hey,  

considering upgrading the brakes of the r30 before i  

get in certed. has anyone done this upgrade, could they

tell me what parts are involved?

ive heard i need r31 front struts not sure on what else

is needed?

cheers

DONT BOTHER WITH HR31 BRAKES.

THERE A 2 CHOICES AVALABLE:

ABS HR31 HUBS AND RE-DRILLED S14 ETC DISCS WITH R32 TYPE M CALIPERS;26MMDISC

OR USING YOUR EXISTING DISCS AND MACHINING OF THE DISC TO MAKE IT A HUB

AND USING A CUSTOM 330MM COMMODORE DISC WITH GTR OR Z32 CALIPERS 32MMDISC. FALCON 1/2 INCH WHEEL STUDS :LONG:

WITH 10MM SPACERS FOR THE CALIPERS ITS ABIT HARD TO EXPLAIN.

I USED THE SECOND OPTION IN MY DR30 :RB26 440HP ATW R34 GTT BOX:

IT COST ME ABOUT 1200 FOR THE DISCS AND CALIPER SPACES AND LABOUR FROM SBC IN ST MARYS. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH FRONT BRAKES AFTER THAT.

REAR DISCS A PROBLEM RED HOT AND CRACK IN HALF.

THIS IS IF U WANT TO RETAIN 4 STUD.

I HAVE THE WHOLE SET UP FOR SALE. PITY ABOUT DIFERANT COUNTRIES

how did you adapt the coilovers? dont they use a diffrent mounting system  ?

what you need is s-13 coilovers and s-13 hubs, there the key, the rotors from the r33 n/a version are 4 stud or you re-drill r32 rotors (which i did) put it all together. this is as far as i've gotten, if you want to to be more correct you can get a set of r31 adj camber tops or just turn around the s-13 tops to fit...cost so far about 1100. might spend all this weekend trying to fit it all, the only thing stopping me is i only have 15" rims on the hr at the moment and i'd need 16s to fit over the r32 rotors and callipars!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
