r30 skylines

hm well you guys probably dont care too much but success! my dr30 is working again A-Ok after that little electrical scare. Malpassi rising rate is in set for 34psi idle pressure, running 1bar boost, and it goes well. seems to not be working as hard, i guess its probably just lost a bit of edge coz its running richer overall, but pulls hard all teh way to about 6.5k wen i shift now so it seems happier. idle is still a bit rough but slightly better. fixed my BOV too, it had a brass restrictor in the T-piece for the vacuum. even with proper vac supply its still one of the quietest BOVs ever, tis a Prof one. (proffesional sheepdog maybe?). just sounds like my dog sneezing like 'tttsssss' haha works better tho now with a proper supply, less delay on shifts. quite surprised that it made a difference really but it has. so im happy with my car again atm ! haha back on track for FMIC in about 3-4weeks.

 I'd like a '30 series unit,as they sound like an actual bell dinging,and the HR31's are more of a generated "beep" The one in my old HR30 was a beauty...

Ding..click.....Ding..click....Ding....aahhhhhh,lovely!

Hmm dunno if its the same, but on my mates MR30 headlights on and door open it makes that ding noise, mine doesn't as its been ripped out

[Adam_RSX]

Yeah, its the same unit that does it.

Does the malpassi replace the mushroom looking think off the side of the manifold?

[boj01]

adam_rsx - don't bother trying to put your turbo timer next to your head unit. i tried it and it was a major hassle. i ended up putting it on the RHS of the steering column on the hard plastic part just above your knee. there was 4 slots in the plastic as well (i cut out a small rectangle usign them) so the wires can come from behind the dash and straight through the hole so they are hidden

Just a thought, what do everyone elses oil pressure guages sit on?

[Ghostrider]

ANY BODY INTERESTED

I just listed in For Sale - Other Items, a Simpson (ex USA) single layer nomex race suit.

Be just the go for anyone wishing to compete in supersprints.

CAMS approved etc, etc, $200.00 and at least $50 going to SAU

[Ghostrider]

So any idea as to when i can pick it up, or are they gonna call me or something?

It's consigned to you c/- the depot with your phone number "I think" but I will check tomorrow to see if it's gone.

[Adam_RSX]

What size is it?

[Ghostrider]

What size is it?

Size 7, 92cm.

Go have a look at FOR SALE - Other Items for full description

[boj01]

my gauges were going to be mounted on the flat plastic section above the stereo, in front of the centre dash vents...... but I just sold them.

[Adam_RSX]

No, where on the standard guage does the needle sit?

[rsx84]

went to ROLIN imports today looking for a new ECU for the rb20 and i asked about a DR30 rear end, if they had one, the bloke said he sold one last week $1000, then he told me he has a DR30 rs half/cut !! fj20et with 117000kms all panels for the iron mask (silver) no lights though, so if anyone knows of someone looking its $2500 with the bonnet, but i'd be interested in chipping in $$$ for the front rotors and callipars to keep the cost down..

Adam-RSX - yep the stock pressure regulator is the mushroom looking thing with a vacuum line stuck in the top of it. towards the back of the engine between plenum & head. For the Malpassi, you can leave that one there and then connect the Malpassi in series and it overrides the stock one anyway, or you can remove the stock one. i removed the stock one, but the Malpassi still wont fit in the same place coz its bigger. mines over just infront of the driver side strut tower and p/s fluid reservoir on a bracket.

My turbo timer & HKS EBC are both mounted in the plastic to the left of the headunit. they came like this wen i got the car. the EVC had a black metal bracket for mounting it, and theyve used that to hold it and just screwed it into one of the holes at the bottom of the surround. then just got a bit of similar metal and made a little add-on bracket for the Turbo Timer under that. then just cut out around them in the plastic. looks pretty neat. they dont quite sit straight tho they tend to sag a little the the right since theyre only held properly via bracket on one side, but if i wasnt lazy i could easily secure them better!

Adam-RSX - When the cars turned off my oil pressure guage sits about 2mm below zero. can't remember where it sits when driving, i think around the middle or just under, but can have a better look next time i drive it if u want to know! haha

[Adam_RSX]

That halfcut is almost tempting

[stagefumer11]

well, i finialy got some pic's of my r30 while at work, she's a bit messy atm needed a cleen. but goes well

[boj01]

looks like a pretty neat RB20 install.....good stuff......where's that nasty rust situated????

[tigeryas]

Wow... nice to see DR30s still floating around, even though they might not be in Perth... i know that DR30RS is in Perth...

I wish mine was a 2 door, unluggily its a 4...

since this thread seems to still be intact, I could ask it here... what can I do with a stock DR30, FJ20-turbo engine with a mere $1k? Yes, very little bling-bling, but criticism is not what i'm after...

thanks guys

[tigeryas]

in fact, just flood-pm me with any stuff i can do, the cheaper and the more money-efficient the better...

DR30s are so hard to get info on! But it seems people know their shet here! *sigh of relief* cos I take my car around when there's problems and no one knows crap all...

Thanks again... ^^ (I think i have photos in the gallery? not even sure myself)
