COILOVERS?????

You all want to modift to use S13.

Why not make up, do the mods to your own R30 struts (front) only need to find a machine shop that will machine off the existing spring seat. The thread kit & nuts can be bought through Wideline or Noltec direct for about $400.00. If doing it this way, you can cut down the strut case to suit R31 inserts, that are about 40mm shorter, therefore the damper piston stroke doesn't alter when lowering.

Rears can be made up using R31 rear shocks, they are 32mm shorter.

1983 MR30 sedan.318000km.

any easy way to replace a inner CV boot.

As far as I know, they are NON SERVICEABLE, But! the workshop manual says it is possible, so email me on [email protected] and I will scan and send you the pages concerning this procedure.

i went with the hybrid as i got it for $600+postage brand new, i read on the powerdigger site that the hybrid 600x300x75 intercooler had "0.5psi loss at up to 40psi" and can cool around 500hps' worth of air flow. hope that helps!! had the piping made from 2 1/2" press bend mild steel for $450 installed, all up about $1100 fitted..

matt did you get the super monster? when did you get it from at that price, and is it a 'genuine' hybrid? don't know if that makes a difference just interested to know.

hmm im quite interested in the R31 strut case thing, as my front is a lil too high compared to the rear even with lowered springs, not going full coilover, just swapping them.

yep.. bar, plate and fin super monster cooler "genuine hybrid" bought it about 8 months ago on e-bay for $600 as powerdigger is the offical surplier but wanted $800 for the 600x300x75mm cooler. ended up being a place here on the gold coast that were selling them...

']the S13 rear coilovers fit up all good except they are either 2 hole at the top at the back, whereas DR30 are 3. basically u have to drill an extra hole to line up the S13 coilovers at the top. pretty simple job though. just stick one thread in an existing hole, then drill a one that matches up on the other side. i havent done this to my car but todd with DR30 on these forums has, im sure he will pipe up soon to confirm what i just said :D

i mite be interested in a shirt depending on it's design and price i guess.

Just been studying a set of S13 coilovers.

Can't see how the fronts are anything like EASY conversion.

But rears look OK, but has anyone thought of changing the tops, swapping the stock R30 top for the S13, then NO DRILLING required.

Would this work???

i actually hadnt thought of the tops to be honest.

but the rest of it would be easy enough i guess anyway doing full coilovers. i mite do that one day altho i like my susp as it is now (tho the front could be a bit lower it sits pretty flat coz matched springs from japan so its okay really)

as far as the coolers go, i would agree with nowehre for $350. theres a few group buys on forums with them around 400-450 if u get in at the right time and are willing to wait in some cases, otherwise theyre all around $600 or so that i have found for 600x300x76 Core Size bar and plate coolers. Most i see for this price tho arent genuine hybrid stamped coolers, though it makes no difference apparently they come from the same place. i had a non-stamped big Hybrid in my last car (S13) and it was great, had no problems with it at all, just didnt have Hybrid on the top of it!

i got my one through the ModYourCar.com website. they were on special for $495 + postage. not sure how much they are regularly, i think around $550 but then u need $50 or so for postage, so you guys over east (coz MYC.com perth based) probly be around $600. *shrug* or find a group buy if u can !

edit: and i dont work for them or nuthin haha i just ordered one a couple of weeks back to go in the DR thats all, so i had a hunt around forums and websites for them. though i dont use EBay so i didnt check there. just this site i got mine from was the cheapest i could find at that time ignoring group buys!

just on that, theres a guy on SilviaWa.com forums under Shop, S1x Shop, trying to organize a group buy of coolers trhough modyourcar.com, if they get 10 or more people then its $450 each for the coolers.

if theres a few of u interested mite be worth it to get one to ur door for round $500 if enough pple join it *shrug*

to replace the CV boot you need press and it looks like a big job.the boot is torn from an exhaust thats fell off.

The CV on My R31 passage are getting noisey on a long drive.

probably get replacments from a wreck .Are R180 R30 driveshafts interchangeable with EARLY R200..I had a cone type idea that allowed you to slide a boot over without pulling the shaft apart,but cant find anyone with these at the moment.

I have R30 coils and R31 struts on my R31 passage[iRS],the 5 link struts are 25 mm+ longer bush to spring seat, than the IRS.hatch and sedan are also different.

R30 is my current work car.purchased for the tyres.It has more go than the bluebird and more room but it is no ser3.Got a 910 LD20T sitting in the shed,find some R30 LD28 bits and get it running.

I have been quoted under $450.00 for cooler with core size 700 x 270 x 65.

Is the thickness all that critical, compared to the front surface area, where the air gets to it.

I believe 600 x 270 would be the perfect size for R30's, as you wouldn't have to cut the guts out of your lower spoiler to accomodate it.

i got mine from a shop here in sa 750x300x60 for 750 with end tanks where ever i wanted them. i thought i was a good deal

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
