i have r32 gtr rotors and calipers which do 31s cause i did it to my old car (r31)

$400 with rotors drilled to suit

You have no idea NIZ26T..

What R31 have you got? import or aus spec, if you have an import then you can use the GTR brakes, if you have a aus spec then no chance, unless you change quite afew things.

I have an AU R31. Which is why I want the HR31 struts with the floating hubs and 100mm bolt spacing. The GTR brakes are of no use unless I can fit them to my struts. I want the next size down from GTR brakes anyway as I want to keep my 15" wheels. So I want 280x30 rotors and callipers to suit.

You can use S13 coilovers, S13 hubs on your swing arms, with r33 non tubo rotors, and R33 turbo calipers. The S13 strut top is the reverse of the R30/31 strut top, so you may find to get that extra bit of neg camber you need to slot the upper strut to hub bolt. (or you could do what i did and machine a new triangular strut top plate, with the studs in it)

cheers

That all sounds very expensive! You also need a R32 steering rack and tie rods dont you, other wise the tie rods are held on with 4 threads!

Mine were fairly long and this was not needed

u need hr31 strut legs that have the 100mm bolt spacing - this will allow you to use r32/33 calipers and rotors.

Yes, I know. That is what the WTB thread is about. Do you have any struts Spool?
