hm well you guys probably dont care too much but success! my dr30 is working again A-Ok after that little electrical scare. Malpassi rising rate is in set for 34psi idle pressure, running 1bar boost, and it goes well. seems to not be working as hard, i guess its probably just lost a bit of edge coz its running richer overall, but pulls hard all teh way to about 6.5k wen i shift now so it seems happier. idle is still a bit rough but slightly better. fixed my BOV too, it had a brass restrictor in the T-piece for the vacuum. even with proper vac supply its still one of the quietest BOVs ever, tis a Prof one. (proffesional sheepdog maybe?). just sounds like my dog sneezing like 'tttsssss' haha works better tho now with a proper supply, less delay on shifts. quite surprised that it made a difference really but it has. so im happy with my car again atm ! haha back on track for FMIC in about 3-4weeks.

nice one its always great to fix a problem yourself and get a better outcome than you throught :headspin:

:D  I'd like a '30 series unit,as they sound like an actual bell dinging,and the HR31's are more of a generated "beep" The one in my old HR30 was a beauty...

Ding..click.....Ding..click....Ding....aahhhhhh,lovely! :rofl::(

Hmm dunno if its the same, but on my mates MR30 headlights on and door open it makes that ding noise, mine doesn't as its been ripped out

adam_rsx - don't bother trying to put your turbo timer next to your head unit. i tried it and it was a major hassle. i ended up putting it on the RHS of the steering column on the hard plastic part just above your knee. there was 4 slots in the plastic as well (i cut out a small rectangle usign them) so the wires can come from behind the dash and straight through the hole so they are hidden

ANY BODY INTERESTED

I just listed in For Sale - Other Items, a Simpson (ex USA) single layer nomex race suit.

Be just the go for anyone wishing to compete in supersprints.

CAMS approved etc, etc, $200.00 and at least $50 going to SAU

went to ROLIN imports today looking for a new ECU for the rb20 and i asked about a DR30 rear end, if they had one, the bloke said he sold one last week $1000, then he told me he has a DR30 rs half/cut !! fj20et with 117000kms all panels for the iron mask (silver) no lights though, so if anyone knows of someone looking its $2500 with the bonnet, but i'd be interested in chipping in $$$ for the front rotors and callipars to keep the cost down..

Adam-RSX - yep the stock pressure regulator is the mushroom looking thing with a vacuum line stuck in the top of it. towards the back of the engine between plenum & head. For the Malpassi, you can leave that one there and then connect the Malpassi in series and it overrides the stock one anyway, or you can remove the stock one. i removed the stock one, but the Malpassi still wont fit in the same place coz its bigger. mines over just infront of the driver side strut tower and p/s fluid reservoir on a bracket.

My turbo timer & HKS EBC are both mounted in the plastic to the left of the headunit. they came like this wen i got the car. the EVC had a black metal bracket for mounting it, and theyve used that to hold it and just screwed it into one of the holes at the bottom of the surround. then just got a bit of similar metal and made a little add-on bracket for the Turbo Timer under that. then just cut out around them in the plastic. looks pretty neat. they dont quite sit straight tho they tend to sag a little the the right since theyre only held properly via bracket on one side, but if i wasnt lazy i could easily secure them better!

Adam-RSX - When the cars turned off my oil pressure guage sits about 2mm below zero. can't remember where it sits when driving, i think around the middle or just under, but can have a better look next time i drive it if u want to know! haha

Wow... nice to see DR30s still floating around, even though they might not be in Perth... i know that DR30RS is in Perth...

I wish mine was a 2 door, unluggily its a 4...

since this thread seems to still be intact, I could ask it here... what can I do with a stock DR30, FJ20-turbo engine with a mere $1k? Yes, very little bling-bling, but criticism is not what i'm after... :D

thanks guys

in fact, just flood-pm me with any stuff i can do, the cheaper and the more money-efficient the better...

DR30s are so hard to get info on! But it seems people know their shet here! *sigh of relief* cos I take my car around when there's problems and no one knows crap all...

Thanks again... ^^ (I think i have photos in the gallery? not even sure myself)

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
