hey,  

considering upgrading the brakes of the r30 before i  

get in certed. has anyone done this upgrade, could they

tell me what parts are involved?

ive heard i need r31 front struts not sure on what else

is needed?

cheers

DONT BOTHER WITH HR31 BRAKES.

THERE A 2 CHOICES AVALABLE:

ABS HR31 HUBS AND RE-DRILLED S14 ETC DISCS WITH R32 TYPE M CALIPERS;26MMDISC

OR USING YOUR EXISTING DISCS AND MACHINING OF THE DISC TO MAKE IT A HUB

AND USING A CUSTOM 330MM COMMODORE DISC WITH GTR OR Z32 CALIPERS 32MMDISC. FALCON 1/2 INCH WHEEL STUDS :LONG:

WITH 10MM SPACERS FOR THE CALIPERS ITS ABIT HARD TO EXPLAIN.

I USED THE SECOND OPTION IN MY DR30 :RB26 440HP ATW R34 GTT BOX:

IT COST ME ABOUT 1200 FOR THE DISCS AND CALIPER SPACES AND LABOUR FROM SBC IN ST MARYS. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH FRONT BRAKES AFTER THAT.

REAR DISCS A PROBLEM RED HOT AND CRACK IN HALF.

THIS IS IF U WANT TO RETAIN 4 STUD.

I HAVE THE WHOLE SET UP FOR SALE. PITY ABOUT DIFERANT COUNTRIES

how did you adapt the coilovers? dont they use a diffrent mounting system  ?

what you need is s-13 coilovers and s-13 hubs, there the key, the rotors from the r33 n/a version are 4 stud or you re-drill r32 rotors (which i did) put it all together. this is as far as i've gotten, if you want to to be more correct you can get a set of r31 adj camber tops or just turn around the s-13 tops to fit...cost so far about 1100. might spend all this weekend trying to fit it all, the only thing stopping me is i only have 15" rims on the hr at the moment and i'd need 16s to fit over the r32 rotors and callipars!

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
