Re: what diff in r30 skyline hatch?

Sam I've got a pair of 240k arms, richard will tell you that these bolt in too, but they have the spring seat in them like stock 1600 arms. One problem is they have the same type of mounting point at the bottom as 1600 shocks have at the top. Some people switch over the arm mounting point but a friend of mine who works at Pedders assured me we could get a shock with the same mount on each end from somewhere in the catalogue. This would make it bolt on. i don't have flares but I'm hoping they will allow +40 offset wheels to go straight on.

btw, is your car black with CA18 turbo? What turbo do you use on that?

rclough,

where are you located? I'm very interested in grabbing the arms off you, I
have flared guards on my 1600 and the increased track would enable smaller
or no spacer plates. Also cam I bolt my R31 rear discs onto these arms out
of curiosity?

Sam.

1984 Manual Hatchback MR30' Skylines with rear disks used 4.1 R180's.


Auto

MR30's would have been fitted with 3.9 R180's.   The diff and the
driveshafts from either bolt into the the 1600 (But note my last para
below).

If you like a bit of work to get big, beefy, rear disc brakes, the MR/HR30
trailing arms (with the big discs) bolt on to the 1600 cross member giving

slightly wider track.   The real work starts where you have to use a
coil/shocker unit to replace the separate 1600 spring and shocker, or


insert

a 1600 spring holder in the Skyline trailing arm and lower the shocker
mounting point on the trailing arms - big engineering jobs. These days its
easier to use R31 disc conversions on the 1600 trailing arms.

HR30's (not originally sold in Aus but they now exist here.) have the same
R180 diffs but are fitted with CV type driveshafts that have 6 bolt outer
flanges at the axle, so they need to be altered if you are using the 1600
trailing arms.  I have only studied one HR30 (the original Skyline


turbo) -

a low Kms import fitted with a 6 cyl L20A Turbo.   I got my 1600SSS a bolt
in (no floor cutting) 5 speed gearbox from it and I scored the rear


trailing

arms just for interest - (still have them if anyone is interested).  I
assume the beefier rear driveshafts were to cope with the bigger power.
