well...

Once mine is built, running and tested... so its proven to be a winner

I was contemplating ordering in a few kits (Megasquirt II version 3PCB) , then building them and loading the tune my L24et will have (have access to dyno and wideband etc)

the MS will then be able to be bought by fellow R30 luvers.... and edited to suit their individual setups

I can get 5 kits for a reasonable price

they take 8 to 12hrs (per ecu) soldering and testing on a stimulator board, (60hrs)

then a weekend tuning, (16 hrs)

week of testing, (1 hr a day = 5 hrs) (1 hr of driving around per ECU)

then another weekend of final tuning and documentation for L series specific installation (16 hrs)

All up it would take about 97 hrs of my spare time to get 5 together

would look at $500 per ECU, completly tested, tuned, installation instructions.

add another $100 for complete plug in loom...

If this was to be done in my spare time it would take quite a while to do, but I am willing to take a week or so off work for the final production run

Im thinking its pretty reasonable... if i was offered the same deal i would order one thats for sure!

i was also wanting the afm, cas, dizzy as part of a whole kit too....

more of a bolt it all in plug it in and woohoo...to some extent anyway.

but the ecu is a good start!

what i find in these build ups is lack of a final tally of parts used, kinda like an epilogue to the whole build-up.

no one wants to go back and read all those pages and work out again what worked and what didn't. (and some build-ups are looong)

once this is up 'n' running a short vid would be cool too :)

but yeah ECU is a good price!!

would be very similar.. but i was going to make it for the ECCS style setup not the bosch L-jet type

so it would be for the chopper wheel/CAS in dizzy type thing

but in looking at your schematicws, looks easy enough to have it setup for the standard L24e dissy too!

Its all just an idea at the minute... gotta make my own before getting orders etc!

I got so damn much on these days...

Once I get it up and running, I will be bolting this on

and running EDIS,

and once I sort all that out, I'll bolt this on

heheh!!

good stuff!

i know that would of been hard to come by in tassie!

please run a cooler toough....please!

theres a tassie datsun forum with 'SCANDO' from hybrid z etc as aregular menber... hes running a hot L28 powered 260z... may be worth signing up to go see him at a baskerville track day sometime

im coming to hobart at the end of the month for a camping trip, if you need anything from vic let me know...

i got spares galore!

USPS is my new friend, but it cost more to get the parts here than what it costs to buy them, (Turbo Manfold, J-Pipe - I will run a intercooler later, EDIS setup).

I'm still chasing a AFM connector (on the AFM itself), I have a quote for $120 for a AFM, but I can't see spending that much, just to chop it up for the connector.

ok well i will make sure i get one before i leave....

i DID have one, but it got butchered to go in my mates R31, is 1 pin too short to make a reliable connection back to a R30 afm

there are a few 280zx and R30 near me... i'll go hava looksee

It looks like one from a RB30 will fit, well after hacking it with a hack saw and a rasp,

thats the way!

did the very same thing myself, even if it is a bit 'Gagebrook' spec...

So you still need anythign?

No, I think i should be good, just need the time to do it,

my problem is that this is my daily drive, so I need to keep it running so I can get to work..

Before I sent the RMR30 to Skyline heaven I tried fitting the split rear seats in an MR30. No go. everything is different from the front of the rear seat to the rear of the platform.

Maybe you both follow the wrong career paths, just maybe you should be chief designers for the BULLSHIT Car Company, because, according to the Nissan parts list for R30 Skylines there is only ONE (1) part number for the front and rear 4 door floor assemblies. Front is 74300-19551 and rear 74514-01L00.

However, there is a different part number for the GT coupe floors, along with South Africa 4 door supply.

To my knowledge the tunnel size for auto vs manual in MR30 is a myth.

As for my old friend 66yostagea and fitting the split fold rear seat to his MR30 Ozzy sedan, it's all the add ons that make it near to impossible to fit. My imported coupe has split fold rear seat, as do the imported sedans, it's just the ozzy & cheapo's that came with a fixed rear seat and therefore making mods near to impossible.

ha! good call..

all i no is my mate had a Ti r30 auto and went manual, and he had troble wit the gearbox x member, suppose there was no chance of the holes for the member to meet up. every else was same. he figured it out in end , (custom crossmember) but like they all say "nothing bolts straight in"

for sure....

im a bit worried now!

I have all the gear to do a manual conversion, except the gearbox (well its 30km away still in a car)

UPDATE....

on the weekend i put in a (25mm)R31 front sway bar in. it does bolt straigt in, no modifications.

it also DOES make a BIG difference.

In heavy/tight cornering ther isnt as much body roll as before, and also heavy brakign around corners is alot more predictable.

handles great. i luv it.

Have some R31 rear struts to go in soon, just need the time

And got all the bits to make a rear strut brace, was a prototype fo a 2 door HR31 GTX, now needing a few bolts and she's done...

ALSO

did the 'tighten the AFM sprin to lean out the mixtures' trick.

FARK ME it makes a huge difference, i was running rich as buggery before, i guess as over 25 years the spring tension has dropped a bit.so after tightenin it up about 3 clicks now the ol girl can brake traction in the dry... no joke.

having fun...

scored a L28et loom of fleabay, still to finalise the transaction as im after a few other bits too...

Boosting will havta wait a bit.... bootcamp in 1 month!

LAstly, got a HR31 Passage GT front grill, trimmed it sligtly on the mounting tabs at the back, but fits near perfectly.... scary actually how well it goes on!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
