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....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
