Casey,

I have a pair of nearly brand new orange adjustable Koni's you can have for $100.00. They have never been on the road, just got fitted to my original project car, Ti Hatch for transporting to new premises and now out, as it got scrapped for parts.

As for higher rate rear springs, for reasonably normal day to day driving, the stock ones are fine about 120~130lb/in.

Get new fronts at about 175lb/in instead of the standards @ 108lb/in. If your in Sydney, Allsprings at Heathcote Rd Liverpool will make you a custom set for $125.00 pair. If your going this way, I have the Koni's still brand new in the box to go with them. Get a stiffer front sway bar and polyurethane bushes.

What's a "negative camber plate" .................... very small one ??????????????????????

As for the diff, unless you have $1500.00 to throw around forget any upgrade, as the only upgrade is an R200 and an LSD R200 will cost you pretty much that. An open R200 from maybe a Z31 300ZX will set you back about $300 upwards depending on it's condition.

I have an standard R180 open diff, 3.9:1 that came out of a car with just 40K on the clock and you can have that with a money back g'tee. The half shafts press into the side of the diff & lock with a circlip and with a couple of tire levers or big screwdrivers, you should be able to pop them out.

The trick with getting them out off the hubs is the left one needs to come out upwards and the right down, or that's how I found it. They are tight, but the outer CV's are spring loaded and have enough play to remove them.

Remember off the shelf cars were made to have luggage and passengers in them, that really equates to nothing as far as handling goes.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Dennis

As your in Qld, probably easier to get a couple of sets of King Springs. Tell them what your planning for the car and what rates you want and they will probably make them for you.

If your intending to drive it on the road, 200lb/in would be heaps on the back and make a corresponding front pair at about 33% stiffer. eg, 200lb/in rears ............ 260lb/in fronts. If it's a drift car ONLY! you can make the rears a little stiffer to maybe 250lb/in and get a stiffer/thicker than standard 20mm rear sway bar.

Ride height is a matter of choice, but 30mm lowered is usually the normal go.

Camber adjustable strut tops for the front are near impossible to find for anything R30, but S13 tops are the same stud pattern and could be modified to get you about 2 - 3 degrees. They will give a tad over 1.5% as they are, but to get more, mods are needed.

Will PM you with contact details about the Koni's etc.

Cheers, D
