Just throught i'd post up my brake upgrade info,

what i'm doing is using s-13 coilovers and hubs, redrilled r32 gts-t rotors and 4 spot calipars. from what i've been told by a few people who have used this method is that it will work?

started with the rotors and calipars picked them up both front and rear for $410.

next is the s-13 coilovers which i've lined up a front set of JIC ones that have just been recoed and will set me back $690.

hubs are a bit of a mystery at the moment as i'm waiting to here from a couple of people. looking like beening anywhere from $200 to $360 dont know final price yet.

this is as far as i'm at at the moment! i know what the process is but will take it step by step over the next two weeks pics of each stage will be provided..

anyone with helpful ideas....

Not trying to re-direct too much,but what was the conclusion about HR31 struts into R30?

HR31's have the same 100mm caliper spacing as S13/R32,etc,so the 4 pots would bolt straight on,and the bigger discs slide straight over the hubs (after redrilling to 4stud) as they're not a single piece,as in the '30s.... Might be a cheaper way to go?

ps-are you wanting to go 4 or 5 stud hubs?

i did think about it but there not as eazy to find as a set of s-13 coilovers, i can get a set of jap spec r31 struts but they have the aus r31 rotors and calipars on them so i'm thinking there not what i'd need. i just dont want to have to import the bits..

i'll keep it 4x114.3 stud pattern

have a look in the for sale section for the going prices on the gtr bits..

got the hubs lined up yesterday for $200 so thats all the bits i need.

total has cost me $410 private sale

$690 local importer

$180 private sale

--------

$1280

theres a little bit of machining to be done to get some bolts to fit

other than that the next expence will be new pads, fingers crossed.

I have just done this myself. One thing I found is that I had to modify my strut tops to get any decent amounts of camber, as the s13's are 180 degrees out. Just elongated all 3 holes in the camber tops.

I have just sorted r32/33 brakes on to DR30 struts for a mate too all that is needed is a 10mm spacer. and hubs turned down slighty.

any tips or things i should look out for as i've just got the coilovers and habs today?

i'm working of the info from the 910 site i think phat or someone else posted up and have posted a few questions in the forum, looks like theres no wories with the front

here is what i have so far, i have the hubs too but no pic at the moment:

i need to put the work of for now as i'm having trouble getting an auto electrican to finish the last few bits.

In the future I hope to use R32 GTR bits on my DR30 . Do you know if GTR calipers use larger pistons that the GTS-T(R32) and are the pads the same . Hate to ask but what would the GTR bits cost ?

Yep the GTR calipers are much much bigger, if u hold them side by side with a GTS-t caliper you'll notice the difference hey, the GTR also uses a bigger rotor!!

I cheated, i bought Crimmo's setup hehehehe :);)

found out today my machanic is on holidays till the end of the month, so i'll get the work done when he gets back, i'm working on a +35 offset for the front to fill the gaurds got the rims allready 17" P1 racing, i've put them on the car once so far and there is a bit of a gap so i'm hoping the coilovers and s-13 hubs will sit out more...

I got the s13 set up running. using some wheels I have not sure on the offset but they are about right on a 180B and running 30mm bolt-on wheels spacers with around 3.5 degrees camber they sit flush at the top of the guards at the front and stick out a fair bit at the bottom.

I drove the car around for a day with the front wheels in the guards just and the rears almost with the rim itself in the guards with about 70mm of ground clearence to the chassis rails and a lot less for my exhaust. Looked damn tuff but I chewed out a drive shaft CV in under a day so jacked it up a good 1 1/2 inches the next day. Still sits damn low, but plenty of ground clearance for everyday driving.

My front end is now all done., sits tough on the ground, low enough to look tough, but not low enough to create attention..I've got 215/45/17's on the front and it fills the guarsd out nicely as well!! needs a bloody wheel alignment though something cronic haha!!

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
