Mate, you should have dropped me a PM! :D

I'm doing alright pal. Currently recovering from long overdue (been putting it off years) shoulder surgery so no work or car tinkering for me. Just...

I've had lot going on and been pretty busy so my build thread has been neglected, but for the time being, this summarises where I'm up to now...

I think lengthening the prop is the way to go for me as I already have the S13 axles and 5 stud hubs to go on. I can also use the original prop for my other Z31 as it's missing one. I'll keep the...

Yes buddy, UK Spec turbo.

My plan was to get a custom prop made once I had decided on the right diff, but swapping the guts into the original R200 sounds like it could work. I'll have a good read...

That's a bit more in the right direction. I really need to look on an online calculator to see how the ratio difference will translate into RPM.

Howdy dudes,

I currently have an S13 LSD to go in my Z31, but the ratio is off. I really need to be around 3.3. What would be the best solution? Can the R33 NA auto diff (if I can find one) bolt...

I haven't. There's quite a few which leads me to my original question.

Finished all the rear end poly bushes last night. Going to give everything a clean up and some paint.

Arch extensions have also turned up so I offered them up...
...

Does anyone know where I can source a polyurethane ducktail spoiler?

LOL!!

Mate, seriously, it's 50/50 at the moment. I really want the Z stanced (nothing too outrageous mind you), but I'm not about that low life. :D



Hearing a lot of positive feedback...

Sweet. Cheers for the feedback. :thumbs:



I'll have a look at Yellowspeed. I did consider shocks 'n springs, but I've always ran shocks 'n springs in the past so I'd to switch it up a bit and...

I'm completely out of touch with what's on the market for the S13? There are some really cheap coilovers on eBay and then there are more expensive ones on Driftworks. I'm currently looking at the HSD...

CA build definitely sounds like the way forward. :)

That's some crappy luck. If I were buying a used CA or SR, I would want to break it down and inspect it before putting it in. They're old engines that have had years of abuse by now. Whatever route...

Removed all the surface rust and POR-15'd the rear end today.

Took the diff cooler off, cleaned it up and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

Looking for opinions dudes...

The car is going to be gloss black when she's finished.

I'm thinking about a set of Rota D154's in steel grey to suit. Kinda has the 80's OE feel to them.
...

Awesome, thanks dudes. I'll check them out. :thumbs:

As I'm starting to get balls deep into restoring my Z, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent car restoration club?

I'm pretty good with basic repairs, but wouldn't mind some advice on...

Yes buddy. They came as standard on the UK-Spec models.

So, the list of things to do is increasing quite rapidly...

While I wait for the subframe and diff, I have starting pulling the rear end apart to start any body restoration work that needs doing....

Wouldn't surprise me if they were the original shocks that came with the car. :D

Yeah, all good me ole chum. You ok? I had a few delays before I could get started on the Z, but we're finally there...

After a lot of penetrating oil and copper slip, the old subframe came out today.

I think these have seen better days!! :wack::wack::wack:
...

Ole Porschie is still keeping you busy then Arry? :(

Made a start on the Z today Got the old rusted out exhaust off and suspension released. Hoping to get the rear subframe dropped and out tomorrow.

I have an S13 subframe on the way which, with a...

I would lean towards the earth as the first port of call and go from there.
