I am currently rebuilding my DR30 and need advice on a couple of things

*Does anyone in Aus have replacement driveshaft or someone that rebuilds or exchanges them

*Im looking for a turbo that will bolt to the standard manifold and by able to support 300 -350 atw hp

*Also what size injector would be required

*Does anyone make a patch loom for a aftermarket comp for the FJ

*Does the car sit very low when swapping to S13 coilovers in the rear

*Who is the best nissan dealer in qld to see about getting part nissan japan

any help would be great

are you referring to the gearbox to diff? or the diff to wheels?

if diff to wheels, the shafts from a Z31 300zxt are bulletproof (from import wrecker) also plenty of custom places can make them, also the subaru WRX gear is VERY similar and can be adapted with some research or experience

GCG make some of the best turbos available, and can pur something together to suit the stock manifold bolt pattern with your choice of front housing and turbo trim

somr GTR 440cc injectors should be alright, normally take the total HP aimed for and add 20% and it gives you the MINIMUM cc's... very basic guide

Adaptronic make an excellent ECU, is aussie made, and hass all the features of a $3000 motec or similar. but a shitload more affordable (like $1500 tuned and installed) I can point you in the right direction of someone who has one, they may be interested in getting the tune copied as a basepoint

S13 coilivers should get some that are height adjustable, problem solved

There arent any R30 parts specialists in australia, but importmonster have some good links to yahoo japan, you can get HEAPS of good stuff

SSS in Sydney accasionally bring in a frontcut or 2

Depending on what's wrong with your own half shafts, just about any CV repairer can do them. If it's just the boots gone, just replace them with a/mkt replacements.

As Mag's says, the Z31 Turbo or HR31 half shafts are the ants pants, but they are nearly as hard to find as rockin horse sh!t. I just purchased a set for 35000 yen for my track DR and with freight into Melbourne warehouse they will cost me a tad under $800.00. But, it's not just a simple swap, the inner flange needs to be changed as well, meaning an rebuild of the rear trailing arm, but once this is done, you will never break another half shaft.

Turbo's ........... well these are just about anything goes, but for 300+ rwhp you could get an VG30 hi flow, or an GT3082 or similar. The first thing you have to decide is what your going to do with the 300+ HP, are you going to drag it or track it, because turbos are different to what purpose you want it for. I just bought a custom Billet D-GT2 for my track DR from Mr Turbo in Queensland and it's relatively small due to response required. If your going to drag it, then lag isn't a problem, but on the track, you want as little as possible.

Injectors ........... to support 300/350 comfortably your going to need about 550cc & I have 4 that have been cleaned & flowed from an S4 RX7 low imp plus 3 not done. You can have the 7 for $250.00. 440cc as Mag suggests will do the job but the duty cycle will be getting up there.

I am running an Adaptronics on my DR30 and it appears to work really good so far. May I suggest you do a search on their web site for an installer/tuner in your local area if that's the way you choose to go, but get a new ECU, don't screw about with copgy back ideas.

As for DR/HR import parts ............ good luck, as they are getting very thin on the ground in Japan. SSS can't get enough of them and between Stewart Wilkins and myself, we buy everything they can get their hands on. We are both looking to the US but haven't had any success as yet.

Cheers, D

Hey Dennis

interesting info!

for a road car whats a good (next one up) from the Vg30 that has the nissan flange? my Vg30 is leaking oil from the front cover, and id like to go a bit bigger giving me tuneability for future mods. i dont mind lag.. infact i kinda like it haha

was thinking about the factory turbos of things like the Gts25t or such??

No I haven't, but I don't have 450hp and really don't think I need it for my fun toy. I have changed the diff ratio to 4.11 and think I'll have more than enough punch on the tracks I have available. Eastern Creek I'll change to a 3.7, but for Wakefield & Winton I think I'll be fine.

If I send you over a rocker cover, can you get it done in the same magic red colour as the manifold?

Cheers, D

Marc,

I have an R34 NEO turbo for my new L28et, but I'm not chasing masses of HP either. With 380cc injectors & relatively high compression, I'm trying to get torque as opposed to HP.

I do have an VG30 hi flow, but am reluctant to part with it for now, but I think they are the best of the factory options and they can be sourced for about $300.00. As it has been suggested the HKS T04E would be fun, but again, anything with the HKS logo is expensive. There are all sorts of combinations available with a T03 mount, just be careful not to buy a T70 Chinese model that does not spool up at all.

Cheers, D

whats a Vg30 turbo off? is it of a v6 nissan vg30 maxima turbo? or what ? is the turbo of the neo bigger than a vg30? to be honest id never heard of a vg30 turbo until i got to aussie so i dont no its trim, impeller or housing sizes??

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
