Hey guys Iv been working on my project r31 passage gt, and now its time to look at brake and suspension. I was wondering if someone out there has done the conversion on the 4 door r31 and what it takes. I am able to get a hold of r32 5 stud gear would that be enough?

What kind of work will it take? My main reason for the 5 stud is I'm keen on getting bigger brakes for a bit more power and better handling/traction while I'm at it lol.

All tips/suggestions and comments will be much appreciated.

need z31 or custom for the rear. for the front the most common thing is s13 conversion and for 5 stud s14 hubs

if you have the turbo brakes you can bolt bigger brakes on and for the 5 stud ones just redrill the discs to 4 stud.

hey thanks guys really appreciate this. So other then the pre 88zx/zr I really dont have a choice except to go custom? My reasons in doing the upgrade are because my plans with the car is to get somehwere around 500bhp so I would like to stop reasonably well for my own safety also wider wheels choice will be nice.

Would it be alright if I stuck to four stud all around and upgraded my front discs from 260mm to the biggest the 4 pot calipers will take? What are you thoughts on this?

I think I may just opt for keeping the 4 stud hubs and upgrading to bigger brake discs and using gtst 4 pot fronts with good brake pads all round, seems to be the cheapest effective way. What do you guys think? I mainly want it to stop ok compared to now lol

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
