havent had a chance to fit the hydro up yet, diff needed to be re done again...

thought while its out may as well go solid diff mount and raise the diff to hopefully put less stress on the cvs.

Brae worked his magic again and made up these set for me, stoked will how good they turned out!

not much of a update but im chasing a noise in the rear end, i think its the diff again, but i need to rule a few things out before i can go back to the diff shop with a solid arguement. really pissed off about the whole thing.

anyway enough winging, im doing all bearings and thought if im going to go that far i may aswell do the brakes.

so typical DR30 u cannot get parts, ive ended up using a z31 disc with 5mm caliper spacers. and s15 pads.

funny thing is always bugs me these are 290mm dia. fronts are 280mm lol

will be upgrading fronts in the future

yea cheers man, i no the mount will make it louder this noise isnt good. i basically got the diff done drove it up the road and came home and parked it. ive drained the diff oil and its all shiny ( if that makes sense) so thats why i think the diff shop stuffed up with the bearings. gotta go throu all the bs before i can do anything about it. like i said im pissed off.

^ haha yea was pretty f*ked ! Diff shop came to the party and hooked me up with free labour. All the 4.11 s I could find were to expensive so have gone to z31 with 3.7 s. Haven't done any real drifting but lower ratio seems to be the goods. Hanging to do skids

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
