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 ?

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.

What sort of wheels are you running to fill them? It's hard to pull off fibreglass fronts on 4 doors. Bolt ons are a way different shape to the gradual flare of fronts and wide fronts with nothing on the rear looks retarded.

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

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
