Hr31 Struts In A Hr30?

[rsx84]

if i use these struts in the hr30 do i have the use the r31 insert or will the r30 insert fit?

i'm getting a set for my r31 gxe, but wanted to put them in my hr30 for compliance cause i have to take out the coilovers, i can still use the r32 calipars and rotors on the import r31 struts...

From memory, the R31 struts are shorter than the R30 inserts. You will need to use the R31 strut and insert complete (and if you are doing it for compliance / rego purposes only, why would you care).

Oh, and when you find a second set, just shoot me a PM please...

Cheers,

this is just for compliance, then the s-13 hubs and coilovers will go back in.. and the hr31 struts go in my r31...

Also be aware that HR31 inserts are diferent to R31 ones.

Would using r31 struts lower the front of a hr30 in anyway ?

i've got the konis book here and they class the sedan and coupe as the same insert??

The Australian built R31 struts are different to Japanese built ones. The inserts are different between both.

Most import sedans and coupes have the same struts and inserts, though I have heard that some of the R31 imports (RB20E/RB20ET models) have a strut more like the Australian models that have a non floating hub, which severly limits your brake upgrade options.

So I guess go with a set from anything RB20DE/RB20DET powered and you'll be right

umm why can you not get compliance with the coilovers in...

[rsx84]

they said that you can't have suspension in that can alter the height by more than 40mm..

[Adam_RSX]

You can't have suspension in the car that is adjustable to below 100mm

Just put a 1" spacer under the insert, and what do ya know they fit.

Yeah,they are different though! Spacers under Aussie inserts is rather dodgey too,as the top of the Jap inserts are different shape to Aussie ones as well! And the import struts have a solid top hat with a proper ball bearing race,as opposed to sloppy rubber ones for the local model.

ok the question is. you say they are 1" shorter in shock length, would this also mean the total lenth of the strut is shorter?, can the R31 fronts be bolted in onto a hr30 ?

If im thinking right, that would lower it 1"

[0HR-30T]

I wasn't the one that said they were 1" shorter

I believe they are in fact shorter,if memory servers from numerious other threads on here.Have a search and you'll dig up the info
