Sorry Guys, As I am in NSW I can only give their regs, but as a thought, maybe speak to the guys at Jaustech or Japanese Motorsport.

As they are into modified cars, Jaustech in particular doe a few R30's, they might be more up to speed.

Good luck,

Dennis

I bought a GT30 turbo,turbosmart wastegate,s/hand mazda injectors,hybrid intercooler and Wolf ecu.Thats it.

Standard manifolds,head,cams,throttle body...all stock.It runs 18psi boost and BP98 fuel and is a rocket!

I cant wait to fit my Tomei 272 cams and put 25psi into it!

If thats all i have to do than im off to the wreckers to look for an fj20det, should of done it earlier.

What colour is your R30 Mike???  Its not Nissankings old R30 is it??  I've sen that thing getting round heaps lately, still looking tough as :)

nah i dont think it was, mine is the blue/silver color but at the moment it has alot of base coat on it as its almost ready for the resray...

hey guys, got an update. i put r31 shocks in the rear and new r30 ones in the front, and lowerd it on corbra's springs. not superlows just low. and well the front didnt even change at all hight. 10mm max!. even knowing these springs are rated to 20-30mm :P. and do i overcome the fact i only have 7cm of travel in my shocks.?

im confused

Ive got the same trouble.I converted my R30 struts to a height adjustible coilover setup and found when i lowered it to where i wanted it i would lose all my shock travel.(so now its jacked up like a landcruiser).

But i went to the susp shop for advice and he said he will replace the top mount(thick rubber housing the bearing) with a thin metal plate(my understanding) that will allow me to lower it and keep the travel. :looney:

Hey!!! Didn't anybody read my earlier post on lowering, #351?????

Due to the lack of travel in the damper, to lower an R30 front and rear, it is necessary to use R31 Strut inserts because they have a 42mm shorter travel and R31 rear shocks have a 32mm shorter travel in the damper.

But if you use good springs, like I have 250 lb/in front & 200 lb/in rear the travel nearly is obliterated, the springs hardly move.

My Hr30 has JIC coilovers from Japan and are physically 50mm shorter than the corresponding front or rear strut / shock assembly and the fronts have camber tops on them.

Hey guys, i have an MR30 sedan, currently installing an RB20DET, looks like a nighmare to wire up, apparently the g/box mounts should bolt up... Its bolted in, but still not wired up.

I ve painted the car in 2pak, gold and put R33 disks and 4 piston calipers on front, std rear disks, adj. coilovers, fibreglass front bar, strut brace, nolathane bushes, series 1 dr30 tail lights, 16x8 watanabe's (no rubbing problems running 245/45/16), bolton 20mm spacers and a few other things. Im sure i'll run into some problems while hooking up the RB20 tho

dr30turbo - if you get 2 front struts with your HR30 from paul, they will bolt in no worries, i bought the koni shocks brand new and the springs are heavy duty pedders, all came out of my car when i converted to big brakes and coilovers, they handle very well.

Hey, Crimmo about those konies... are they red or yellow? i got those off paul but like a day after paul gave them to me they leaked oil on the ground. i wasn't sure weather to put them in or not it seemed a bit dodgey. i don't know what to do i mean are they sealed or could i get more fluid for them or something.

Hey R30_Turbo, the leak is nothing to worry about, the koni insert slides into the strut case, and the koni insert itself is sealed and thats not what is leaking, all struts have a small amount of oil in the bottom of them to lubricate the shock absober insert, they are adjustable koni red's 'special' :)

Try to leave them sitting upright and they wont leak. The sleave that screws into the top may need tightening, by when they are in the car they never leak, unless you roll the car! :D

hey guys can u get aftermarket pulleys for FJ20ET's? the main crank pulley on mine i think is ok but the other 2 behind for alternator and a/c move up and down on the crank shaft heaps more than they should.

is there any like aftermarket pulleys of some sort you can get? or better to replace with originals? (ne1 got any spare? haha)

Hey Stu,

have you wired up your RB20 yet. I sat down last night and tried to figure out the RB25. and i came to a conclusion. i know nothing about EFI cars. for example what does an ECCS relay do. question is are you doing yours yourself or are you using a conversion shop. :Bang:

got it all wired up bar the rpm...

my dad knows whats goin on so hes helping me (read : doing most of it) to wire it up

what do u need to know about the 25 i may be of assistance....or hinderance.

what has everyone done in respect to cooler piping?? i mean if your using a f*ck off big frontmont then are u running the "cooler to TB" pipe over the radiator or under?

if u get what i mean? maybe not.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
