I got a stock one, but otherwise get it made.

Your sedan got rear discs with it's IRS???

All hatch's have rear discs and they're interchangeable with sedan. Just attach at cross member, but if you do this you will need the handbrake cables as they are different to the drum ones.

nah got me a dr30 rear end. disc, calipers, shafts, everything except diff

r31 gts front shocks etc with discs and calipers

rear is dr shafts (i think) but an r200 open wheeler which has stood the test of time for at least a year of second gearies

Same spec, just different offset on hubs.

Is yours pre or post 83?

82

You would have a TOKIKO style master cylinder???

If yes, there is a 1 inch upgrade available, don't know what vehicle it comes off, but if you took your old 7/8 m/c to a brake shop, or you know exactly what it looks like, get them to order you one.

Our 84/5's can only go up to 15/16 unless we change all the bundy tubing.

im not sure. the cylinder seems to be holding up ok so far. what are the advantages of changing it?

makes sense. z31 discs are the same as dr30's?

Same spec 274 x 22 as your R31 GTS.

We have discussed this topic extensively on another thread.

I have DR front & rear, slotted rotors and EBC green pads up front & black rear.

They are a high temp KEVLAR compound low friction, excellent road set up. But I am going to upgrade my fronts to BNR32 GTR 296 x 32 with 4 spot Nissan alloy calliper, only because I have, potentially over 300Kw at the wheels.

Anyone know if cutting a MR30 hatch grille (the eggcrate one with the three slats) so that the eggcrate crap comes out, effictively makes it the same as the other three slat grilles?

And if a set of coilovers were made for a 180B, they should bolt up to a R30 since R30 stuff bolts up to Dattos?

when i did the engine swap the machanic put the r32 master cylinder on mine, never had a peddel feel so good! with the hr brake callipars on mine i had to go to bendix comp X pads as EBC dont make front pads for these callipars...

Jenesis is www.r30.co.jp but when you access it put it through Alta Vista translation or similar so you can sort of understand what there saying in descriptions.

BUT! don't get to excited, they won't trade with you DIRECT, it's a good site to explore, and a lot of their parts can be made here just from the pictures. It is a good referrence site as well, to see what they do with them in Japan.

If your interested in getting some bits from them, it might be a good idea to put it to open forum discussion and we try and jointly get an order together and then get in touch with a parts importer, like Nengun, one of SAU sponsors.

Only one problem I can see with your car...... far too many doors!

i'd put my hand up for a group order from jenesis as there are a few body parts i'd like from them, i could speck to the boys at option 1 as they have have containers comming over each month...

Already done that, I talk to Nathan & Paul at least once per week.

Yeah i would be interested as well in getting some stuff from jenisis...I know in one of the earlier pages on this mammoth post that there was talk bout it, but that kinda died in the ass i spose...I wouldn't mind some of that bracing for a start that would rock!! Depending on what we can get and for what sorta $$$ it will all cost of course though!!

Geez,you've gotta be on the ball to keep up with this thread!! :D

Talk to Whiteline and they will tell you both rear tower brace and floor braces aren't necessary' date=' but Jenesis makes, sells & uses them, so! someone aint up to speed.QUOTE']

I thought it was still a good idea,even with a rear tower brace,as the mid-section can get a bit "flexy" with no B pillars...

Also,I may be interested in a engine dampener brace from Jenesis,depending on price.Does anyone know if there's something to do the job locally?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
