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 are poo... they are nice smooth and unnoticable to drive, still cut twins, but more likely to open wheel, mechanicals are graunchy and grind and make all noises, but are much stronger, and never open wheel

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.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • 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
