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

Would have been nice for more than one post? front info needed now aswell. guy already sold my coils! :)

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

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
