rsx - will check the wiring, hopefully it is the only thing wrong wif it.

yeah mate i had a good look this morning i unhooked the wire from the sensor and tryed to start her no go would just kick over not fire up!!, work on this info.

the r32 wire thats connected to the sensor is blue, thats been cut at the sensor, a new plug was put on then run to the conection at the wiper motor and is spliced into a yellow with a black strip wire (there are 9 wires running into this plug and 2 are yellow) i'll confirm the colour tommorrow!

i'll try to post up some pics of what my wiring looks like as i didnt do it and it looks like its all over the place, but it works!! also crimmo, those watanabe RS8 rims, what size are they as i'm looking at a set tommorro (ref to post 340 on page 14 for pic) any tips as thier wider than the hayashi's that were on the car to start with!

P.S. my car will be fin and engineered half way through next month in standard power output then once on road, rb25 turbo and unichip running the ECU she should be good for around 180-200rwkws!!

Hey rsx84, mine are speedstar RS-8 watanbe, 16x7, 16x8, paid $500 a few years ago, straight out of a container off the docks, got a bargain, they are sweet rims and if you can get them in the same size your laughin! :worship:

crimmo - to get them four spots on did you change to the r31 gts struts or did you adapt them with the standard mr30 stuff? im looking to do the 4spot converison soon and i have the 31 gts struts. anyone know of and hassles with this? and also crimmo, where did ya get that tower brace thingo (the blue thing) and how much?

also crimmo - was your car auto l24 once and did you get dragged by a trashed r30 with an rb20 down paynhem rd? (a while ago now)

haha yeh man! that was me!! small world huh!

With the R31 struts they should be floating disk from memory and you can slide on R33 non turbo disks, and R32 turbo 4 piston calipers, you may need brackets for the calipers, you may not too, but thats easy! :worship:

I bought the strut brace off a mate who bought it from some guy on performance forums, its adj, cusco, but i didn't notice a huge improvement as the thing f***ing sticks like glue with the coilovers anyway :cheers:

As I said I'll be down for a cruise just gotta get my little bit of damage fixed and front end back on. As would Tom, corey and Aids???? maybe mick if he buys it no doubt. We could get some decent numbers out with all decent cars. Show what old school skylines can do. A couple of weeks till my new clutch will be in. How long are others expecting to be off the road for? Shane not much longer now? crimmo?

shold be driving in 3 three weeks if all goes to plan! :worship:

bargain and then some, i'm paying $990 for 15x7,15x7.5 but they are sick and fill the guards like a glove, with the 3 peice bolts they look so much better than the cast sets you can get. fitted the strut brace today, i've got around 2mm of play before the inlet manifold hits the brace so might look into a stabalizer shock for the engine? whats the gap you have with your cusco??

RSX84,

I have a set of 5 spoke MONZA Racing Rims for my HR, 16 x 8 & 16 x 7, 3 piece, +38 offset and they fit under the rear just great. Cost me $500.00 with tyres, good enough for rego/engineering.

After engineering, I am going to put a 20mm spacer onto the front hubs and get new inner rims made to widen the fronts an extra 1 inch inwards, making 8's all round, shod with Yokohama A-008 RS II's or A-032's or Dunlop D01J's, street legal racing tyres, 245/45 x 16.

Should make it stick like sh#t to the proverbial blanket.

My coilovers have 400 lb/in front springs and 330 lb/in rears, plus 25 mm front sway bar and 24 mm rear mounted on urathane bushes and semi rigid link pins made from 10 mm rose joints. The rear cross member and diff support are mounted using urathane bushes, all custom made by Noltec in Sydney at a cost of about $400.00. Lower control arms still have standard rubber bushings.

Up front I have adjustable caster bars and urathane bushes, lower control arms have standard rubber bushings on inner mounts and have replaced the ball joint outer with adjustable rose joints making camber adjustment infinite, with the help of the adjustable strut top on the JIC's.

I may have to change the spring rates after final weighing, more closer to completion, to create better balance between front and rear, with me and about half a tank of fuel in the car.

just thinking with your rb30/25 conversion will the brake set up your engineering it with be enough as thats a big power to weight ratio?

If you need brackets you can make them yourself or you can get someone like an engineer to do it :)

what about using the calipers from the r33 as well as the r33 bracket should bolt up to the r31 strut??

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
