Yeah I do actually, but I might have sourced one in Melbourne for him.

Steve, call me on 0406 142 529

Dennis

Thanks for your help Dennis. I am going to get the one from Yahoo (the second one you told me about).

Cheers

  • 4 weeks later...

Thanks for the help guys. The mighty DR30 is now back in my safe hands and is good as new.

You can get the parts through Nissan Australia (I got both a fan switch for $170 and the rear window for $500) but obviously it takes a couple of weeks to ship from Japan. I am very impressed at how well Nissan supports parts for imports. My mechanic took care of all the running around.

My matching front seat arrived from Slidewize and I got that put in, got the aircon regassed (also replaced the seals as it was set up for the old R12 gas) and put in a new iPod Alpine deck. Looking forward to getting out in summer and doing some cruising with the kids (they love the car).

My god, I got the lot for less than half this, both windows, actuators, motors and all for under AU$250 landed. Sorry Steve, but I would never have expected you to replace it with NEW and I couldn't find anything even close to the condition of the ones I got, so I wasn't prepared to let it go.

As for the switch, what fan switch are we talking about that cost you $170.00?

And where did your mechanic go to get Nissan Australia to help, because I went to Macarthur Nissan on a couple of parts today and got zero response.

Cheers, D

"and put in a new iPod Alpine deck. "

Ever think this might be why it got broken into in the first place?????

It's my belief, the flashier the stereo in a car the more some other prick will want it and when they do, they don't give a damn about what they damage to get it.

My PNV has a post mount Beltek radio/cassette in the dash, connected to a Kenwood Equaliser, to Front, Rear & Sub amps driving the speakers and subs with a Kenwood 10 stacker in the boot hooked up through FM modulation, but in the dash and visible to Mr Arsehole looking in, it's OLD SCHOOL and they're not interested.

It is very plain looking and I now remove the faceplate. I see your point but the car is now secure.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
