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!!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
