Still hunting around yahoo jp for some dr30 coilovers! Been waiting for a pair of fronts with brakes or a whole set but thats hard to come by(surely you thyink people selling brake less struts have the brakes too ahahah).

So IF i do get a hub/brake less pair of fronts is there another model possibly z31 i can borrow the hubs and brakes off?.

And no im not looking for big arse mofo brakes at the moment for my 1600 and 5stud isn't very valuable to me. Just want to have that magical 100mm strut for one day if i ever upgrade to another similar nissan i can run 4spots and 5stud blingers :D

Cheers!

Oh, and ill be running 14" wheels, Would i even have any clearance issues with dr30/z31 brakes?

Hi Guys,

You can't run 14 inch wheels with stock DR or Z31 front brakes, as they are 274 x 22 rotors and they just don't fit. 15 inch minimum!

If it's for the 1600? 240K used to be the big upgrade for them years ago, or convert LH Torana, as I did to a 180B SSS. Also rear discs would be a big plus. Maybe stock MR/HR brakes would suffice and be best thought of.

Cheers, D

just get a set of HR31 front struts, they run the larger calipars and rotors but also offer the right calipar spacing to run the 4 pots/ brembo's of later model skylines, floating hubs are what you want to look for...

14" as dennis said are a no go for anything larger than stoch r31 brakes.... Maddats i think made an adaptor set up to run the r32 4pots and rotors with 15" rims but $$$$ involved is nuts....

i also have a set of HR30 front struts with Konis orange adj inserts and DBA slotted rotors that i could sell ya cheap, only used for about 100km of road travel. may as well say there brand new cost me an arm and a leg when i brought them.. going nice and cheap.....PM me if your interested

i thought z31 would be ok, And yer another option would be hr31 with ca18 silvia brakes attached. Know 14's clear them for sure. Its just not funny how rare it is to see a pair of brakes with hubs pop up, Might have to end up paying for what someone wants for them in aus :thumbsup:

Dans 1600 runs around a 275mm disk with bmw 4spots which 4spots go over, but yer caliper is where the clearance problems are.

These are looking good, too bad they aint on the main island. Today i added up total costs to build a pair with new trd shocks, cusco tops and other gear which included new dba rotors and bendix pads and that was roughly $1700

Ok and another Question, Whats max diamenter body shock can be fitted?

just to let you know i measured the HR31 rotor calipar set up and its min 170mm clarence from the centre of the rotor to the outside of the calipar, they offer a 274mm rotor and the pad face is about 50% larger then the standard aus r31 pad....

not sure what your asking with the "body shock" do you mean insert for the strut??

170mm clarence from the centre of the rotor to the outside of the calipar,

So 340mm in inches is 13.3859.

Just measured up my wheel and yer 340mm available there....but also gotta consider how far in or out the caliper sits from the hub ( theres a step in my wheel that goes down to 315mm ARGH).

MAY work but probally not with my wheels :)

Guys your calls but real world a larger disc and a floating caliper will give better braking than a smaller diameter disk with a 4 piston caliper . The bridge section of a good floating caliper is thinner than many 4 piston calipers - and surprisingly the pistons in many Nissan Sumitomo 4 pots arent exactly big anyway .

I have a pair of DR30 front struts and brakes if anyone wants them .

Cheers A .

Ok ive secured them bare strut legs with hubs and a pair of hr31 calipers to match.

Organising the brakes that may not fit already. New dba rotors from bursons are a steal at 66 a pop. But my new delema is brake pads! Was planning on bendix ultimates but it seems bendix nor ferodo do any performance pads for the hr31.

Other options for pads, ebc greenstuff or what ever, project mu and other similar jap brands, What do you guys run?

Cheers,

Waz.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
