']got some pics of my car today all shiny and clean haha and 1 with the new 17s on the back (just for a photo tho not leaving 17s on the back and 15s on the front! haha)

i reckon some AVS Model 6 rims, or Enkie 5 spokes would look sweet on the front in 17", with the Rays on the back. what you guys reckon?

Are the new rears the "rays" you're talking about? Personally,I think they're a bit skinny! I like the Wantanabe's better,maybe just with a fatter rear,but that's just me! :D Very nice looking DR by the way Ant! Very clean.That does look like an HR31 front lip,doesn't it......

0HR30T - yeh the rears are the Rays rims i got. they are a bit skinny i guess, 17x7s they are. the Watanabes are 15x6s. couldnt put my finger on quite what didnt look 'right' about the Rays but must be the width. im gonna hang onto the Watanabes too though, so i can pick and choose i guess. i think ill stick to Watanabes if ever get into club event/track type stuff so i dont mess up the 17s and to save on tyres haha but then it probably wont grip/handle aswell with the smaller wheels *shrug* :)

Yas - haha yeah man my exhaust is ****en huge. everyone always says that. it came on the car that muffler, its massive muffler and then 5.25" tip! u can easily fit ur closed fist into it with room to spare. probably a bit big but im not gona take it off haha you probably get a muffler with a 3 - 4" tip. probably be pretty hard to get one as big as mine anyway!! haha

good to see some life in these post again!!! asked prank to move the thread to a more fitting area... anymore power into a rb20 than 200rwkw and its time for new injectors and fuel pump..then its upwards and onwards to the 300rwkw mark, at or around that point it'll be time for a new bottom end or replace the bits left!! i'll be looking (over the next 12 months) to get to the 250rwkw mark that'll keep me happy.....HOPE WE LIKE OUR NEW HOME!!!

with rims: the R33 N/A skyline has the 4 stud pattern but does anyone know if the if offset is about the same? i've got my hands on a set of volk 16" rims from a r33 at next to nothing $$ wise..

dude id say that the offset is about the same, im only surmising however i know people that put NA R33 rims onto their s13s without troubles, and s13 rims generally fit 30's okay i think. so id say you'd be right with 16s from a 33!

0HR30T - can u even fit 9's on the back without coilovers n stuff? haha ill have to get some better rear-on angled sortof pics eventualy of the rims .. i only had 1 photo left on the digicam card so i just took 1 pic from a good general angle !

ah in classic skylines now i see , i stil used the link from general chat haha

9's would go under the stock rear end,but they'd have to be spot on the right offset I think.

This thread is now located in Classic Skyline's.Not in General Discussion....It's a new section a bit futher down the page....

and I notice no ones flamed me about my RB20 comments.... where's Ghostrider? :rofl:

Edit: ok,so I was too late :(

Hey all,

Just joined, I've got an '82 DR30, fj20t (of course) needs looots of tender loving care, just blew the box a couple of weeks ago, its got a box out of a 720 ute in it now :-) I had one lying around...just to add my 2 cents worth to the speed in second gear thing...I got 130kph at about 8000rpm :-) and it didn't seem to have any intention of slowing down.

Can't do it now though, only got about 0-90 now..gets there really fast though!!

Catch you all around.

hmm dunno why it says i have none either ... i wasnt too sure how to use the gallery thing took me a while to suss it out so maybe i didnt check a box somewhere along the line or something :) but they're in there haha

lol yeah man ****en love the shine! i used the red coloured Turtle Wax on the body, and then this bumper black stuff which is kinda like black shoe polish on the bumpers & side plastics to make sure they're black as the rest of the car. I love the side on pic where you see all reflections along the side :D

hmm now you guys make me want fatter rims haha ah well i just impulse bought those 17's i wasnt really intending on upgrading, just ive always liked the look of them and thought they'd match the car coz they look pretty old school (tho theyre made 1992 by the sticker on the inside, so theyre nearly 10 yrs younger than the car!). they have a +36 offset. not too sure how much room they have to the strut, probably couldve gone 0.5-1" wider. but like i say, i just bought them on a whim for 200$ the pair!

i was thinkin of getin some 16x7 enkies for the front rather than waiting for 17s .. but then 17s will look better =]

hey [ant] is it really worth all that shine cos winter means a lotta shitty weather hey... ^^ my car needs a bit of a polish but i cbb (cant be bothered) cos its just gonna rain on it again =P

i uploaded photos too and it still doesnt have that photos = 0 with a link on my name...

yeah the shine will go ... but my car has a bit of scratch on the passenger door under the doorhandle, and a scrape along the wheel arch/side on passenger side also .. i polished it day after i bought it (new years eve last year haha) and it covered those up .. then i noticed them again after i washed it, so i just polished those areas, & they ended up looking way shinier than the rest so i had to do the whole car!!

cant hurt anyway, puts a coating of polish on it again. ill wait till the scratches show up again which'll probly be around october or so and ill polish it up again ready for summer time cruising! haha

got a question for all you dr30 guru's...the brake pads, are they the same as another model or something 'cause I'm having hells own job finding out anything about them. Someone said they thought (the fronts I'm assuming) are the same as the ones from a model of 720, anybody know any more than this?

thanks.

they are different to the other models, have you read the post from the start as theres heaps of info on brakes back there some where, i might go to my first post and put some kind of page index for the different things we've talked about!

i have to say go the endless greenstuff for the front and black stuff for the rear and you wont look back...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
