Uprages To R31 4drs. How'd You Do It?

[qikstagea]

Hi guys.

First time posting in this particular forum - been told we speak a different language in the stagea forums so bear with me.

Im looking to upgrade the R31 sitting in my garage. Was a 31 silhouette. (still is).

Ive ben told you can use s13 control arms and steering, as well as coilovers to suit s13s. Do r32 parts fit, even?

What other later model steering/suspension components can you transplant to update the handling of a 31?

The car has the RB30DE in it, which is either going to get a VL turbo kit, or just a whole new engine. (probably a cheaper option.)

Would appreciate it if you could sling me some ideas.

Note - this car will not be registered, will be something to practise drifting, so that when i clean something up i can fix it easy enough.

Also if anyone is SELLING a 31, let me know, cos id love to have another one. 5spd a must. Thank you!

And R31's come with an RB30E single cam not DE unless you have put a twin cam head on it.

Cheers

If you have a DE then sell it to me - I'll exchange my rb30e for it. Noisy lifters and leaky cover but otherwise seems ok and put out a healthy 101rwkw on the dyno my cefiro put out 180rwkw on

s13 lower control arms, hubs, rotors, calipers, brake lines and a few bolts (m8 and/or m10, m12 high tensile) and you can do the front.

For the rear if you don't care you can just "bolt in" the coilovers but you'll need to drill new holes in the tray for the coilovers to sit as they have a different bolt pattern. I'm trying to keep my car engineerable so I bought some hats that will allow the coilovers bolt into the stock holes.

You'll also want to get coilovers that are high on a s13, or are adjustable because apperantly at the highest setting it's still low on the r31 so most of the r31 guys, from what I understand, run around on the highest setting.

^^^ I'm just regurgitating from the r31skylineclub and you can check em out there, altho their wiki section is a good start is missing often important but little things

I've got all the parts and will probably be adding to the wiki or doing my own tut for SAU when I get around to putting the parts in.
