With THIS diff cover, would the standard R180 moustache bar be of any use?

Also with the diff cover gaskets, are they readily available in oz? For memory last time i went to repco and bursons they were useless, had to buy gasket paper and make my own..

Ive always used gasketgoo for diff covers...i also tried nissan and they couldn't get anything.

So your putting an r200 diff into your mr30? With 1600's you can run an r180 with the standard r160 mustache bar. But if you want to go r200 you need a custom one because they are much larger. So in an mr30 you would probally have to use a dr30 one.

if you can do that it would be great. What did it used to support an r200 or an r180?

that diff must have been stuck on real good! That spark must have killed!! At least you didnt get your eye..

It was a stock R180, but the R200 bar is not so much the spacing between the bolts but the extra bend in the it to compensate for the larger diameter of the crown wheel.

If your thinking of using a finned cover like gets on ebay, then an all new bar has to be made because the spacings are further apart as well as the extra bends.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
