Just thought i may aswell add my name here aswell

1983 RMR30 (Hatch) Ti

still runing fine at 320000 kms so im not complaining.. I have the original workshop manual direct from nissan so if theres anything specific anyone needs from it just drop me a pm.. unfortunately it doesnt cover the FJ20 models however i do have part of it on my site in the technical section.

I dont really come on here too much so i really only check out the SA thread.. ahh i havnt had too much time to work on the site but im just making up a spec sheet at the moment.. not too sure what else i should add information wise.. but if ya have any ideas.. id love to hear em.. i could probably find most information in the manual.

with the manual you have cyrius does it cover the oz version or the jp, with your site may be some where to post dyno results on the different engines, there seems to be a few r30 owners comtimplating the rb20det transfer may be some helpful hints for that??

thats a great idea, we should get in touch with rezz from k's online garage they export things from jp to oz and my be able to get some of these things, the only thing is the cost to transport things from there to here is high, they do by kilos, i worked out one of the r30 exhausts would cost something like 300 to ship.

id love to get my hands on some of the stuff on that site.. but my wallet isn't really feeling to good yet.. so I won't b able to join in the group buy.. ahhwell.. maybe next time if you ever want to do it again.

Oh yea BTW the workshop manual covers all Australian, Hong Kong, and other delivered R30's covering the L18, L20B, L24, and L24E engines.

I don`t think there is an R30 exhaust on the K`s Online Garage site.

Actually, the Jenesis R31 Cat-back exhaust would be about A$216 to ship...

just using it as an example Rezz didnt mean to reflect on you and your own, why'll your here through, Do you do dealings with other places such as r30.co.jp, its just that i car'nt even translat the email they sent to join the club let alone begin to order stuff.

Yes mate, I deal with all their Jenesis gear, aswell as most of the R30.co.jp stuff. I say "most of" because some of the stuff is pretty expensive, and if I told you the price including freight you'd laugh at me...

it seems to be the big killer with the r30 imports, with freight i know as i recently imported something that weighted 1.1kgs and that was $54 to send.

Mmmm... I guess people should give a little more leeway for freight costs if they are after something fairly unique from Japan...

in terms of fairly unique this 260km/h dash cluster shouldnt weight more than the one i allready have should it.

Yeah, give or take a few grams...

They want 45,000-odd yen for a 260km/h speedo to buy one outright, or they charge about half that to exchange your one for one of theirs.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • 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   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • 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.
