31 Converting To 20det And Wondering About Irs And Steering Questions

[paulmac]

is the 32 steering rack any better then the r31 aus delivered model? and also what would be the easiest type of irs to put into the r31???

Cheers paul

oh yeah also with gtr rotors and calipers is it possible to fit them onto s13 coilovers? like i know it has the 100mm spacing but someone told me that the rotor could scrape or something not sure

cheers in advance

As far as i know they go straight in with no mods to engine mounts or anything you just need to do a bit of cutting and shutting with the radiator hoses

This link should help with the RB20DET conversion

oh na i know about the engine conversion thats easy as pie i just really wanna know what the differences are with the r32 and r31 steering racks is is the 32 better and why? and also what type of irs setup would be the cheapest and easiest option i know no irs is gonna be easy but the easiest coz i know the 33 irs is meant to be the best conversion but.... thats alot of money would the r30 rear end get up in there? with welding and new mounts and shit and also was a question about gtr brakes going onto s13 coilovers would the rotor be touching the caliper on the outside of the rotor and do you need spacer's? just a few questions i need to clear up before this shit gets bought

thanks

The shafts from the diff to the wheels will need to be custom, as im certain the R31 is wider, you will need a customised driveshaft too.

to get IRS on a R31 is a BIG job... the trailing arms need mounts to pivot in and things like that.

If you have a car stand and rip out the old live axle shit and then put the IRS stuff in the approx location you want to mount it, you will see alot of custom mounts will be needed to make it fit...

A Z31 (300zx) has IRS with a mutha R230 diff, (nissan equivalent to 9 inch) the track on them is wider (shafts are longer)and may be more suited...

you would be looking at more fab work and dicking around than putting the RB in!

[ctjet]

you like the dicking around though

IRS - forget that

R32 rack - there is a thread on R31skyline club about it all

cheers

ok cheers about the steering rack info but yeah my mate just wants irs in his 31 and is prepared to spend time and money on it but if its more drama then its worth he prob wouldnt want it cheers anyway

you want an irs 31, buy a HR31.

i dare say itd be far too much dicking around to fit irs to an aus-mod 31, you'd probably have an incredibly hard time making it legal aswell.

[paulmac]

yeah might go with a passage or a 2 door dunno yet but my mate wanted to fit irs into his aussie delivered 31 but.. i thought i would ask about it anyway cheers for the advice people

cheers.
