hey guys I'm picking up a flood damaged A31 tomorrow to for parts, (RB20E man) as I need a bit of suspension/steering shit for mine

but if any of you need some bits let us know, but if you want stuff, you gotta come get it, (gold coast area)

i'm going to try and get it going first, then i'll tear it down

its full of mud/ oil / thinners and crap it smells like ass inside so electrical shit won't be much chop

ok I have more, but it isnt letting me put them up, just the one, WTF they are taken off an Iphone, the first one was ok but it says the next is too big!?! HELP!

this car is a clone of mine its the same colour and primer boot like mine, and it was at a tyre shop 100metres from my work, so rocked up and scored the sucker

anyway i'm not super keen to be shipping stuff around the planet, as I don't have the time during the week, but that depends on what it is that you need over in the UK my man, you could shout me a ticket and I'll delivier the bits in person?action-smiley-069.gif

i'll post smaller stuff around, but if yas any big stuff, you gotta come get it,

I need it for the console, suspension stuff, and the 2WS conversion

Need to resize the images.

Think total is 2MB...

I'm keen on the handbrake lever including cable.

Cup holder DIN thing under CD player if it's still got it

I might be after some boot lining and shit (the hard plastic stuff), post more pics and lemme know how much you if you're willing to ship to WA.

Where exactly in QLD are you?

My work has a branch over there and they send shit to Perth weekly, comes in handy for getting stuff from East to Perth unpackaged, free :D

I may need the H/B yet, but prob not

I'll compare it to a S13 one I have and if they are similar, cef ones yours, and I have to have a look at the tray under the radio see if its the same as a facelift one, cause I want all the console for mine

boot trims look intact, just oil/mud logged. i,m smack between briz and the gold coast, work in west brisbane, wheres your brisbane branch?

Work's branch is in Brendale.

I think S13 handbrake is very close.

Do double check, butt he way I'd do it: punch opening in the floor for the main cable, link the main up to the 2 cables, then mount the handbrake bracket/assembly.

Rather than mount the handbrake first

Let me know how you go.

I'm actually just after some really stupid little parts:

1) On the dashboard, in front of the driver, right up against the windscreen is a transparent square plastic blanking plate that covers a sensor of some sort

2) The little bit of rubber that goes between the rear view mirror and the windscreen

3) One of the little round pushpin things that hold the wind deflectors to the top of the doors

4) One of the little grey plastic screws that holds the plastic trim to the B pillar.

Shouldn't be too much hassle to post them to the UK?

Ive had a look at the trnsparent plastic doofa, both lugs are snapped off, in was glued in but the top is intact

I couldn't find any type of rubber in the area you've described, post up a pic

same with you're wind deflectors, do you mean monsoons? if so it doesn't have them but put a pic up

those plastic clips are missing from this car and mine but I used some aftermarket wurth ones instead

and I love your ride thats a minter!

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
