Hi all. I have only just joined today and I hope this post is where it should be...

If not, sorry and I'm sure someone will set me straight.

My names Rob and I have just bought my son an MR30 sedan to do motorsport stuff in.

I have a rally 240Z and was attracted to the Skyline cos I sort of understand Dattos and the Skyline was cheap and I could just stick a 2.8 280ZX motor in it..

We have run it once at a club khanacross but the shocks are ...well, not very functional ....

Does anyone know where I can get some cheap shocks ?

Are they an orphan type that arent like R31s at all...?

Can I fit some out of something else?

It is a cheap car $500.00 and I haven't got the funds to source Bilsteins or Konis and really for what we are using the car for at the moment.. some gas shocks would be fine....

Hoping someone can help here....and thanks for having me..

Hi,

There's also R30 discussion over in the 'Classic Skylines' section : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cl...ylines-f77.html

(and some R30 khanacross discussion as well, see recent posts by 'Daewoo')

cheers,

JH

Thanks for that. I know Daewoo... We rallied together both in his 1600 and my Zed......I'll check it out.

For what you want, I reckon some Pedders shocks would suffice. Or you could go up a grade and get some KYB or Tockico shocks. Not as good as Bilsteins / Konis, but not as expensive either! And Pedders will be able to do HD springs as well.

Thanks everyone. That is the info I need. I will contact them re shocks. I had heard that the rears were the same as R31's but when i looked up a Monroe catalogue, they had different part numbers.

Anyway thanks again...

better get some pics of our khahnacross weapon up here eh?

The R31 rear shocks have a 20mm shorter stroke, which is great for us tarmac terrorists with lowered cars, but for your dirt works, I would get the originals if still available. Koni & Bilstein no longer make the standard R30 configuration rear shock.

Cheers, D

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
