drtydog Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 you need an r32 steering rack as well for longer tie rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowgan Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 planned on just lengthening the standard ones as opposed to a whole new rack?? make them longer by getting an engineer 2 weld a nut onto the end. is the different rack a better option?

rxtoy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 there's an r31 forum in Aussie, they know shitloads about this sort of stuff. do searchs and shit before asking to avoid flaming, its one of those forums. i can't remember what its called cause my link is on my other computer but kyteler put me onto it originally so he'll know. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagefumer11 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You, DO NOT need s13 lower arms. You can haply use your normal r31 gear. S13 arms will push the wheel out and give you massive camber, If you have nothing to correct this, you are stuffed. Sticking with the r31 arm is fine. Tie rod ends are only need to be done if you are installing s13 arms. You need 13 lower hub carriers. You will also need to open up the bottom secion of the tie rod end mount on the hub so they sit fully in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowgan Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 ^^^ thank you very much, sounds like a far better option. sounds better than wat is stated on the r31 club site. so with the standard r31 lower arm i would use the knuckles from an s13? and the brakes and hubs etc from one aswel? and then bolt the s13 coilovers from there. by opening up the bottom section of where the tie rod end mounts, do u mean i would just drill it out or something? thanks very much for your help.

stagefumer11 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 No Worries. What you need are. s13/s14 hub and carriers. This will bolt onto your factory lower arm. (single ball joint) Then you have the s13 brakes. or upgrade to 4 pot skyline units. with 280mm rotors.. Then its a matter of hooking it all up.
