Well I figure its about time I did a little update on the R30 I brought 6months or so back.

Im not posting any photos yet as I want to do a before and after piece.

however I have since getting it done the following..

-stripped and replaced the interior and fitted recaro seats

-added gauges oil,water,volts

-fitted blitz SBC ID 2 boost controller

-facelift front, all but the bonnet

-fitted 17” original goods wheels

-exhaust changed 3’ right through

-new intake and filter

-stripped all sound deadening all 32.3kgs worth!

-fitted genuine mirrors

-fitted R32 brakes (still figuring out the best option for tie rods)

-s13 coilovers front

-r33 coilovers rear

-10mm rear wheel spacers (when you see pics you will understand)

-standard side skirts fitted

-two tone paint

Also on the weekend I did a dyno day just thought id see how she was going..

Now the engine is 2.2ltr has forged pistons a full metal head gasket plus a Vg30 turbo with large intercooler a bosch 650hp fuel pump and a mines computer it has standard injectors..

It made 171.5rwkw@ 14.3 psi but was starting to lean so it could not run higher than that the tuner said with bigger injectors it would easily go way past there saying it felt very strong..

How ever im happy with this power for now it wont put the power to the road until 3rd anyway and am running 235s!

How big you want the injectors Marc?

I have a NEW set of 570cc Siemens Deka injectors I probably wont be using, but need a 14mm O'ring fuel rail to fit them.

Also 6 x 460cc S2 RX7 and connector plugs to suit that you can have real cheap.

Your stock injectors are 375cc.

"a full metal head gasket"

Your gunna be sooooorrry!

Where is your safety valve, for when you detonate for lean out, or a bad dose of fuel, or whatever?

what who when where? lol gasket was prefitted i didnt put it on the car it seems fine i think ill be fine..

im not sure about injectors at this point ill probably just get 510cc mitsubishi ones but not sure just yet it all depends on if i want to go further with it which at this point i dont.

iv got the car weighing 1073kgs with me in it so that plus 171kw its very quick imo..

as for pics they will come but i want to finish it first so i can do before and after

AAAAAH this car!! I know it well...Randy from Nissco (in Halbert St Bayswater) built it with his son Vincent (orig owner a few years back)

They commented that it was one of the only FJ's they had to chain down on the dyno as it kept trying to jump off the rollers! Came on boost VERY hard.

WOW this looks so much better too... what did you use for the lower half paint? details???

I really like the rims, they look like what was going around in 1984. What $$$ you chasing?

Get it finished for the Skyline Nationals too, only a few months to go. September.

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
