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??

    • 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.
