Hi guys,

Im looking at getting into a DR30 Skyline.

I have some durability questions as i will be drifting this car at the track on a regular basis.

How strong are the gearboxes?

Are the Gearboxes replaceable with other nissan boxes?

Is the Diff an r200 and is it the same as a later model nissan diff?

What is the factory power limit of the FJ20et internals?

Are FJ20's reliable revvers?

Hopefully tommorow i will be able to post my new DR30 in this thread so you can see what im talking about.

Thanks guys

Andylaurel

and one more question

with regard to the swing arm IRS, how does this affect rear camber when the car is lowered significantly?

Is negative camber easily corrected with adjustable links?

thanks guys

For rear camber, my HR is down by at least 50mm and I only have 1.5-2 degrees negative, but SWR or Stewart Wilkins Motorsport at Mulgrave NSW can do adjustable rear trailing arms for about $800.00.

The car is fairly reliable and some good ones are for sale on here for fairly good prices if you ask.

Try hrd-dr30 for 1, his is for sale

Cheers, D

So is this going to be a new drift project Andy? Sounds good!

Another thing you may want to think about is the steering box arrangement that they run.. Although it is possible to replace with a bluebird rack.. Theres a few topics around in this forum about the conversion.

They run a 'long nose' R200 wich are getting hard to come by.. Especially aftermarket ones. But stockers are easily shimmed up.

Stock bottom end in good condition are extremely reliable. 300+ rwhp fairly safely. Intercooled versions run slightly higher comp.

Boxes are also strong- but are getting old and tend to have worn synchos alot of the time. People have used RB25/RB30 boxes on them. unsure on cost though.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
