Depends on things, but I assume you have a CAMS L2NS and a Wakefield licence, so $170 for non members I think mate :) Would be great if end up entering, would be great to get some pointers about car setup etc from another R31 owner.

Minispool (LSD, I think KAAZ only make them, if you can afford it)

Clutch (Be careful what you choose)

S13 Lower Control arms

2nd hand spring and good shock combo

That's probably what I would do for a cheap R31 setup.

Later with more money add Coilovers, castor arms, hydro handbrake.

Even later on a RB25DET conversion. RB30ET in my opinion is not worth it compared to the cost of a RB25 these days. Don't worry about big builds/power unless you want to compete in Australia. A stock engine has enough power with the usual mods.

If you want pointers on your drifting, or just something to start practising let me know. I'm still learning but I did receive what I consider bad advice when I was starting off.

Thanks for the reply mate.

I rebuilt the diff with auto gears (3.9) and a minispool

I have S13 front LCA's, hubs, knuckles and brakes (I have R32 brakes on the way, too)

S13 HSD HR Coilover 8kg/mm front 7kg/mm rear, I also had some top hat adapters made by a machine shop so I didn't have to redrill the top hat

Adjustable panhard rod

I have everything except an intercooler for an RB30E+T setup, I have gotten all the parts pretty cheap but perhaps an engine conversion would have been a better plan - at least now I know

The interior has been completely stripped back to bare metal, battery into boot and inside painted

Aircon gear removed, other bits and pieces removed to save weight where ever possible

After the turbo setup goes on (this month) I will start saving for a new clutch, but I have heard a lot of different opinions so I'm a bit unsure here.

Cheers,

Anthony.

What pipes? Ebay cheapies suck. I have a set and they don't work or fit well. Just keep it standard unless you get a GTR setup.

I bought a brand new cooler just need to make up a kit for it I have heaps of pipes.. And btw stinkypoo it's Kyle I just sold my fd!! Woo so I'm focusing on finishing skyline now.. Was gunna run gtr cooler but this new one I got is pretty sweet!

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
