Hey guys, I thought I'd add to this thread...

I've personally driven benny's purple DR30 beast many times and can vouch for the performance, FJs are awesome!! On 0.9bar It pulls harder then.......

*ahem* well, lets just say it pulls bloody hard! It'll be even better once he shuts that damned diff up!! (sounds like its about to spit out the crown gear!:) )

It looks even better in the flesh too, the depth of the purple is hard to capture on camera.

Twice as fast as your old R32 benny? Perhaps...Is it twice as fast as mine though? Naaahh!! Quicker definitely, but we shall see! :(

cya!

benny- thats sweet mate, very peeved though, looks like you've got the rims i have, well 3 and a half of anyway, thats the anoying thing they look brillant fit under the gards so well, can't find a replacement anywhere and they carnt be fixed!! looks brillant though the colour is great, makes me think of changing mine from the red and black to one colour!

does the link in post 156 work as it works for me??

two very nice examples of old school skyline style, byring a teer to my eye seeing them!!

hey guys thanks for the feedback!

Boof: not sure about the injectors, but i can't run it over about 1.0 bar boost, so the injectors are probly at their limit. Also i was told the afm on the fj's are extremely restrictive so engine management with map sensor, definately the way to go!

rsx84, are your rims SSR's? mine say ssr on the valve caps. btw the linked workd fine for me.

Any of u import 2door guys have any trouble getting ur cars to meet adr's and rwc's etc?

btw, the rear quarter windows in my car can be wound down!?.thought that was cool hehe

benny- no dude mine are Hayashi racing multi spoke, may be just a simaliar style then, you've still got four of them though!! have looked at r30 club web site at the half cages and centre floor bars, with the fifteen year rule not to many hassels, but half of us are looking at or finishing rb20 transplants.did you import it or buy it over here, looks very much like full import to me!

rsx84- apart from the fmic and turbo back 3 inch exhaust, it has a Trust oil cooler, boost relief valve, hks pod filter, greddy profec ebc and the guys at the workshop think it might have a have a high flowed turbo.

Also the dash is cluttered with 5 aftermarket guages, shift light and a speed meter.

btw, u had your car dynoed?..any mods to the rb?

benny-nice, sounds like money well spent, are there any other things out of the ordinary, you know brakes, suspention and fuel system it would be nice to know if the japanese boys know any little tricks to the r30??

DR30RS-nice run what came second? yet another person with similar rims!! oh well you lucky bastards..

i was thinking on what info we lost and through most of it was on brakes and struts so if you have any throughs or have done something alone these lines post it as it all helps someone!!

Cheers

yeah have a look at this thread as there are all the old brochures, slightly cheaper!!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ight=school+r31

you can go into each brochure and see each page, it seems to be mostly in japanese though!

rsx84- as far as i know, the brakes are standard...it has lowered springs all round with what looks like standard front shocks, this makes the front end mega stiff...also has cusco adjustable strut tops....the rear shocks are bilsteins, which makes the rear end a little more aussie road friendly hehe

DR30RS- nice figure!...ur fj been rebuilt?....what turbo are u using if u don't mind me asking?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
