The boost gauge aka vacuum gauge (WOFTAM) was originally, but if you want something that is of some help, PM me and I'll give you the details. If you haven't noticed, I also have a 9000 rpm tacho mounted in the cluster.

Cheers, D

Can I ask why? when the intake air has passed through an intercooler, the intake pipe from the intercooler then runs across the front of the engine & behind the header tank of the radiator before entering the throttle body. It suggests to me that the cooled air is then reheated just prior to entering the engine, so "why bother"???

Yeah that would be Phil.

Hills run sounds good, my DR should be back in action in a few weeks. :)

I didnt notice the tacho. ... would be a good excuse buying one of them just to fix my rpm tacho that has never worked. :P just sucks everything R30 is costly and has to be sent from Japan

You would not believe how hard the 260kph speedo was to get.

Firstly a Jap version 180kph speedo has to be sent over, they then convert it and send it back.

If your looking for an 8000 rpm 6 cylinder tacho, PM me, as I think I have a few laying around.

Cheers, D

Sounds like alot of work, why must R30's be so difficult ;)

If I need one I will let you know.

With the Carbon Fibre stuff, dont you have to send them the parts aswell to convert? In that case I might have to raid a wreckers for some MR30 interior parts to send over aswell.

Then I have to be a good boy and stop spending money on the DR until I get a KGC10 :P

doesnt really heat it up, not hard up against the rad but yea bit long. at the time it was the easyest way cos most of it came off my rb30e+t and was pretty close, also 600mm long cooler so wasnt room 2 make the pipe come bak 2 the l/h side.

but now with alot more room under the head lights and no gay grill there ill re do the piping so b lot less of it...

Once the R30's are in your blood you cant seem to let them go...

I have given up the GTR idea, keeping the DR30 and I am now getting a full retrim and redoing inside the boot which was one thing that always let my car down. Still havent given up the idea of also buying back my old Paul Newman to add to the collection as well if Zeb hasnt sold it yet.

I know what you mean, rule number one (and the most important rule) for getting a KGC10; The DR30 now has to stay :P .....I'm really glad I didn't sell it when I had the chance.

What are you doing with the trim the RS-X Red/Black... or something different? From the outside yours looks smick, quite surprised you are doing a re-trim... though didnt you have the "menstral red" interior?

The rear seats had faded (yes the straight red trim) and the rear quarter trims needed to be redone. I have the black/red RSX front seats (with power adjustment) now and although they are in good condition they dont perfectly match the door trims etc. I am thinking red/black with a red cloth insert and and either black leather surround or black cloth. The red and black trim design would be the same as the RSX spec but with only difference possibly the leather surround. As for the boot the trim panel behind the rear lights is crap and it is a bit messy generally. I am putting in a small sub and trimming the whole boot to match nicely. I just want the interior to be smick like the exterior. Some people might not be bothered but I am a bit anal about these things.

You might have to get on a queue for your PNV. If I had the space it would already be here, but I believe there is some interest from down south for that one.

Cheers, D

I will see what happens. I have left my offer on the table with Zeb.

I have seen some pics somewhere with a black lether sorround in an RS-X it looked pretty pimp

... I wouldnt really wouldnt call the being anal, I would be the same :D

Probably like the one I saw on yahoo japan. It looks more pimp in that photo as the red cloth insert looks more pink than red. Provided the red is right I think it will lift the look of the interior but still be in keeping with the car. Here is a job my trimmer did on a Mustang. You just have to imagine a red insert where this one is blue.

Ahh thats where I saw it! looked the right red on my computer... though knowing japs it wouldnt surprise me if they were pink :D

i've always liked this one :)

Thats mint! I like it too, though its my DR's twin .... only red :)

Why does everyone opt for canons on the rear instead of twins like the original?

Mine just happened to come with a big cannon, one day im going to go for a big twin exhuast though... not a small twin like the ones on Jenesis.

what are peoples opinions, Im starting to rethink a KGC10 GT-R mock with RB25DE and now leaning towards importing an RS-X Sedan and a R30 Station Wagon and build and RS-X wagon ... thinking it will be alot cheaper and rarer in the long run.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
