nice one mate, i've got 215/40/17"  and 235/45/17" at the rear just for that drag look. might have to get the guards rolled before i get it resprayed, has anyone used the adj chamber tops from the s-13 at all?

Yerp mine's usin S13 strut top's at the front, i've got the option to use them at the back as well, have to redrill the bolt holes though, i beleive that Josh may have done this???

Yeah i've got 235/45/17's to go on the back as well, when i pull my finger out and get them fitted!! I'll go take some more happy snaps of the bucket in a minute and post them up when done!

r31 import struts are rare as rocking horse shit and cost an arm and a leg.. ask the bluebird boys!

my hr31 struts costed me $250 including the struts, hubs, calipers, rotors etc... not too expensive at the right place at the right time

Guys,

Have a question about this, am looking at using some s-13 coilovers on my HR30 to start off with, and brake upgrade further down the track.

What are people using for rear suspension setup? Can s-13 coilovers be used with redrilled strut tops? Or do you have to use aftermarket strut and lowered spring setup?

What size rims are you running now?

Cheers.

To solve the s13 strut top reverse problem, slightly slot the top bolt inwards where the strut bolts to the hub, make a big difference.

You cannot use factory s13 struts, or GAB shock and spring replacement, the spring seat wont fit in the wheel arch.

S13 rears need a strut top change or redrill to fit up, but do a good job and worked well as camber correction for me.

You'll most likely need bolt on spacers for the wheels to clear the calipers.

Its a pretty simple conversion, and a bit of and easier way out of a brake upgrade because you get the suspension all done at once :D

the front disks will not fit as the hub for the r30 fronts is a part of the disk itself..then theres the whole reason for puting the hubs on, the mounting holes for the callipars are different to the r30 whish will then allow you to mount the r32/33 callipars...wheels i'll be running P1 racing 17" with a 35 offset looks like i'll need spacers though....

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      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
