Mine will be sprinted so I'm half thinking that I might need to upgrade

Yeah, maybe I'll just get the struts chopped and get some slightly lower springs made and run some new R31 Monroes or something, I really don't want to spend $$$ on more shocks

Do the Z31's run the same struts as DR's?  I'd like to modify a second set so that if I get done for having height adjustable suspension and they want me to weld it up then I can put the standard struts back in

Ta for the heads up but I missed it by 20 minutes.

Sent an email so I *might* get it

Theyve also got a modified inlet manifold to take additional Z31 injectors

Is it a good deal that price? And I'll get in the sh!t for putting you up to it, but thought it on open forum then anybody could have seen it if they wanted it.

Hope all works out, you might keep up with our RB's then :)

I dont have a huge desire to make it heaps more powerful its quick enough for what I use it for and I have to drive it every day (well... I dont have to but if I take the Triumph I have to leave earlier), so a plug-in box even with a fairly crude level of adjustment would probably do me... though I was thinking about going all out and getting an Autronic

But thats if they'll sell it to me outside of an auction

i didnt even know you could get PowerFC for DR's haha

Thinking of getting a Malpassi Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator for my car tomorow, coz apparently its not good running like 14-15psi of boost with the stock computer coz it goes too lean up around 6k+rpm so i think it may be worthwhile getting one to keep things safe til i can afford a microtech or the like.

see how i go i guess !

Yeah but I'm talking '68 2000 Auto :lol:

I dunno how your TC went quicker than a PI, PI has 33% more power, a crap load more torque and at lower revs. The only drama we have with our Mk1 PI (daily driven) is that very occasionally the number 5 injector gets clogged which is easy to fix... leave the car going, undo the two nuts that hold the injector in place, pull it out and flick the end of it till it sprays again. That has had a $$ rebuild though (dad could have put a 1JZ in there for what he spent :))

Our S will be quicker than a PI though.... because its got a stroked PI race engine in it and a side pipe lol

Just looked up the specs:

285 degree cam 0.400 lift, 10:1 compression, Extractors, triple 1 3/4 SU's re jetted by Carburettor Service at Auburn and O/Drive transmission.

Had 185 BHP.

Hmm.... I've never see a 2500 triple SU manifold.  I've got manifolds for triple Webers, and I know that the MD had triple Strombergs but that was on a 2 litre.

Hmm.... 185hp would go ok... wasn't mustard yellow though was it? :lol:

I had the car in late 80's, 88/93 and guess what?

I had never seen one either until I was talking to a guy at Triuph Tune at P'matta I think. He had it made up some years before and never used it. Just made aircleaner/ram tube difficult on number 2 carbie, as it was right on the strut tower.

I settled for short ram tubes with filter foam in them.

Early 80's I built a Hillman Hunter Wagon, 54/86 cam, 12:1 comp, twin 40mm DCOE's, extractors and that had 170 BHP going through a 5 speed celica box. Geoff Dellow made the sandwich plate to mount the celica box to the hillman bellhousing and the celica input shaft was machined down to hillan dimensions.

5L XLE C'Dores couldn't go past me.

That was a fun thing to drive.

Cool! :(

We've got a TR3A with 12.2:1, big cam, twin 40's (I think theyre 40's and not 45's) that runs avgas and has overdrive on second third and fourth, a Detroit Locker and LHD... thats fun

I aspire to own a TR4A or TR5 some day, I think the yanks have the TR5 as a TR250, but that's my all time favourite triumph.

Maybe when I'm old and don't need 400HP to thrill me anymore.

Maybe then I can co opt Tim down tassie to navigate for me in the Targa.

where have we gone now?

NOWHERE!

We all still here, Adam & I just having a chat.

But remember this: We wouldn't be driving what we are if it wasn't for the poms.

Nissan/Datsun bought their original blueprints from the then, British Motor Corporation

R30 series is sooooo what I reckon Triumph would have ended up with if they leyland merger hadnt occured.... sedans could have replaced saloon series and coupes could have replaced the TR's lol

Yeah, TR250 is a TR5 shell with a twin Stromberg 2.5, pretty gutless, about the same as a standard TC. Dad restored one 15 years ago, was the only registered one in SA for years, but it ran triple Webers and had black powdercoated 72 spoke wires

I have an urgent question.....i need to know can the rear oil pickup in an L24E block be used.....i need to make a new sump with the pickup at the back....and ive found a second location for the pickup to bolt to, but i dont know if it can be used...does it need to be drilled? or just bold the new one into place!!!

NOWHERE!

Yeah just be nice to be driving mine and stop getting ****ed around with parts :)

Mounted my cooler yesty, thats all done cheering as, was easy as i the end :P Just gotta get the piping done for it now!! Managed to stumble across HKS manifold and external wastegate setup to suit FJ the other week, purchasing that atm just to add some more wank factor to under my bonnet :D

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