havent had a chance to fit the hydro up yet, diff needed to be re done again...

thought while its out may as well go solid diff mount and raise the diff to hopefully put less stress on the cvs.

Brae worked his magic again and made up these set for me, stoked will how good they turned out!

not much of a update but im chasing a noise in the rear end, i think its the diff again, but i need to rule a few things out before i can go back to the diff shop with a solid arguement. really pissed off about the whole thing.

anyway enough winging, im doing all bearings and thought if im going to go that far i may aswell do the brakes.

so typical DR30 u cannot get parts, ive ended up using a z31 disc with 5mm caliper spacers. and s15 pads.

funny thing is always bugs me these are 290mm dia. fronts are 280mm lol

will be upgrading fronts in the future

yea cheers man, i no the mount will make it louder this noise isnt good. i basically got the diff done drove it up the road and came home and parked it. ive drained the diff oil and its all shiny ( if that makes sense) so thats why i think the diff shop stuffed up with the bearings. gotta go throu all the bs before i can do anything about it. like i said im pissed off.

^ haha yea was pretty f*ked ! Diff shop came to the party and hooked me up with free labour. All the 4.11 s I could find were to expensive so have gone to z31 with 3.7 s. Haven't done any real drifting but lower ratio seems to be the goods. Hanging to do skids

finally fitted up hydro! still needs some fine tuning but so far so good, thing is so good! hanging to propally try it out

also moved oil cooler down to right hand front of the bar, its only temporary now until i make up a proper bash bar

went out to the skid pan last saturday, just to try everything out, hydro is amazing! diff ratio seems o.k, just hanging for dry skids to propally see how she goes

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
