looks like a fun build

-s13 rail only 3 holes mount up, so mod one corner or get a r32/r33 rail

-thats a s13/r32 rear cradle which will obviously fit( the a31/c33 doesnt have an exhaust mount at the rear of it ), seems like you need a hicas lock bar or toe arms as i cant tell if its non hicas)

- also need a r200 s13/r32 4 bolt diff backing

pics of tube rear end?

figure your on SD ?

Cheers on Rail Info

I will take some more photos of the cradle and diff etc when i get back home for you to check out, appreciate that tho, yeh i was wondering what was missing in between half shafts n diff casing.

Yeah will do, i need ideas on best way to finish rear tubs too, cost wise etc.

Yeah from sd back in the day but ive found the bunch pretty immature upon arrival again lol yada yada ya lifes tough.

Ill swing ya a pm cheers

Dmax still make them in wide and d1 vented etc and ya need to send them via container only due to there size when packed etc. containers land in brissy tho. You can maybe send them via air ems but would be more costly. Final Konnexion im pretty sure do them as well, i cant find rears tho. Final Konnexion do frp doors as well which im gonna get after i finish the cage side bars. I get wholesale rates too if anyone wants new gear when i get mine.

Still working out an offset and width to run, then will order some works due to wholesale discount and they offer heaps of sizes offsets disk type etc.

Been trying to find some 16" ssr meshies on yahoo tho as they seem to suit the 4drs and i like that style of rim. Yeh the rears are pole flared from previous owner so i might just tidy them up and leave them, saves getting itchy repairing f/glass everytime tyre shreds/blows. The Final Konnexion kit is quite different, seems to flow fine with the dmax guards, just need to sort rear and get the perfect offset so the rear does look right etc

It's more the proportions that look odd if the front bulges and the rear's standard. I have 16x9 0's on the front with 15mm spacers an they probably wouldn't quite fill 40mm guards yet 16x8 +1's just fit with too much camber and a pole flare on the rear. Have to go metal flares to fit 10's under to make it proportioned.

Yeh i hear ya there. Ill have to fiddle about with offsets etc as i want to slide on the same size rears all the time etc. im only looking to run 9's front and rear. The metal flares sound the go and would flow better for my FK rear bar, i need a metal fabricator friend lol.

Cheers Danny, after i finish the mammoth paint prep it will come together quickly, drift cravings are killing me lol.

Im on yahoo jp every night bidding etc so theres sea post and air ems leaving all the time from kyoto.

For big parts and cars/ motorbikes i use shane bingham in osaka / erin jdm garage bris for container space so if your parts are small etc i can send them direct to your door otherwise it would need to be posted from bris to adelaide from the container. Streeter gives me his wholesale discount rates for new parts too so i always beat local prices.

Cheers frenchie i already have an s13 rail in erins container so ill try it out first

Cheers for the detailed answer matey

Update on Car is not much as work is busy as puck, will post photos on the weekend of a few sets of wheels n other parts i got coming from jp. Hoping to take the car into work soon so i can paint it and do the perspex parts and finish the boot/ rear tubs.

Need rb n box for this too.......i want to slide now

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
