Hey guys,

I'm in the midst of designing a toe/bump steer correction kit so that owners of 30 and 31 Skylines can run S13 coilovers with S13 uprights.

Would love to know how many are interested in this. Am thinking they'll be around the $150 - $175 mark, or I'll do them for $1300 with a set of G-Force coilovers.

I'll probably only get 10-15 kits made to start with so please let me know an idea of numbers.

Cheers

Peter

Hey guys,

Here are the basic mockups of the bump steer correction kit (not finalised) and I've also created a rear coil over adapter - as you know S13 coilovers in the rear of a DR30 need to be at their highest setting (usually) just to get a lowered ride height (can't get a standard height) so I have created these that will bolt onto your coilovers so you have more height range adjustment, plus no need to drill holes as it converts from 2 to 3 hole.

Haven't worked out pricing yet but will be using top quality bearings on the bump steer kit which might drive up the price a little, but you don't want them failing on you!

Hey guys,

I'm finalising the design and these should be in production in March. Just some final measurement checks and also some dust boots for the bearings. The complete kit front/rear will be around $250 - $280 and will come with everything you need to grab your S13 front uprights, S13 coilovers and bolt them in.

Please note this is for the DR30. The R31 kit will differ slightly.

Looks like we have 5 interested guys here. I'll be producing 10 kits to start with.

I've made a design change. It came to my attention that the kit wasn't going to be IPRA legal (which is what I'm building my DR30 for). Tie rods ENDS are free, but I have to use standard tie rods (or from another similar car). The use a normal rod end would put too much strain in the shank, so I've designed my own tie rod end that takes a motorsport spec spherical bearing. The good news is its a more elegant design, although it might cost a touch more, it will be more robust.

Okay so the new design (not shown yet) is in production. Here is a replacement tie rod end (that takes a spherical bearing). I'll have the full batch by the end of the month, then have them in my car for testing asap.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
