r30/r32 brake upgrade

[Boof]

nice one mate, i've got 215/40/17"  and 235/45/17" at the rear just for that drag look. might have to get the guards rolled before i get it resprayed, has anyone used the adj chamber tops from the s-13 at all?

Yerp mine's usin S13 strut top's at the front, i've got the option to use them at the back as well, have to redrill the bolt holes though, i beleive that Josh may have done this???

Yeah i've got 235/45/17's to go on the back as well, when i pull my finger out and get them fitted!! I'll go take some more happy snaps of the bucket in a minute and post them up when done!

r31 import struts are rare as rocking horse shit and cost an arm and a leg.. ask the bluebird boys!

my hr31 struts costed me $250 including the struts, hubs, calipers, rotors etc... not too expensive at the right place at the right time

how's your car coming along Matt? Your mechanic comes back from holidays this weekend doesn't he? how long before she's on the road mate?

DR30 struts also have 100mm spaced caliper mount ears . My plan is to find hubs with a different offset (inwards) redrill the stud holes (4) fit over hub and mount calipers .

Guys,

Have a question about this, am looking at using some s-13 coilovers on my HR30 to start off with, and brake upgrade further down the track.

What are people using for rear suspension setup? Can s-13 coilovers be used with redrilled strut tops? Or do you have to use aftermarket strut and lowered spring setup?

What size rims are you running now?

Cheers.

To solve the s13 strut top reverse problem, slightly slot the top bolt inwards where the strut bolts to the hub, make a big difference.

You cannot use factory s13 struts, or GAB shock and spring replacement, the spring seat wont fit in the wheel arch.

S13 rears need a strut top change or redrill to fit up, but do a good job and worked well as camber correction for me.

You'll most likely need bolt on spacers for the wheels to clear the calipers.

Its a pretty simple conversion, and a bit of and easier way out of a brake upgrade because you get the suspension all done at once

Will the original R30 discs fit the on the s-13 hubs or will i have to do it all at once?

[DR JOSH]

All will need to be done at once. Or you could probably pick up s13 brakes cheap as chips to if ya dont wann fork out for bigger brakes straight up.

the front disks will not fit as the hub for the r30 fronts is a part of the disk itself..then theres the whole reason for puting the hubs on, the mounting holes for the callipars are different to the r30 whish will then allow you to mount the r32/33 callipars...wheels i'll be running P1 racing 17" with a 35 offset looks like i'll need spacers though....
