Me too! They look fat with the deep dish rims hey. :aroused:

[[ant]]

nah ill stick with my classic red n black hey but that silver one is nice!! all u need is that front spoiler, those wheels, and coilovers to make it look awesome as that regardless of colour. sucks how its difficult to really dump DR's

yeah headlights suck on the DR hey im always using mainbeams on everything but main roads

[Adam_RSX]

Nah, they look good in any colour but white Which mine unfortunately is. Every other colour looks ok, but white makes the front look strange. The wrong angle can make the Tekamon front look weird in any colour though... In the latest HPI I don't think any of the pictures of the 4 door RSX look flattering at all. The 4wd rideheight and the completely undished wheels dont help though

Hey where can i get a bar and plate Hybrid Super Monster from for around $3/400, someone mentioned before they could get them cheap.

thats how my RS8's look or sit? there 15x7 offset +15 at the front and 15x7.5 offset +21 at the rear for reference and thats what they look like when on, fill up the guards to with-in a mm of rubbing :wassup: once the r30 is on the road i'm selling the r31 i have at the moment and getting a set of brand new Rays engineering GT-N 17's painted in black with the crome outsides.. been specking to a bloke who's working on 8's at the front and 9's for the rear which might mean i'll need some of those flares just for good measure!

i'm going to respray the top half of mine as theses quite a few scratches in the paint but the bottom half (black) is perfect..

stupid question: are you running an FJ in the r31?? or did you take it along for the hell of it?LOL

i've seen the real hybrid coolers for $450 ebay or you could get a copy for $3/400, mine was $600 about a year ago 600x300x75mm.

picked up a copy today of that issue, get this its a gold coast car and i've seen it twice on the road but i quess he's not on here, i'll keep my eye out and the next time i see it i'll try to speck to him! your right not the most beastie looking example but i think he's spent a bit on the engine instead i think he raced at the Qld fast fours jamboree, on the sunday when i was there 13 something i think from memory as the bikini comp was on at the same time. ME BAD....

[boj01]

My car had bad rust in LHF so that is getting fixed and while its in it is getting majority of the bodywork mickey whisker. There was a few deeper scratches in the paint, and a small dent down the bottom of the LHR 1/4. I think that happened on its way over from Japan.

I agree that the DR30 looks best in silver and black, a really good contrast!

As for Anthony's R31, its the NICS RB20DET engine, but he's converting it to FJ20 power! I think you've got forgies, ECU and turbo also going on it don't you???

[rsx84]

I have posted my thoughts on the thread so! now I just wait and see what response I get.

BUT!!!! it seems they are experiencing heaps of trouble with idle etc, maybe it's due to the profile shape as the primary difference between solid & hydraulic lifter cams.

Anyway, why pay $300+ for second hand GTR when $850 gets you BRAND NEW anything you want.

If you do go down that track, you got a g'teed deal sale on your RB20DET cams, cause I will take them.

they seem to be having problems with ECU when i do the swap i'll ether be using a new plug in wolf ecu or a rechipped ecu, i'll work in this order get all work done at the one shop or get the turbo, cams and adj gears installed then the ECU worked and tuned in a hope to keep the dyno time down, its the idle that seems to be the problem so if i was able to play with these settings then that should be able to get around the idle problem.

Nothing wrong with white, just not ALL white.

I think mine looks cool, white/silver.

And now considering scrapping RB conversion for L31, to keep more in phase with originality. Top end HP might not be as big, but torque would be similar and 300rwhp still might be achievable.

Someone that could remark an L28 block to my L20 engine number would be interesting, no need for engineering or emissions testing then and a nice little sleeper.

colour wise i'm still a fan of the red/black and if i was to change it would be a deeper red for the top half...m2c

[0HR-30T]

stupid question: are you running an FJ in the r31?? or did you take it along for the hell of it?LOL

Yeah,it was a cruise for FJ20 enthuisests,so I went along in the HR31 anyway!

It's an ECCS red top,but that's not important,as it sucks anyway.

Yes,my FJ20 will soon be living in the HR31.Dare I say it,I think I'll have the best of both worlds

The FJ already has Wiseco forgies,big Garrett ball bearing turbo,EMS QI-4 ecu, etc,etc....

When my original project car was the RED 4 door hatch, my choice of colours was going to be U12 Pintara Ti colour scheme, Cabernet/Stormy Glow.

In laymans terminology, Burgundy/Silver, but Red/Silver would look cool as well. Have seen R31's in that scheme.

Matt,

Before you go to the GTR cams, get yours measured, because if your engine came out of a Cefiro or Laurel, it could have 248 degree cams and the change would give you SFA, in fact you could experience a loss with GTR's.

If your going to get a new re programmable ECU, why not just get a set of 254's and be done with it.

mine is a 92' r32 silvertop rb20det still got the front of the car it came out off

if your talking $850 plus $400 for new cam gears then fitting i'd be better off getting my hands on a hks 2530 turbo and blue tacing that on :ghost: but these a process with every thing each of us do!

[[ant]]

yas - u crazy mofo thats not a DR30, JINMAN is an import 2dr HR31. it was for sale for a while for 13k but hes keeping and rebuilding the RB20DET in it now. seen it on a few cruises.

hey man u wanna buy my cooler!? getting my big one installed tomorow and get car back thursday.

edit: an coz ur like the only dude with an FJ20 in perth its easy to sell it all to you and make good use of it, give u cooler, piping and BOV all for $150. beter than having it sitting round my place!

[tigeryas]

HR31? Woops, my bad... 13k!? Phoarrrr...damn... mine's loose change compared to $13k...

$150!?!?! are you serious!? dayam! Pencil me in hey, once I get this tax return sorted out and get the bling-bling then i'll get down to modding the FJ.

My friend went to hong kong today and he won't be back for 2 weeks, he says he wants to do the POD air filter thingy for me. But i also gotta do that muffler thing too... So many upgrades! *pant pant*
