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!!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
