  1. is this factory turbs or was it a conversiomn??? the cooler pipe couplings look interesting!
  2. awesome setup.... should sell quickly at this price!!!! can you email me the pics as they not opening properly on my pc [email protected]
  3. grab it mate, best thing to do as you can take all you want then put it up on here with a list of parts etc, im doing the same one day to get a manual setup
  4. damn good!!!! maybe the cooler air is helping??? good ol rb30 powah...
  5. maybe its an FJ/DR emissions thing? the aussie L24e in the series 2 MR30 had steel 'pipes' in the exhaust ports that heated up and burnt un-spent fuel, so maybe that was enough for it to pass the gas testing, not needing a cat.... cats pretty much become useless after a few years anyway... feed em to the dogs eh!
  6. geez! that was a stab in the dark! well im looking at getting a system done on the r30 i was wondering why it has a cat? is this actually of an R30? im trying to visualise how it all fits up and im in canberra, can drive to syd, so if you know of anyone traveling south we may be able to arrange transport i can use an aftermarket S13 system from the local importer, but thougth to see how this looks first... any pics of it installed and have you got anything else R30 related for sale>>>???
  7. i, leaning toward the hilux ones, its the weight that im not keenon, ive always been told that reducing un-spring weight is a great way to increase performance, so adding weight is a little backward it seems, would be safer though thats for sure i have been told be a z car guy that the calipers off a prado and later model toyo's are alloy instead of iron, so ight look at a 4x4 wrecker for the rims, i was starting to sand them for re-painting and then polishing the lip, but the paint was friken hard to get off, so i got them sandblasted for $30 each, then powdercoated gloss black for $30 each, i was going to take them to a wheel place to polish the outer rim bit for the dishy look, but ran out of cash i chucked em on and actually like the straight black look, makes the car look a but like a tuff streeter still deciding on polishing the outers, will see... but the overall aim was safety, as the 195s on the Ti rims were too slippery, and i nearly could NOT drive in the wet, the single spinner diff makes a mess of intersections and merging onto 80km/h main roads in peak hour an absolute mission! so now with 225s all round, grip is infinite under normal and slightly spirited driving conditions, wet and dry but if im being a bit of a goon they will slide if a make em, which is hardly ever....
  8. theres a place just off woolongong street called A1 Sandblasting, its down a VERY bump long driveway out through a metal scrapyard, a few farmer like fellas in a BIG shed, yellow and black sign on top i got 2 rims done for 60 bucks
  9. i think the R31 stuff i put in the rear was stuffed, like soggy and soft suspension, scraping tyres on guards all the time, ridiculous so i put the r30 stuff back in, alot better now, sxcrapes only on big roundabouts will be looking at putting in king lows all round, with koni internally adjustable struts, to be completed in next month or so also looking at front brake upgrade of somesort, iv had enough of these pissy things!!!! ive looked at VT commo calipers, welding up the mounting lugs then re-drill holes at 89.5 spacings, plus the easy looking hilux caliper mod, but they are really heavy monsters!!!! any suggestions out there>>> apart from s13 coilovers and all that rubbish
  10. i know its a long shot but is this exhaust still available?
  11. anyone need pit crew?? no chance of me entering, but would hitch a ride to spectate and take happy shnapps?!?!
  12. yes, i tried to get stuff from him, and he emailed pics etc, but as usual, being a TOTAL waste of time, i think he either really has his hands full, or just a retard i can get email address and mobile number to you, 0422308435 his name is jason dont use big words as he might not understand i offered him money etc and he just doesnt get his act together
  13. are you wanting to sell any iron mask parts to fund your conversion?
  14. how is the wolf powered beast anyway? sorry for thread hijack///
  15. would you be ableto outline what may be needed to pass RWC test? Ive been burnt before in Melb...
  16. ive seen that grey 2 door at the car show thingy the other week, it looked very very good, If i had wanted a R31 then that would be it... clean inside and out, good brakes, great seats, engine all in great nic would cost you a HEAP more to build it to the spec it is now, so its good value for money thats for sure i really liked it...
  17. im pretty sure you would of used the sr20 one, im positive my mate had one, could of been the ca18 version
  18. looks good karl, hey in the ACT do you need to get a safety cert or similar done for transferr of rego into another owner?
  19. would you let us know what shop did the pull-down? just thinking of getting a quote fromthem to get it all running and back together etc
  20. if anything a small extension may be needed in the radiator pipes but most silvia and r32 rads fit a R30, ive even seen torana ones, and vn commodore ones in r30's too!
  21. get in contact with the adaptronic guys http://www.adaptronic.com.au/ you could get all the parts etc for $900, then some dyno tuning and youre done!
  22. im thinking of getting a 420c with my k rudd money.... anyone else?
