I run R31 struts in my 610 coupe. The stock R31 brakes would be fine for your L series, and they fit under a 14 inch rim.
I don't know if a stock R31 strut top pcd is the same as 180b, but I'm assuming if they are coilovers you can easily change to an S13 top.
But what mydato said, you only take so much from forums, you still need to do your own measuring and research, no point whinging about, it is what it is. Free advice from mainly people who aren't mechanics.
I'd recommend bump steer spacers and spacer rings if you plan on going low.
Good to know someone else is running them.
I'm planning on using bump steer spacers, could you please enlighten me as to what spacer rings are? I haven't heard of them.
with the PCD, r31 is the same as S13 and S13 is the same as 610, so r31 should also be the same as 610. But hey, I can modify...
I appreciate the fact that the advice on here is free and most members are just hobby mechanics, but that doesn't mean I have to accept total bullshit spouted out from people who only reply so they can be first so say something as if it's a competition.
I've found that in the datsun scene there is a massive prejudice towards new ideas, as if the old way is sacred and if you veer off the path into the unknown you will be damned for eternity. What these people fail to realise is that the old ways were once new, and with new ways coming in, their cars then become easier to modify and quite often the parts involved are better, more plentiful and cheaper.
