Stagefumer,

Does your car have the same radiator, size & configuration?

Mine looks heaps bigger than in these pics.

Cheers, D

I suspect the radiator may be out of an aussie R30, as there is a blanking panel added to the drivers side to cover up part of the opening in the radiator supoort panel.

my radiator is a lot diffrent I have the brass Tank version. But my r30 is a 85. + done nearly 400,000k!!!!!!! :ban:

Gotta admit nice engine bay :O. And you have the early brakeboost/ master. similar to the r32 units (i have one ready to be installed )

You mean later, surely?

But I'm punting this master cylinder/booster combination for the DR one.

It's same configuration as '81/3 but has a 1" diameter master cylinder. I just had to source the front brake lines from an early model car, which I now have. As I'm going with a full on DR brake set up, front & rear. Fronts with slotted rotors and EBC pads all round.

I have 15/16 master cylinders in the later configuration if anyone is interested. 2 from memory.

actaully from what i have seen, i wouldnt take this is gosple. Acording to the system at my work late 1983 onwards master cylinders changed to the smaller style one. compared to the earlyer had the r32 style master/booster. And that the brake ballance block is external to the cylinder on the after 1983 units. Which will be a pain when i swap it over to the r32 unit.

the radiator in my HR30 was a 280C radiator.

I replaced it yesterday with a radiator out of a manual MR30, which fits the full width of the radiator support opening unlike the one in the pic above. I also had to use the manual R30 top rad hose. the overflow connector faces the wrong side of the car, but that's no biggie. I also replaced the worn alt/waterpump belt and replaced the bearing in the idler puller for the power steer. Its so quiet now!

I also have a stupid question - the amber 'headlight-looking' light in the dash is on sometimes when the lights are on. Sometimes its out, and occassionally it flickers. Is this supposed to be a charge warning light??? if so, why does it look like a damn headlight?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
