Hey,

Ive got a quick couple of questions for the tech guys here regarding DR30 front brakes.

I know that DR30 struts have 100mm caliper spacing, resulting in a nissan 4 spot caliper being used, but the hub assembly isnt like hr31 (similar to s14,s14 etc) where the disk just slides onto the wheel studs, bolt caliper back on and bobs your uncle.

DR30 is datsun style (hub bolts to disk)

How do I go about fitting or modifying the DR30 hub to accept a S series silvia disk?

Please dont say "put s13 front coilkovers and bits in" as its out of the question (dr30 struts are going into a stanza)

Now the next question, anyone fit 14" wheels over dr30 front brakes?

Cheers,

Take the disc off the back of the hub (unbolt) and machine down the diameter of the hub to suit, so that the disc hat slides over the top.

The hubs are forged steel, not cast and machine very well.

Guys!

It's all to do with the OD of the disc rotor vs space in the back of the wheel.

Your wheels need to clear the caliper, simple as that and 274mm dia DR30 rotors wont allow 14's to go on.

The stock fronts are only 250 so 14 is easy then.

Cheers, D

Stock fronts?

As in just plain mr30 strut/brake combo?

Its more the caliper size that kills the fun, I have a similar sized disk on my 1600 struts, using a bmw 4 spot.

Picked up some n/a r32 front brakes yesterday( yay 14" wheels! ) soon as the disks are back from being machined ill send the hubs off to get them modded.

Also going to do a coilover convo on em using threaded colar, will throw up some tutorial style pics as I progress.

Cheers,

Dan

      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.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
