mike cash- with my swap there are a few different things we used from the r32 half cut but all and all it looks very similiar. 161 rwkws thats what my stage one should be!

P.s i'm running the TRX rims as well, sprayed in a mat black, do yours rub on the sway bars?

im running falkens 205 with whiteline sway bars (a lot phatter than standard) its shocking, might practice my flick turns.

colours, if your going through the hassel of a colour change look for something different to what the starting colour was, always liked the r33 muroone colour,if i was to change the colour on mine i'd look at a deep red (blood) all over with the black rims!!

chu-rulz- with the extractors try an good exhaust shop first as they will make them for you, may be hard to find already made extractors for a l24e if not expensive,

link to see my mods, probibly put this in a 1000 times!!

What is this about running 22 psi? The R30 that i am getting is also the Paul Neuman version of the car. I don't really want to get a new engine for the car i would like to work the one that is in there at the moment. The turbo in the car isn't standard either... i'm not entirely sure what the turbo is but it is a triple hybrid from some bunch of cars. I would like to get the most out of the engine with out pulling it to pieces, mainly bolt on goodies. I was thinking along the line of an intercooler of some type, a boost controler, air filter etc... What do you know about intercoolers?

Cheers. :)

heya guys

1982 hr30 2 door import coupe.

needs front seats and a driveline asides from r200 diff

had a running l20et in it when i bought it but i binned it :rolleyes:

got a rb20de !! yes de and 5 speed going in til it gets re-regoed (been sitting for 3 years) then i shall drop in a rb20det for some fun.

its silver atm but may become yellow or r34 blue - time shall tell - paints a bit scruffy andf if its gonna cop a spray may as well be a good one :(

good to see so many people passionate about 30's here

anyhow im Tom, WA dude - student who loves cars and works for antilag.com :(

Welcome tomj-theres close to 25 people how have replyed to this thread but we lost about 3 pages of info. there are a few hr and Dr coupes now, good to see!

R30-turbo- this paul newman bloke he must have a lot of cars??? my mate is running about 1.5bar boost (22psi)?? maybe closer to 2bar?? he put a fmic on but removed it when he found he lost 6 psi boost,he uses a rebuilt turbo but the original turbo should have a metal sharft and there for with stand more boost not to say it won't run out of puff though!

hey guys,

thought i'd add to this beast of a thread, recently imported a midnight purple DR30 RS

stripped interior, bride seats, roll cage, fmic, turbo bak exhaust, mines ecu and a heap of other cool gear.

the old fj's a bit tired tho, so a rebuild is on the way!

oh and a new diff hehe

i'll post up some photos soon!

hey stu!

not sure what type diff i'm using...guessing its an r200....its bloody loud tho!

the car came with a spare diff in the boot (diff oil went everywhere), but i'm going to get both checked out.

i had a VL turbo fuel pump fitted a couple of weeks ago, the fuel tank and injecors cleaned (standard), the car ran like a dog when i picked it up.

runs fantastic now tho! on 0.9 bar it pulls twice as hard as my r32 gtst did.

also had it dynoed, power's restricted due to the ecu (running very lean) so after the fj rebuild might look at a microtech or similar.

Hey R30_Turbo nah no problem at all bro, know Paul thats all, and he's been talking about selling that thing for ages and now he finally has/is!!

Benny,did the tuning company say that there is anything left in the injectors or is it a caser of injectors and ECU are just not coping with it all?? Just asking cause im running a VG30 on my FJ now, it still isnt running but im worried the stock injectors ot being able to cope with ne more boost then standard...

benny- try a new ecu as the mines ecu is a crazy thing with its maps working with jp fuel, also welcome to the thread!! midnight purple that sounds sick waiting for pics!

tomj- looked at buying a r31 gts-x before i found the rsx, drove it twice, no power, red top rb20 and to upgrade it was out of my budget at the time, i now have a lighter more powerful car for a little over what the gts-x would have cost me!! would have bought this one though

boof_ you know paul newman, hes a bit of a racer at heart, you know he even signs his cars talk about ego!

Benny that is tough as bro!! Like the cooler peeking out da front, its tough as!!! Hope mine looks like that!!

rsx84 yeah he's a ****y bastard ay, singing all those cars, who does he think he is Peter Brock or something :)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
