here's the thing, i'm looking to a new project in the very near future and i have a big choice that i can't make a decision on,

i want a coupe to drive as a daily, i have the HR30 sitting here with only minor things to finish to get it on the road but i drive an r31 GXE with an rb25det in it and love the rb25det, i'm a huge r31 fan and love the club meetings/ cruises....

Do i go the rb25det conversion to the HR30 or sell the GXE buy a HR31 and convert that?

keep the r30... much better platform to work with, More classic styles, and lighter chassie :)

I like both ideas,

it would be easier to do the HR31... but

how many R30 monsters are out there? it would be an absolute weapon.

compliance/engineers would take a bit though...

i would buy the gear out of your R30( what you got exactly?) and put it in mine, :) and you could use the cash for the RB25 conversion!

go the HR30 RB25DET it will turn alot more heads than a HR31 HR30's are twise as rare as the HR31's and just for the record im not baging R31's i love them just as much as R30's

Weapon ???????????

Can't use anymore than about 350HP but an RB will do it a bit easier than my L series.

One day I might throw down the gauntlet and find out lol

brakes are easy to upgrade without dr30 struts. Just use Hilux 4pot calipers, wtih 280z hubs. And a rotor to match. Im in the middle of doing this myself :wub:

i already have s-13 coilovers with r32 4pots and matching redrilled rotors on the HR30... :wub:

if i needed to upgrade i'd find a set of HR31 struts and work with those...

if i did go the HR30 way i'd have the speck to an engineer first about the body to see if strengthing and mods for the rb25 box to fit would be required, thier my only concerns with the HR30...

the other plus is that i'd have a very healthy budget to work with if i used the HR30, on top of this i could sell the GXE and i don't have to buy a project car....

Ok, plains are as follows.....

rb25det with matching manual conversion, r33 or r34 depending on halfcut costs....

DR30 rear end rotor to rotor....

New LSD....

5stud conversion....

New rims......HUSH HUSH on these......

new coilovers...

brake upgrade....

custom FMIC set up....

full 3" stainless exhaust....

new fuel system.....

a bunch of bolt ons and plugs ins......

interior dress up/ re-trim...

should be a real head turner as well....

i'm hoping a 6 month turn around from what it is now to something special......

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
