got the piping done, was very happy with the end result, they even moved the pod filter to a better spot to take full avantage of the larger whole for the pipes in the wheel arch!

its a mix of mild steel and alumimun, mostly 2.5" with a bit of 3" for the afm and pod filter!!

Crimmo: was specking to ghostrider and he said you are looking to get a r200 diff, are you looking to get one with the rear dr brakes and calipers attached and use them as i'd be interested in chipping in with you if you didn't need the brakes??

Hi Guys,

We have had an in length discussion on brakes on another post, all the time some getting rather confused and heated at the same time.

We discussed effectiveness on different sizes and set ups, comparitive solutions, best or worst, recommended or not.

Rear brake rotor diameters, better than others etc, etc, etc.

I was all but crucified for my sticking to the fact that our DR30 rears were more than adequate, for almost all conditions. With upgrades like slotted rotors and EBC pad compounds, they would be better than most even under race conditions & chasing through the Brisbane Hills area, my contention being the leaverage of the 290 diameter rotor and the best part, THEY WERE/ARE SIMPLE BOLT ON UPGRADES.

I used to drive an MX73 Cressida & now have an MX83. Bigger, heavier, more powerful etc, etc.

The MX73 had 248 x 22 ventilated fronts & 269 x 18 ventilated rear.

The MX83 has 256 x 22 ventilated fronts & 272 x 10 SOLID rear.

GO FIGURE????????

Hi Guys,

Anyone wishing to convert their STOCK MR30 shifter into a short shifter, let me know.

And it's not making it shorter in length, it's making the throw in the gearbox about 20mm shorter, similar to the Nismo RB short shifter, but the cost is ZERO.

The modification I speak of, is for the STOCK AS A ROCK R30 shift lever, used on L series engines. Not RB conversions, for these the mod is a new shifter @ about $200/300.00

After modification the length of the throw physically shortens by about 20mm.

Does not work or affect R32/33 shift levers. AND

rsx84,

the shifter you are looking at does shorten the stroke/throw by about 20mm also.

Hey, i have an 1984 Paul Newman HR30 and i'm having some problems with my diff. Do the HR's have standard LSD? i bought it off a guy who told me it had an RT200 or something and the other day i was trying to cut some circles in a car park and it just wouldn't light up properly. i took it to my friends place and we put it up on axle stands and only one of the wheels was turning. i've been lead to believe that this means it is an open wheeler... is this correct? If it is standard LSD where can i get one?

Cheers

Yeah Sam, if it spins only one, or spins one one way and the other one the other way, its an open wheeler. Mine spins both the same way, and I've also gone to the trouble of checking that it works properly in real world conditions :lol

I thought HR's had a LSD as standard though.... so maybe yours is just shagged

Actually... having seen Paul driving it before, I know it had a working LSD a year and a bit ago

Sam,

If you went back through this post I think you would find referrence to your problem, as I have addressed it before.

The Paul Newman comes standard with a 3.9:1 R200 LSD, the problem is, Nissan used it as a marketing ploy, rather than a performance factor.

Your R200 LSD is working as an open diff, primarily because the preload in the diff is to low, it's stock at 15/20lb which is far to low, hence it's tendancy to only spin one wheel.

You have to take it to a Diff specialist, or I can enquire from my man here in Sydney if there is anywhere in SA that he can recommend, but for street use, the pre load has to come up to about 50lb and for track, 70/80lb.

It's going to cost you about $400/500.00 for this modification.

Hope this helps.

Yeh! Well it seems he has a problem, although it is extremely rare, that an R200 breaks. It is considered after all to be the IRS equivalent to a 9 inch.

The crown & pinion can go, but not usually the LSD centre.

And L20ET is rated at 108Kw (145hp) engine power.

And the Paul Newman definitely doesnt have the 200hp some people have been quoting, its much nearer the 145 of the standard L20ET

that would have been me talking adout my mates and that figure is ture for his and is also at the fly as stated?? something for you to think about ha!!

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
