What spring rate are they? Too soft and it'll be poo....

What engine are you using etc?

And just double checking, you do know you'll need an S13 front end and drill the rear towers or mod stock tops/get cusco pillowball HR31 rear hats for them?

Not too sure yet on the spring rate, havent checked the details.

I have a choice of 3 engines...

Yeh i checked out the r31skylineclub guide to it, i saw whats required.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Beware... the guide makes it seem a lot easier than it is lol.

This is exactly what I used... and it all bolted straight together. No cutting/modding required.

S13 Silk Road Section RMA-8 10kg/8kg coilovers

S13 Hub/Knuckle/Stub axle

R31 LCA

R31 rack/tie rods/tie rod ends

R32 GTS-T pot callipers

R33 GTS non turbo 4 stud rotors

R31 brake lines

S13 caliper banjo bolts.

I tell everyone to use the R31 lca so you dont encounter the tie rod end problems (ie only having 4-6 threads to wind it onto)... if you want more track, use spacers.

Have you used the adjustable castor rods with stainless steel joints - $365 (350 + 15 postage) from the group buy on r31skylineclub.com

Yep. I have them in the car, plus whiteline front and rear sways, noltec panhard rod, Cusco Tower bars and Ikeya Formula Rack spacers. You can buy plenty of gear for them, Just need to know where to look for it.

You cant get the castor arms anymore though. :P

Another option is to take the standard castors to a machine shop/engineering mob, and have more thread turned on them, so you can wind them in more. Replace the bush with a Super-Pro/Nolathane job and they work well.

you could also use R32 GTST rotors and get them drilled for 4 stud or get R33 gtst rotors and calipers and drill them for 4 stud :) and have better brakes

I have 32 GTS-T rotors stiing on the shelf awaiting drilling and to be put on.

The GTS rotors are good because they bolt straight on, and people cant give them away. And ANYTHING is a brake upgrade on a R31. Even CA18 brakes LOL.

i come on here because of the good rep i hear and

i could easily find help about audio or other car stuff

If you walk into my room you will only see imports

If someone asks me what car i like i say "skyline"

this is a good place to hang out and gain knowledge bout stuff

and im still looking at buying an import

im mainly the guy who would like the look of the car

not the engine

i saw drty2 and i said f**kING WOW!!! THATS LOOK SWEET!!!

i also wanted something to move it around with

the fact is that even if i tried to insure the car with the turbo etc. it would cost a shit load

my dad was thinking to put in his name but if i would of crashed it well i get $0 in return

and Madaz dont worry bout it man its ok you can diss me im a noob anyway hhaha nice car!!!

So because you've done *gasp* nearly 50 hours of driving, you are a hero and can do fully hektik doughys and just be fully sik in general? Please!

I'm sorry if I'm coming across an ass here but the last few months there are certain members that have joined this board that are bringing down the general quality of this forum and I feel ashamed and embarrassed that they are associated or have anything to do with SAU. I dunno if other people feel the same but I'm already enough of a target as it is driving my car. I don't need the police reading these forums, seeing reports of "doughies, spinoffs on the free way, etc" and then seeing me drive down the street with an SAU sticker on my car and associate me with that behavior. Yeah, you are 16, fantastic, I was once that age too, never did I resort to such foolish behavior and while I'm no angel, yes I do speed, we all do and yes I haven't done things I'm proud of, I'd like to think I drive without putting others lives in danger and on the odd occasion I have done something stupid I haven't come onto a public forum to brag about it to try to boost my ego. Fact is, it doesn't impress me and I'm sure it doesn't impress 99% of the people on here. I have a friend who drives like a dickhead and his behavior doesn't impress me either, don't think I'm having a go at you because I don't know you, I just don't want to see this club go to shit and get a bad rep like so many of the others out there.

Mods feel free to delete this post if you feel it is out of line but I'm just expressing my feelings and is not a direct attack on Pepsinator, I'm sure he's a good bloke, I just don't think he fully understands the shit that can go wrong behind the wheel and the consequences thereafter...

what about when my mate took you for the test drive heslo? sorry for putting your life at risk >.<

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Wow, didn't realize it was THAT much of a PITA haha.  Can I potentially source an auto transfer case to salvage parts from it for a rebuild of my manual case, if it's FUBAR? Is it like [part set a=manual], [part set a + part set b = auto], or are they configured/engineered completely differently?

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The autos suck. Anyone with an auto wants to go manual. Also, the one thing you don't really need to change is the dash. You don't really need to know (on the dash) what gear position you have selected. What you do have to change is the tailshaft, a bunch of wiring, probably gearbox crossmember, a bunch of fiddly shit like the spigot bearing in the back end of the crank, find a flex plate and a converter, etc. A whole lot of pain. Most of those autos have been rightfully put into metal recycling bins, so they're not exactly easy to find either.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Appreciate it man, gives me hope based on my Google searches on availability of GTR parts.  When you say I'm "not going to," is this in the vein of "who on earth would want auto," or more "it's impossible?" Not trying to be rude, truly don't understand haha. I know, it'd be a madman move to go manny to auto, but if it IS my only option, I'd be curious on the lift.

      Shit's f**ked. Looks like there might be a crack to the intake valve seat on the opposite side of the chamber also. Defo pull the whole thing down. Nothing good can come from just doing the head on a motor with comp figures that low anyway. You'll hate yourself less in the long run.
