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.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
