Ok, i'm working out what i want to do in the near future and pricing up things, what i'm interested to know is,

is there any differences in the rear hubs for the HR31 and HR30/DR30??

on jenesis there seems to be nothing offered for a 5 stud conversion in the way of hubs,

but the offer front brake upgrades for 4 OR 5 stud pattern?

R31 House offer rear hubs in a 5 stud pattern at around $515 aus + shipping....lets say $600

Fronts would be easy to upgrade, just use s13 coil overs and then get a 5 stud conversion kit...

Rears i don't know...mate of mine was telling me something about using 32gtr rear rotors and cables and stuff, but im not %100 sure on what hubs to use etc etc...

Was that $600 for a pair or each hub????

fronts are no worries as i have the coilovers in already and just jap offer the hubs for the s-13 all round at about $600 as well, fronts includ bearings too sell the rear hubs to someone with an s-13 unless they would work on the HR30....

on the r31 forum they are talking about just getting the existing rear hubs re-drilled to suit. welding up the 4 stud holes and re-drilling????

i'm going to talk to an engineer about making up hubs, see if it could be done for less than what it would cost to get ones that might not fit shipped over....i think i could find a market for them aswell in small numbers...

Nah thats for an r31 local car, i.e. live axle, round flanges. Do R30's have the same weird rear hubs as an R31, kind of square?

For an import R31 the go is Z31 300zx/200zr turbo rear hubs for the 5 stud swap.

What about Z31 rear hubs?

Also a friend of mine did a bit of research recently and found that Y31 Cedric rears may fit as well, he just needs to confirm that the rear suspension is identical to the Z31. Y30 Cedric may also be an option, but they're non-IRS.

Not sure about availability in Australia as the Cedrics were Jap market only. A few of them found their way to NZ and I do know of a Y31 sitting in a wrecker's yard with the rear end still intact...

On my computer somewhere I have a pic I found of a very clean lookin RS-X with 5 stud rims, with SA plates too. never seen the car in the flesh.... if i can find the pic i will post it.

there is another one of a red RS-X with r32 GT-R rims that looks pretty pimpin. but a pretty shitty looking kit on the car.

The Cedric was available in Australia, as the 300c. There are a few around in local wreckers. They look like a cross between a Bluebird and a R31.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
