']wats the max power u can get from a stock turbo FJ? just curious.

and also wat management systems are you guys running? do u have seperate coils rather than sticking with dizzy n shit? (on FJ20s if ne1 has em!)

wolf 3D are good for the fj, they could also be able to provide a simple plug in and play system for you now, $1500+ tuning..

has anyone found info on r30s on any other forums?

There was some discussion on Skylines Downunder until the KIWI's got all funny.

Probably because it is their forum, but were out numbered by aussies, on all forum topics excluding NZ.

But absolutely nothing like this thread.

And there was a Nissan Skyline - Paul Newman sales publication on ebay the other day, that I think I beat crimmo to. By the sounds of the advert, it may have some interesting info in it that I will post.

Things like "wind tunnel tests" etc, on all 1983 > R30 models including DR's & HR2000GT ES & 4 dr's & Hatch 2000GT E etc.

1.  Mobil 75W/90 full synthetic is the oil. It performs as well as Royal Purple, Penrite, Castrol etc and is readily available for top up when necessary.

2.  My R200 4.1:1 is a mechanical CUSCO centre LSD with 80 odd lb preload and I have a Nissan 3.9:1 as a spare.

3.  No! the car is not on the road at present, but as soon as it is I'm heading your way sort of, got to see a mate on The Gold Coast.

1.Sounds good.

2.Good to know,as I'm sure the R32> R200's with the viscous lsd wouldn't need the same spec oil as the early mech R200's.I've ben wanting to confirm a good mech lsd oil with someone who actually has one,not a sales person who thinks an HR31 coupe is a fancy Pintara.

3.Any estimates on when it will be? You'll have to stop over in Port Macquarie on your way...you know,stop,revive,survive.....and so I can check out the '30! :cheers:

I had an EMS QI-4 fuel and ignition ecu running mine.Used the stock FJ dizzy.The EMS was good,could work with several factory pick-up systems.

I'd like to go multi-coil in the future though...

Only problem with the wolf that i know of with the FJ dizzy is u have to get it modified...Bit of hassle for someone like me in SA where if i get defected then i have to try to find a standard FJ dizzy...I am considering going for the EMS 8860 seems like a good piece of equiopment!!

Ghostrider i beleive that u might've beaten Crimmo to that, i was talkin to him last week and he was telling me about that book seems like its quite a handy piece of gear to aquire!!

Yeah the 8860 sound as good as a Motec on paper,and you couldn't complain at $1600.....

If you try getting in touch with EFI Hardware www.efihardware.com they have a programmable ECU (HAWK) and has been working on plug & play systems.

The Hawk has had some pretty good reviews from Zoom when they last did a comparison.

Cost is only $1300.00 or there abouts, but don't know if anyone does them in Adelaide. They seem to be Haltec mad in Adelaide.

Wolf do the V4 Plug & Play ECU which is $1395 for the ECU itself then install and tuning take it to around $2200 ready to drive away. but then i think u have the cost of the multi coil setup added to that so it could get pretty expensive :D

but todd off these forums with white dr30 here in perth is happy with his he is running Wolf V4 with multi coils and making 360 odd rwhp quite happily!

i was hoping for a cheaper sortof alternative like microtech or something is all. wondering if anyone has gone that way. i only earn 200 a week doing nightfill so was hopin there mite be a cheaper one that'd do the trick! that EMS 8860 i guess is $1600 just for the ECU, then tuning install etc would run it out a few hundreed more expensive that the Wolf V4 p&p i guess.

ah well i dont have 2k+ for an ECU atm neway, but i guess it seems Wolf V4 is gona be the way to go in the end :) :) better hope santa brings me a big wad of cash this year haha

Yeah the 8860 sound as good as a Motec on paper,and you couldn't complain at $1600.....

Yeah thats what i rekon to!! My mate is currently having it setup on his series 4 and its a pretty wild motor in there so once thats all done then i shall decide, but so far im impressed with it all! :aroused:

Ghostrider : not everyone in adelaide is haltech mad, but the majority of people here are..If not then like PFC al depends on who u go to really, so many people deal with the same ecu's so its not like deepnds on the workshop u goto depends what ecu u use cause most of them will use 99% of ecu's available

.75 degrees sideways, just bought a r31 with an rb20det in it running a older wolf3D, version 3 i think, the bloke who had it before didn't know that there is a locking system that requires a pin number to start the car if active. my mate went to change the pin and the car wont start!!! had to sent the computer to sydney to get it changed to the new pin so it will work...poor bastart had the car for 24 hours then its been sitting there for the last 48 unable to be driven!

oh my mate ran a microtech DIGI 1 (or was that 2??) on his FJ20.

you can pickup alot of stuff second had cheap and on ebay and stuff, i know a few guys that have been doing so recently.

what ecu's out there are able to run in closed loop? i know my microtech doesn't :(

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
