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..

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.

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!

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
