nah ill stick with my classic red n black hey :) but that silver one is nice!! all u need is that front spoiler, those wheels, and coilovers to make it look awesome as that regardless of colour. sucks how its difficult to really dump DR's :(

yeah headlights suck on the DR hey im always using mainbeams on everything but main roads ;)

Nah, they look good in any colour but white :cheers: Which mine unfortunately is. Every other colour looks ok, but white makes the front look strange. The wrong angle can make the Tekamon front look weird in any colour though... In the latest HPI I don't think any of the pictures of the 4 door RSX look flattering at all. The 4wd rideheight and the completely undished wheels dont help though

Me too! They look fat with the deep dish rims hey. :aroused:

thats how my RS8's look or sit? there 15x7 offset +15 at the front and 15x7.5 offset +21 at the rear for reference and thats what they look like when on, fill up the guards to with-in a mm of rubbing :wassup: once the r30 is on the road i'm selling the r31 i have at the moment and getting a set of brand new Rays engineering GT-N 17's painted in black with the crome outsides.. been specking to a bloke who's working on 8's at the front and 9's for the rear :cheers::cheers: which might mean i'll need some of those flares just for good measure!

i'm going to respray the top half of mine as theses quite a few scratches in the paint but the bottom half (black) is perfect..

stupid question: are you running an FJ in the r31?? or did you take it along for the hell of it?LOL

Hey where can i get a bar and plate Hybrid Super Monster from for around $3/400, someone mentioned before they could get them cheap.

i've seen the real hybrid coolers for $450 ebay or you could get a copy for $3/400, mine was $600 about a year ago 600x300x75mm.

picked up a copy today of that issue, get this its a gold coast car and i've seen it twice on the road but i quess he's not on here, i'll keep my eye out and the next time i see it i'll try to speck to him! your right not the most beastie looking example but i think he's spent a bit on the engine instead :cheers: i think he raced at the Qld fast fours jamboree, on the sunday when i was there 13 something i think from memory as the bikini comp was on at the same time. ME BAD....

My car had bad rust in LHF so that is getting fixed and while its in it is getting majority of the bodywork mickey whisker. There was a few deeper scratches in the paint, and a small dent down the bottom of the LHR 1/4. I think that happened on its way over from Japan.

I agree that the DR30 looks best in silver and black, a really good contrast!

As for Anthony's R31, its the NICS RB20DET engine, but he's converting it to FJ20 power! I think you've got forgies, ECU and turbo also going on it don't you???

I have posted my thoughts on the thread so! now I just wait and see what response I get.

BUT!!!! it seems they are experiencing heaps of trouble with idle etc, maybe it's due to the profile shape as the primary difference between solid & hydraulic lifter cams.

Anyway, why pay $300+ for second hand GTR when $850 gets you BRAND NEW anything you want.

If you do go down that track, you got a g'teed deal sale on your RB20DET cams, cause I will take them.

they seem to be having problems with ECU when i do the swap i'll ether be using a new plug in wolf ecu or a rechipped ecu, i'll work in this order get all work done at the one shop or get the turbo, cams and adj gears installed then the ECU worked and tuned in a hope to keep the dyno time down, its the idle that seems to be the problem so if i was able to play with these settings then that should be able to get around the idle problem.

Nothing wrong with white, just not ALL white.

I think mine looks cool, white/silver.

And now considering scrapping RB conversion for L31, to keep more in phase with originality. Top end HP might not be as big, but torque would be similar and 300rwhp still might be achievable.

Someone that could remark an L28 block to my L20 engine number would be interesting, no need for engineering or emissions testing then and a nice little sleeper.

stupid question: are you running an FJ in the r31?? or did you take it along for the hell of it?LOL

Yeah,it was a cruise for FJ20 enthuisests,so I went along in the HR31 anyway!

It's an ECCS red top,but that's not important,as it sucks anyway.

Yes,my FJ20 will soon be living in the HR31.Dare I say it,I think I'll have the best of both worlds :P:):rant:

The FJ already has Wiseco forgies,big Garrett ball bearing turbo,EMS QI-4 ecu, etc,etc.... :rant:

colour wise i'm still a fan of the red/black and if i was to change it would be a deeper red for the top half...m2c

When my original project car was the RED 4 door hatch, my choice of colours was going to be U12 Pintara Ti colour scheme, Cabernet/Stormy Glow.

In laymans terminology, Burgundy/Silver, but Red/Silver would look cool as well. Have seen R31's in that scheme.

Matt,

Before you go to the GTR cams, get yours measured, because if your engine came out of a Cefiro or Laurel, it could have 248 degree cams and the change would give you SFA, in fact you could experience a loss with GTR's.

If your going to get a new re programmable ECU, why not just get a set of 254's and be done with it.

mine is a 92' r32 silvertop rb20det still got the front of the car it came out off :(

if your talking $850 plus $400 for new cam gears then fitting i'd be better off getting my hands on a hks 2530 turbo and blue tacing that on :ghost: but these a process with every thing each of us do!

yas - u crazy mofo thats not a DR30, JINMAN is an import 2dr HR31. it was for sale for a while for 13k but hes keeping and rebuilding the RB20DET in it now. seen it on a few cruises.

hey man u wanna buy my cooler!? :P:D getting my big one installed tomorow and get car back thursday.

edit: an coz ur like the only dude with an FJ20 in perth its easy to sell it all to you and make good use of it, give u cooler, piping and BOV all for $150. beter than having it sitting round my place! :(:(

HR31? Woops, my bad... 13k!? Phoarrrr...damn... mine's loose change compared to $13k...

$150!?!?! are you serious!? dayam! Pencil me in hey, once I get this tax return sorted out and get the bling-bling then i'll get down to modding the FJ.

My friend went to hong kong today and he won't be back for 2 weeks, he says he wants to do the POD air filter thingy for me. But i also gotta do that muffler thing too... So many upgrades! *pant pant*

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
