i can supply pics of my 4 door, just recently been painted but ive been a bit slack and not taken any photos.

also i tried asking in another section but didnt get much response. is a newer r200 diff centre able to go into a z31/r30 r200 housing?

Yes it can mike, but all the new LSD's are viscous and not worth sh!t for what we do.

The ratios are fairly high as well. I have a manual R32, S13 one here for next to nothing, cost me over $400 but will be glad to see the end of it. It's 3.692:1

adam_rsx - mine is one peice rubber lip. it doesnt extend that far it basically is like, from a side on view, like this --> |/

if u get it .. haha like sortof triangular, thinish rubber that bolts underneath by heaps of screws and goes around the side a bit, about 1/3 of the way back towards the wheel arch from the front.

haha hard to describe, but sounds more like the GTS-R thing to me? rubber lip, one peice, bolts on !

whats the differance between viscous and mechanical? all i want is for both wheels to move when i launch as im not a drift man. my current ratio is 3.77:1 on an r200 open wheeler and seems quite good. how much we talkin for the diff mate, and is it just a centre?

viscous suposed to work harder in a strait line on hard[good grip] surface or long gravel/ice roads.when cornering and in softer stuff[sand ice] the idea is the work like a tourque convertor and dont overload the wheel with grip.

Ive see 2 types one locks harder if the diff center liquid heats up.so there is no preload as such and one wheel free spins.

GTS-R had a one piece rubber bar/lip I think, I'm pretty sure that yours isnt one of them.  Looks more like the fixed fibreglass lip that some R31 guys fit... how far back does it extend?

some japanese and exported R31 have a small strip bolted[2 piece] under the apron.in africa it comes with a/c to add air flow.like honda prelues.

Since I know a bit on HR31's,I'll chuck 2c in. :(

The lip that lowers itself (Autospoiler) was standard on GTS-X's,and option on GTS. The GTS-R lower lip is a similar shape,but extends right round the 'corner' to the end of the bar.The GMS HR31 race cars had a one piece bar,that looks like a lowered Autospoiler(but its fixed,being 1 piece) There were also a couple of aftermarket "lips" as well,and no doubt Nismo/Autech,etc options as well. ;)

GHOSTRIDER:- what oil did you say you used in your diff? Some kind of full synthetic I think?

How does it preform? I assume you still use a stock mech centre?

And is your HR30 on the road at the moment?

1. Mobil 75W/90 full synthetic is the oil. It performs as well as Royal Purple, Penrite, Castrol etc and is readily available for top up when necessary.

2. My R200 4.1:1 is a mechanical CUSCO centre LSD with 80 odd lb preload and I have a Nissan 3.9:1 as a spare.

3. No! the car is not on the road at present, but as soon as it is I'm heading your way sort of, got to see a mate on The Gold Coast.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
