Thats Tom in the last issue from the JMS drift day. But I believe that would be mine in the new issue from the Club PSI drift day. But from the front end bit I dare say it's mine your talking about, It looks even worse these days. I still haven't seen the issue but been told theres a photo in there.

Sweet Josh, looks good

I'll have to get some new pics of mine up sometime, changed a few things so it looks different now.

Crimmo, any chance of getting a look at how you did the coilovers and brakes sometime? (I was the guy with the R31 the night you locked the keys in the R33 at BP Gorge Rd, Andrews friend)

@@@@@ POLO SHIRTS @@@@@

Shirts are ALL GO!

Anybody got any input, towards what they should say or look like.

My ideas,

SAU Logo on the front and on the back 2 cars angled towards each other with R between the cars and 30 below between the fronts and maybe SKYLINES across the bottom, or Skyline Owners.

Will knock up a couple of pics and post them.

Something else though, if we use the word "Nissan" or "Skyline" we/I have to get permission from Nissan.

Cheers

is MR30 hatch Front Left Suspension the same as DR30????

All R30 suspensions are interchangeable, DR, HR, MR.

### BUT ###

The brakes & mounts are different.

The HR & MR have the stock 250 x 18 front disc rotors and DR has 274 x 22 and the HR & MR mounts are only 3.5 inches between the centres and DR is 4.0 inches.

Answer to your question is yes, but you have to change both along with the smaller brakes.

What specs are you looking for?

I can give you body dimensions, road clearance, brakes etc, but what are you looking for?

The DR was just a comp version of MR/HR.

got it a few days ago and if it is you then i guess your looking to get a new front bar!! these a caption with the pic that states " wheres my front mount, has anyone seen my intercooler" along those lines, bad luck mate. at least the rest of the car looks sweet..

what do they do? electronic valves?

put it this way the control switch has a hard or soft setting! was more popular in the r31 gts-x and gts-r. some sort of solinoid sits at the top of the strut...with mine one of the solinoids was rusted badly...

ghostrider: do you have the control switch is i have one that can go to the same home! free as well (i'm not using it).

what do you think of this on the back " i got that car so i could get this t-shirt" :jk:

its all good to use the SAU logo though isnt it? if so what if that was on the front with a outline of an r30 underneath (small) Then on the back your looking at a 2door and 4door facing each other 3/4 veiw, put at the top of the back of the shirt, then under that something like "R30 Division/Skylinesaustralia.com" if we went that way then having nissan/skyline permission wont be needed if we have permission from skylinesaustralia.com?

Hey all, interesting thing happened to me the other day. I was just driving along kind off sensibaly (Kind off), when all of a sudden, my car was making a horrible grinding noise from under the bonnet. Very soon after (I pulled over as soon as i could) it had overheated.

The problem turned out to be the water pump, the drive shaft had sheared in three places.

Just thaught that it was kind of odd, breaking in thee places.

Anyhow, if anyone has, or knows of a DR30 for sale, i am interseted.

Also, what is the going price for one in good nick, with some mods?

I have possibly found one for $13000, it had a bunch off trust gear, (BIG turbo, dont remember what model) front mount intercooler, three inch exhaust 50mm wastegate etc.) Also coilovers, and it is an ironmask. and four door. Build is '85'.

Unsure of km's, waiting on more info.

Is $13000 exxesive?

Any help apprecciated, Mick.

Ohh yeah, if anyone has a non injected skyline (L series motor) I have an injected heead, complete with ECU) if your interested let me know. (Also a auto trans (out of Aussie R30))

Cheers again, Mick.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
