The boost gauge aka vacuum gauge (WOFTAM) was originally, but if you want something that is of some help, PM me and I'll give you the details. If you haven't noticed, I also have a 9000 rpm tacho mounted in the cluster.

Cheers, D

Can I ask why? when the intake air has passed through an intercooler, the intake pipe from the intercooler then runs across the front of the engine & behind the header tank of the radiator before entering the throttle body. It suggests to me that the cooled air is then reheated just prior to entering the engine, so "why bother"???

Yeah that would be Phil.

Hills run sounds good, my DR should be back in action in a few weeks. :)

I didnt notice the tacho. ... would be a good excuse buying one of them just to fix my rpm tacho that has never worked. :P just sucks everything R30 is costly and has to be sent from Japan

You would not believe how hard the 260kph speedo was to get.

Firstly a Jap version 180kph speedo has to be sent over, they then convert it and send it back.

If your looking for an 8000 rpm 6 cylinder tacho, PM me, as I think I have a few laying around.

Cheers, D

Sounds like alot of work, why must R30's be so difficult ;)

If I need one I will let you know.

With the Carbon Fibre stuff, dont you have to send them the parts aswell to convert? In that case I might have to raid a wreckers for some MR30 interior parts to send over aswell.

Then I have to be a good boy and stop spending money on the DR until I get a KGC10 :P

doesnt really heat it up, not hard up against the rad but yea bit long. at the time it was the easyest way cos most of it came off my rb30e+t and was pretty close, also 600mm long cooler so wasnt room 2 make the pipe come bak 2 the l/h side.

but now with alot more room under the head lights and no gay grill there ill re do the piping so b lot less of it...

Once the R30's are in your blood you cant seem to let them go...

I have given up the GTR idea, keeping the DR30 and I am now getting a full retrim and redoing inside the boot which was one thing that always let my car down. Still havent given up the idea of also buying back my old Paul Newman to add to the collection as well if Zeb hasnt sold it yet.

I know what you mean, rule number one (and the most important rule) for getting a KGC10; The DR30 now has to stay :P .....I'm really glad I didn't sell it when I had the chance.

What are you doing with the trim the RS-X Red/Black... or something different? From the outside yours looks smick, quite surprised you are doing a re-trim... though didnt you have the "menstral red" interior?

The rear seats had faded (yes the straight red trim) and the rear quarter trims needed to be redone. I have the black/red RSX front seats (with power adjustment) now and although they are in good condition they dont perfectly match the door trims etc. I am thinking red/black with a red cloth insert and and either black leather surround or black cloth. The red and black trim design would be the same as the RSX spec but with only difference possibly the leather surround. As for the boot the trim panel behind the rear lights is crap and it is a bit messy generally. I am putting in a small sub and trimming the whole boot to match nicely. I just want the interior to be smick like the exterior. Some people might not be bothered but I am a bit anal about these things.

You might have to get on a queue for your PNV. If I had the space it would already be here, but I believe there is some interest from down south for that one.

Cheers, D

I will see what happens. I have left my offer on the table with Zeb.

I have seen some pics somewhere with a black lether sorround in an RS-X it looked pretty pimp

... I wouldnt really wouldnt call the being anal, I would be the same :D

Probably like the one I saw on yahoo japan. It looks more pimp in that photo as the red cloth insert looks more pink than red. Provided the red is right I think it will lift the look of the interior but still be in keeping with the car. Here is a job my trimmer did on a Mustang. You just have to imagine a red insert where this one is blue.

Ahh thats where I saw it! looked the right red on my computer... though knowing japs it wouldnt surprise me if they were pink :D

i've always liked this one :)

Thats mint! I like it too, though its my DR's twin .... only red :)

Why does everyone opt for canons on the rear instead of twins like the original?

Mine just happened to come with a big cannon, one day im going to go for a big twin exhuast though... not a small twin like the ones on Jenesis.

what are peoples opinions, Im starting to rethink a KGC10 GT-R mock with RB25DE and now leaning towards importing an RS-X Sedan and a R30 Station Wagon and build and RS-X wagon ... thinking it will be alot cheaper and rarer in the long run.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
