90 silo
full interior and working air con
stock rb30 bar oil cooler, extractors, exhaust and filter
GP sport DG5 edition coilovers w swift 10/8 springs (incredible)
castor rods,whiteline swaybars, panhard
r33 na brakes with custom compound qfm pads all round
new/recod everything, rack pump super pro bushes tie rods ect
minispooled 3.9 with exedy clutch
nardi, bride brix on bride rail, omori, light up dildo ect
decent stereo
15x8 supers front
15x8.5-7 MKIIs rear
gtsx front lip, ti front end, gt passage corner lights

next i want to get more rims (dont want anything below 15x8) a new exhaust and a set of gauges, and maybe some aero bits if i can find what i want. dont really want to do anything more then that because it will just overcomplicate the car and i have another pile im fixing up, that and i eventually want to upgrade.

thanks guys :) i have a fucking blast in it. its a great car for reliability, it has a perfect reliability record at track (never had to stop because of problems wheels and tyres aside, ive done 15 or so sessions). ive never been defected either cause i roll around on a set of stockies between sessions. thing is, if i go a month or so without having a decent strap in it ill get sick of it and want to get something different, but then i have a run and i love it again lol.

was watching some 03 equips last night but bailed cause they got a bit exxy, would rather some MKIIIs. seriously. i cant beleive how hard it is to find 15x8 0 or 15x8.5+6 ssrs when you want them.

this makes me lol

Theres like 3 fellas in wagga with r31's on 17's, two of which are meisters and the other vs-xx but they are just too damn big for a square body 80's car such as the 31. keep it real on some 15's aye

but they are just too damn big for a square body 80's car such as the 31.

You would have hated my 18 x 11's and 12's and overfenders on my 31 then.:hehe:

Big wheels work.... IF you get the fitment/height/stance right. And that S2 with the meisters just doesnt have it.



I love this car Nick... Always have:thumbup::thumbup:. Have to agree with konakid... best 31 in aus.

just 8j +4s. i have s13 lcas so they sit out further. they clear r33 na brakes without spacers too. just on there until i can get my hands on some 8.5 +6 MKIIs or IIIs. proving hard to find but they will fit perfect

195/50s on the front cause they came with the wheels (second pair of steer tyres ive flatspotted down to canvas in like 6 months lol) going 55s to match the rear.

awesome shenadigans,

if i were you, id start saving for a 25det, and when your motor gets tired swap them over.

Then you will be in bliss.
But im not you, and my cars been on axle stands for a year and a half.

racsov
22nd January 2010, 07:01 PM
yeah. i have a layercake s13 hiding away to be used one day. im torn on what to do, but if it were going to go turbo id definately be going the 30e+t route, 25s are more expencive, need more work and money to get working well, make less tourque per revs and are so much more likely to blow

works510 : qfm race compound pads, new cables, calipers recod a few years back, and a LOT of trail and error with piston adjustment.

nother qr day yesterday, worked on entry technique, made some progress and increased consistency :) less handbrake and smaller feint so alot more efficient i think. having some dramas with front tyres losing grip tho, in some of the vids you can see the wheels facing straight yet the car is still going in at 90 deg lol

22nd May 2010, 03:02 PM
can you maybe change back to R31? theyre like a touch shorter? i dunno, im not really super dialed on the datsun knowledge, but tiny bit shorter lca might get it to work.

EDIT. brett (purple sr86) also did grind the back of the spokes on his 'champs for brake clearance. dunno how comfortable you are with that, but a tiny bit off there and the calipers might help.

racsov
23rd May 2010, 10:47 AM
i did actually put a pair of r31 lcas back in, but the lock stoppers are in the wrong place and it had terrible lock, and after being used to the nice fat track it just felt shit and not as stable, so i just the s13 ones back in. if you wanted to make custom steering stops they would probabaly work, but id rather just get wheels to fit. its ok though, i want 4 pairs of 15x8s

put some fog lights on it too, the lighting difference is awesome :3

the 31 arms with the deeper wheels and spacers would give you similar track? just more scrub radius, but not an excessive amount. lock stop then is the only issue i guess. you cant just remove it?

you are right though, wheels that actually fit are the way to go, if you can get a decent set of wheels in +10 ish it will turn nicer.

marvis

For lights are so awesome, have you cut up your good bar yet?

I think I will get adjustable S13 arms later on. That would be good yeah?

Do you know if bluebird tie tods will work instead of using the adapters? I used them on the RA65 when I put S13 front in.

racsov
24th May 2010, 07:09 PM
d - s13 arms are about 25mm~ longer overall including the ball joint. i like the front end how it is, it works well so i cbfd to change it
marvis - ive never seen bluebird rack ends used, ive got l300 one slying around but the thread for the rack is wrong for trw rack
i wouldnt bother with adjustable lcas they cost fuckloads and dont do much, and will just cause problems if you hit something. control arms are a fuse, its easier to replace one then replace a crossmember. and yeah put good bumper back on today :3

been a pretty eventful week.
ive been driving it to work everyday for a couple of weeks, which seemed ok but turned out there was a bike cop eyeing me off. last weekend he pulled me up for 10 kays over, told me hes been trying to pull me over for a while, and ended up giving over 500 bucks of tickets and a defect on the car, and a firm warning not to drive it again. sigh.

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8555/fucked.jpg (http://img811.imageshack.us/i/fucked.jpg/)

i had a drift day thursday, so i organised to tow with the help of some friends. seeing i wasnt driving it, i lowered my coils as low as i could without the tyres rubbing on the guards.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/6/2/54610.jpg (http://img801.imageshack.us/i/low2.jpg/)

thursday was fucking so much fun. i always say i love morning sessions, but this was really great because we had a fair few people willing to train, and keep the toe in. three cars hitting turn 2 at 140 kays at once is pretty amazing. three cars ass dragging into the crossover at once is something special too. richy, blair, robo, and tayno, you guys rock. loads more pics in robos thread.

have been doing sprints too. my lakeside PB was 1.07.6 on the exact same setup i use for drift (re001/komet) but kept having oversteer. got some used direzza semi slicks, got over enthusiastic in practice in the morning and shredded them up, so by the time i got to timed runs they were fucked. i still got consistent 1.07s, he best being a 0.5 oh and one of my front brakes was on metal too for the last couple of sessions. lol. hopefully have some not fucked semis next time.

Well done Nick, this is why we all love you, cos its basically like your driving a toyota, underpowered, heaps of fun, and no judge will ever take you seriously.
Don't let it get you down mate, like everyone said you steer that thing like a mad man, actually you steer every 31 like a mad man.
