hello to all. my son and I have a 84 mr30 5 door hatch, all electric ,power ,air, has the L24E motor but we have slight problem the motor has a flat spot just off idle, had it at a couple of mechanics !!! with no results. 1 said that on idle it has 5 % fuel but as soon as you put the foot down it drops to 0.04% fuel thus it has no response. He said it could be the air flow meter or the TPS it was neither of these, costly to find out !! the car also has a set of lukey extractors and a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with a single muffler at the rear with a 3 inch tip (has a nice note to it) just wondering if anyone could suggest a possible reason what it could be. sorry for the long post Daryl

You can make your own if you have access to, or know a machine shop that can do the work/machining.

The threaded section and 'C' nuts can be purchased from Whiteline or Noltec, in kit form for around $400.00 pair.

Rears: Have to weld the threaded section (at a pre determined position, my suggestion, place the centre of the section at theoriginal spring seat position) to the rear dampers of your choice, but if it is to be lowered, may I suggest R31 rear dampers.

Fronts: Using your own strut, the spring seat has to be machined off and the threaded section welded on (at a pre determined position, same as above) If I was doing this conversion I would also do the modification to our R30 strut to accomodate the R31 insert.

Sprimgs of your own specs can be made by any reputable spring maker.

PEDDERS, will make them for you for about $1700.00 a pair using your own front struts.

Otherwise have to try Bilstein, Tein or ????? distributors

Daryl,

TPS for sure!

It should have some adjustment to it, probably a mm or 2 each way, BUT be advised, mark it's original position with a white texta or similar, before stuffing around with it, so that you have a referrence point to work from.

Good luck

Dennis

thanks Dennis

I have tried an other TPS but by the sounds of it I will need an expert ,with fuel injection to look at it,

could any one suggest a good one on the Gold Coast

thanks again

Daryl

Daryl,

Was the other TPS, NEW!!! as if it was also second hand it could have been worn at idle position as well. Maybe you should try adjusting either or both first.

I consulted my race mechanic before I answered you and he is my resident EFI WIZZ, there isn't much he doesn't know, he is the NSW Distributor for EFI Hardware from Melbourne.

As for experts on the gold coast, PM RSX84, he is doing an RB conversion to an HR30, he might be able to point you in the right direction.

thanks Dennis

don't know about "expert" Ghostrider, but i do know of two blokes here on the coast that could help you 84skyline, this is the bloke who fitted the engine for me his name is nick and he's on the gold coast hwy, labrador just past harbour town, he's an old russian bloke who will tell you how long the part has to live before just replacing it!! his number is (5563 7012) just say matt said to call you!

hes worked on both my r30s' and the r31 as well.

doing nothing online last night found fj24 stroker pistons.......  

Yum!

i remember reading ages ago about how hard it was to find the fj24, this was in a fast fours and rotor mag something like 9-10 years ago!! very sort after let along a factory fj24! any price for the locals?

i've had to take my car to three different places here on the coast so far, going to the second last place this weekend for all piping then to the engineer, most places i'll look into here either charge a fortune or don't have a glue?? good to get another R30 fan in this corner of OZ!!

P.S. if you everwant to put a turbo on the l24e i have a l20et turbo/manifold ECU and full 2 1/2" zorst just sitting here! should be good for bolt on 6-8??psi !!

Hi

I've got a DR30 RSX coupe

Pretty much standard apart from HKS pod and exhaust, KYB Super Special dampers, 15*6.5 Watanabes

My rotors are completely chewed out, I've been quoted $550+ to replace them and the pads (sent it down for machining, but theres too much runout :()

Hey Adam!! :wavey: Whats goin on son?? Hows the car going??? Did u block that pop off valve off??? Just be warey if u did cause i've heard of the wastegates on the standard turbo's sticking open which is what the pop off valve is for and why im in no hurry to take mine off! What kinda rotors and pads were they for $550 though???

Pretty much standard I think

Yeah, blocked it off that night, but then there was another leak, only found that on Friday night... ran really well but on Saturday night I revved it a bit much and popped one of the exhaust gaskets... huge exhaust leak.... getting that fixed with the brakes atm

I took the car to Nick yesterday, He checked this and checked that and said just as much as everyone else. He said may be the coil not enough power getting through. So I have now replaced the coil, plugs, leads, rotor and dizzy cap still to no avail Nick checked the fuel pressure it was good.But I'm still at a loss to what it could be. Spoke to another bloke from Gibbs street labradore he can't look at it till end of the month, he said maybe air flow meter to buy a new one($800 holy hell !!!) Also might be interested in that turbo gear ( how much ? ) Thanks Daryl

are you using a standard afm? if so i've got a standard one and the turbo version just sitting here collecting dust, for $800 you could probibly get a r32 or r31 afm wired up??

They couldnt get the brake rotors for my car in the end :)

Crimmo, if its ok I'd love to come and have a look at how your suspension and brakes are set up, cos I'm going to have to do something similar very soon as my rotors have been skimmed to undersize so that its still driveable until I change to a rotor thats more readily available

I just live around the corner btw

Cheers

Adam

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
