Can someone tell me which bits I need to convert an 84/85 model DR30RS Skyline to the 5 Stud patern . I suspect the front hubs will be R31 and probably the rear stub axles from an IRS R31 . Also I seem to recall that the non 4 spot braked R32 used similar sized but thicker front discs and matching Sumitomo steel calipers also with 60mm pistons . Can I use any of this and maintain all the std offsets .

Thanks A .

R31 IRS models are 4 stud - you'll need the 5 stud hubs from a turbo Z31 300ZX. Which are bloody rare!

As for the fronts, if the hubs are semi floating type (like the R31 passage etc w/ removable rotor) just a stimple re-drilling and you'll have 5 stud.

If you're going to use the R32 4 pots, you'll need new offset wheels. If you're going to 5 stud all around, rims shouldn't be a problem.. just get anything from a turbo R32, and you're laughing! They're the perfect offset/fit for a Bluebird.

off topic here, I noticed you said you had a Bluebird.. check out my website if you're keen - www.910bluebird.com - now has a web gallery + a forum (shameless plug) :D

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
