Front suspension setup

Posted by Kent in K Drivetrain, K Suspension

Here are some more detailed pictures of the front suspension setup including the r33 gtst brake adapters, custom front coil overs (i am pretty sure they started life as C210 struts) and the japanese adjustable top hats

Rear crossmember bushes

Posted by Kent in K Suspension

Picked up a set of nolathane bushes for the rear crossmember today.

I have been meaning to do this for a while, to try and prevent any slop in the IRS rear end of the car.

Both Redranger Nolathane and Superpro make the required replacement bushes, however my local parts shop couldn’t get a hold of the Superpro ones (the cheaper option), so i got a set of the redranger ones instead.

As you can see, for the price (AU$155) you get 4 massive bush halves, and 2 crush tubes. The Redranger part number is 49060.

While i pull out the rear end, i will get some detailed photo’s of the R200, CV and disk brake setup. I also have a whiteline rear swaybar kit to install so stay tuned!

R200 Longnose LSD

Posted by Kent in K Suspension

I managed to get a hold on a longnose R200 LSD out of an Z31 200ZR Fairlady. The Centre is a 2 way Nismo with a 4.375 ratio which hopefully will be just about perfect

the Diff should be a simple swap for the R200 longnose that i am already running. Don’t worry about the half shafts, they didn’t break on this diff, they are simply there just to hold the oil in :)

More stuff from japan

Posted by Kent in K Exterior, K Interior, K Suspension

another shipment of items arrived from japan!

  • Red GT Badges
  • set of bushes for the fron sway bar links
  • set of reproduction factory service stickers
  • Aluminimum interior trim panels

I had hoped to also win a set of rear KPGC110 light surrounds, but they are still eluding me as is an aluminimum dash surround. Though i may end up doing a modified cluster anyway since i am using all autometer guages.

Unfortunately the grill got a little crushed during shipping, however i am sending the parts off to a fibreglass shop within the next 2 weeks to have moulds of them made.
