I was very tempted. Called to clarify overall condition.

Decided it was a waste of money for the street wich is where my focus lies atm.

Good choice :woot:

If a DR30 could ever do 260 should you be looking at the speedo anyway

IF ............................... The DR30 now owned by Cazz was clocked on radar down conrod straight at over 280kph, so why would you think another DR isn't capable of 260?????????

I think my DR in top spec & tune would be capable of something like it, if I could find a track with a straight long enough to get to it.

That aside, it would look really cool eh! Probably a bit more so than the 200kph you wanted to put into yours.

Would that be the speedo you were going to send me 2 years ago that never eventuated Dennis?

I only wanted a speedo that worked.

As usual you can't read and understand posts properly standing on your soapbox.

Who cares if a DR30 can do those speeds or not , my point was at 260kph should you really be focusing on watching your speedo.

I got the point the first time & yes it was and you were also told 2 years ago that the one I had, had a broken illuminator and you declined the offer.

Are you still looking for one, because you can have the whole cluster out of my DR for shit, I'll put it in the post tonight if you wish?

Maybe you should tell the whole truth and not just selected parts of it that make you feel good & sound like your the guru of understanding?

And when else do you get to look at any gauges but when your hurtling along a straight at whatever plus. In my hay day, it was only the straight that you had time to glance at the gauges to make sure everything was doing it's thing. This is why I have a big 50mm red light on the dash of my DR and when/if it comes on, it's foot off the loud pedal and instant shut down no matter where you are.

And who ever FOCUSES as you put it on a speedo ANYWHERE and at any time???

Cheers, D

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
