hm well you guys probably dont care too much but success! my dr30 is working again A-Ok after that little electrical scare. Malpassi rising rate is in set for 34psi idle pressure, running 1bar boost, and it goes well. seems to not be working as hard, i guess its probably just lost a bit of edge coz its running richer overall, but pulls hard all teh way to about 6.5k wen i shift now so it seems happier. idle is still a bit rough but slightly better. fixed my BOV too, it had a brass restrictor in the T-piece for the vacuum. even with proper vac supply its still one of the quietest BOVs ever, tis a Prof one. (proffesional sheepdog maybe?). just sounds like my dog sneezing like 'tttsssss' haha works better tho now with a proper supply, less delay on shifts. quite surprised that it made a difference really but it has. so im happy with my car again atm ! haha back on track for FMIC in about 3-4weeks.

nice one its always great to fix a problem yourself and get a better outcome than you throught :headspin:

:D  I'd like a '30 series unit,as they sound like an actual bell dinging,and the HR31's are more of a generated "beep" The one in my old HR30 was a beauty...

Ding..click.....Ding..click....Ding....aahhhhhh,lovely! :rofl::(

Hmm dunno if its the same, but on my mates MR30 headlights on and door open it makes that ding noise, mine doesn't as its been ripped out

adam_rsx - don't bother trying to put your turbo timer next to your head unit. i tried it and it was a major hassle. i ended up putting it on the RHS of the steering column on the hard plastic part just above your knee. there was 4 slots in the plastic as well (i cut out a small rectangle usign them) so the wires can come from behind the dash and straight through the hole so they are hidden

ANY BODY INTERESTED

I just listed in For Sale - Other Items, a Simpson (ex USA) single layer nomex race suit.

Be just the go for anyone wishing to compete in supersprints.

CAMS approved etc, etc, $200.00 and at least $50 going to SAU

went to ROLIN imports today looking for a new ECU for the rb20 and i asked about a DR30 rear end, if they had one, the bloke said he sold one last week $1000, then he told me he has a DR30 rs half/cut !! fj20et with 117000kms all panels for the iron mask (silver) no lights though, so if anyone knows of someone looking its $2500 with the bonnet, but i'd be interested in chipping in $$$ for the front rotors and callipars to keep the cost down..

Adam-RSX - yep the stock pressure regulator is the mushroom looking thing with a vacuum line stuck in the top of it. towards the back of the engine between plenum & head. For the Malpassi, you can leave that one there and then connect the Malpassi in series and it overrides the stock one anyway, or you can remove the stock one. i removed the stock one, but the Malpassi still wont fit in the same place coz its bigger. mines over just infront of the driver side strut tower and p/s fluid reservoir on a bracket.

My turbo timer & HKS EBC are both mounted in the plastic to the left of the headunit. they came like this wen i got the car. the EVC had a black metal bracket for mounting it, and theyve used that to hold it and just screwed it into one of the holes at the bottom of the surround. then just got a bit of similar metal and made a little add-on bracket for the Turbo Timer under that. then just cut out around them in the plastic. looks pretty neat. they dont quite sit straight tho they tend to sag a little the the right since theyre only held properly via bracket on one side, but if i wasnt lazy i could easily secure them better!

Adam-RSX - When the cars turned off my oil pressure guage sits about 2mm below zero. can't remember where it sits when driving, i think around the middle or just under, but can have a better look next time i drive it if u want to know! haha

Wow... nice to see DR30s still floating around, even though they might not be in Perth... i know that DR30RS is in Perth...

I wish mine was a 2 door, unluggily its a 4...

since this thread seems to still be intact, I could ask it here... what can I do with a stock DR30, FJ20-turbo engine with a mere $1k? Yes, very little bling-bling, but criticism is not what i'm after... :D

thanks guys

in fact, just flood-pm me with any stuff i can do, the cheaper and the more money-efficient the better...

DR30s are so hard to get info on! But it seems people know their shet here! *sigh of relief* cos I take my car around when there's problems and no one knows crap all...

Thanks again... ^^ (I think i have photos in the gallery? not even sure myself)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
