HI ya

just a couple of quick questions for all you fellars, i have found my coolant leaking into the drivers side foot cooller??? wtf, not oil as stated before, (i decided to actually look) where could the coolant leak into the aircon hose? Should i get a mechanic?

also what sound system you guys running and security if any, as im having a look at a nice pioneer system and have been getting the run around?

dr30man i had this problem to, and it ended up being a cracked heater core, just bypassed it in the engine bay, one of the things i've got coming from japland...

stu i was the one dribbling no sense about the suspension updgrades and stuff that my mate was doing, thats all going now, it stops wickedly "apparently" as he's being a tool atm i won't see him for aibt...*****whipped wankers

Yeh theres a few ways about the -ve camber on the rear, K Mac sell offset bushes which counteract it a bit.

the best way though is what dat sport does, fully adjustable bout $5-$600 for that and its a bloody good job

Phat Mr30 what kit does datsport sell for them??? I wasn't aware that Barry did, but meh been ages since i've be down there to visit him!! Maybe try and get some adjustable camber plates and see how u go from there...Mine is staying how it is though, its good for cornering, and as im not making that much power i don't have traction issues atm

hi, how r us? neway i just thought i might add that i have a 82 MR30 with:

- 2 1/4 inch exaust manifold bak

- import 15 inch rims which i belive r off a hr31 (just wif out the centre cap) i know dis coz my best friend has those rims

- it has import rear lights which are off a dr30

its not much at the moment bak u can not forget im only 16 and i just bought the car not even 1 month ago.

my question iz can u change the air flow meter (afm) to one off a r31 engine

if not wot would be sutable coz i want to put a pod filter and the hole iz tooooooooooo ***en smalllllllll. thanx

stu-r30- with the konis they came with new tops, there is still the camber, doesn't seem as harsh as it was but i've got the trx rims on it and they sit in closer to the chasie? the front also had some neg chamber before i changed to the konis now they sit stright up and down??

PoZessedmr30-welcome, this your first car, if so great choice, with your air flow dont bother with the r31 air box its not that much bigger the the r30 one, i'd go the pod then put up a block to stop the hot air from the engine( build a box around it) so to let in air at the front, where the headlight is, even maybe spend 10 bucks on some flexie pipe to direct air to the pod from the front?

Rsx84 - i was already planning on putting on the pod filter, but my consern iz that i am not getting enough air becoz of my afm. i belive i need to change it becoz the HOLE that air flows in from the original air box goes through that of course and the actual hole iz a very small rectangular hole insteed of the much bigger circular hole like on an r31 for example

that iz wot i want 2 change, so i can get more airflow.

pozessedmr30- your running a l20e i gather, the problem is that the afm is the air box,if i remember correctly, with the r31 onwards they had an air box then a afm which you could remove by its self, someone else may know more!

rsx84- no i am not running a L20E engine i am running a L24E motor, and the afm disconnects from the airbox but it still doesnt help my cause. lol . thanx 4 trying neway. all i want to now is can i take my afm off and use an r31 afm instead and get the same performance if not beetter. i want to do dis becozz i want to put my pod filter on.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
