-R had a one piece rubber bar/lip I think, I'm pretty sure that yours isnt one of them. Looks more like the fixed fibreglass lip that some R31 guys fit... how far back does it extend?

DR JOSH

so's mine near the front... the one I got off the hatch isnt the best as it has a small dent (I think) near the front, but you can have a look at it if you want

i can supply pics of my 4 door, just recently been painted but ive been a bit slack and not taken any photos.

also i tried asking in another section but didnt get much response. is a newer r200 diff centre able to go into a z31/r30 r200 housing?

Yes it can mike, but all the new LSD's are viscous and not worth sh!t for what we do.

The ratios are fairly high as well. I have a manual R32, S13 one here for next to nothing, cost me over $400 but will be glad to see the end of it. It's 3.692:1

adam_rsx - mine is one peice rubber lip. it doesnt extend that far it basically is like, from a side on view, like this --> |/

if u get it .. haha like sortof triangular, thinish rubber that bolts underneath by heaps of screws and goes around the side a bit, about 1/3 of the way back towards the wheel arch from the front.

haha hard to describe, but sounds more like the GTS-R thing to me? rubber lip, one peice, bolts on !

whats the differance between viscous and mechanical? all i want is for both wheels to move when i launch as im not a drift man. my current ratio is 3.77:1 on an r200 open wheeler and seems quite good. how much we talkin for the diff mate, and is it just a centre?

[PHaT MR30]

viscous are poo... they are nice smooth and unnoticable to drive, still cut twins, but more likely to open wheel, mechanicals are graunchy and grind and make all noises, but are much stronger, and never open wheel

[davehoos]

viscous suposed to work harder in a strait line on hard[good grip] surface or long gravel/ice roads.when cornering and in softer stuff[sand ice] the idea is the work like a tourque convertor and dont overload the wheel with grip.

Ive see 2 types one locks harder if the diff center liquid heats up.so there is no preload as such and one wheel free spins.

some japanese and exported R31 have a small strip bolted[2 piece] under the apron.in africa it comes with a/c to add air flow.like honda prelues.

[PHaT MR30]

just get a detroit locker!!!!!!!

[tomj]

hey guys, sold my 30 , though ill still be keeping an eye on this thread.

[rsx84]

anyone throught of stickers to go with the shirts?

tomj: did you pass on a link to this forum to the person who bought it.. what are you replacing it with?

[0HR-30T]

Since I know a bit on HR31's,I'll chuck 2c in.

The lip that lowers itself (Autospoiler) was standard on GTS-X's,and option on GTS. The GTS-R lower lip is a similar shape,but extends right round the 'corner' to the end of the bar.The GMS HR31 race cars had a one piece bar,that looks like a lowered Autospoiler(but its fixed,being 1 piece) There were also a couple of aftermarket "lips" as well,and no doubt Nismo/Autech,etc options as well.

GHOSTRIDER:- what oil did you say you used in your diff? Some kind of full synthetic I think?

How does it preform? I assume you still use a stock mech centre?

And is your HR30 on the road at the moment?

[tomj]

i did pass on this thread, without a doubt.

im moving onto a r31.... perhaps 4 door

Mike,

PM me and make me an offer.

The answer to your questions is yes, as far as I know.

And it's the complete stubby diff assembly.

1. Mobil 75W/90 full synthetic is the oil. It performs as well as Royal Purple, Penrite, Castrol etc and is readily available for top up when necessary.

2. My R200 4.1:1 is a mechanical CUSCO centre LSD with 80 odd lb preload and I have a Nissan 3.9:1 as a spare.

3. No! the car is not on the road at present, but as soon as it is I'm heading your way sort of, got to see a mate on The Gold Coast.
