Hi all. I have only just joined today and I hope this post is where it should be...

If not, sorry and I'm sure someone will set me straight.

My names Rob and I have just bought my son an MR30 sedan to do motorsport stuff in.

I have a rally 240Z and was attracted to the Skyline cos I sort of understand Dattos and the Skyline was cheap and I could just stick a 2.8 280ZX motor in it..

We have run it once at a club khanacross but the shocks are ...well, not very functional ....

Does anyone know where I can get some cheap shocks ?

Are they an orphan type that arent like R31s at all...?

Can I fit some out of something else?

It is a cheap car $500.00 and I haven't got the funds to source Bilsteins or Konis and really for what we are using the car for at the moment.. some gas shocks would be fine....

Hoping someone can help here....and thanks for having me..

Hi,

There's also R30 discussion over in the 'Classic Skylines' section : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cl...ylines-f77.html

(and some R30 khanacross discussion as well, see recent posts by 'Daewoo')

cheers,

JH

Thanks for that. I know Daewoo... We rallied together both in his 1600 and my Zed......I'll check it out.

For what you want, I reckon some Pedders shocks would suffice. Or you could go up a grade and get some KYB or Tockico shocks. Not as good as Bilsteins / Konis, but not as expensive either! And Pedders will be able to do HD springs as well.

Thanks everyone. That is the info I need. I will contact them re shocks. I had heard that the rears were the same as R31's but when i looked up a Monroe catalogue, they had different part numbers.

Anyway thanks again...

better get some pics of our khahnacross weapon up here eh?

The R31 rear shocks have a 20mm shorter stroke, which is great for us tarmac terrorists with lowered cars, but for your dirt works, I would get the originals if still available. Koni & Bilstein no longer make the standard R30 configuration rear shock.

Cheers, D

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
