I know what you're thinking, D-limo has found yet another shitbox that will never make it to rwc lol. Though the L28 was cool it needed work in my eyes and was never going to give the feeling of an fj20t. I had even considered dropping an fj into the 210. Though the car is clean enough, such a venture is not very cost effective.

So I Found this gem in June last year.. Checked it out in person and made an offer but was told it had been sold.. Fast forward to now and I took some advice to try and find a dr30 already in the country instead of relying on luck of finding a decent example in japan cheap..

I remembered that the owner of the coupe had a brother with and RS-X sedan, sent an email, bros sedan was sold but he still had the coupe and had been collecting parts to get it back on the road!

It has the rare Black interior including dash and plastics, 95k on the clock, included seperate was a brand new garrett T04 komatsu excavator turbo, GT-R intercooler, NOS badges, it is very rust free and quite original for a dr30. Still has standard exhaust.

Plan is to get it road going as soon as the 210 is sold.

Stage 1 will probs be paint in gunmetal over black twin tone,

Stage 2 A power upgarde inluding a Holset HX35 500hp twin scroll turbo, exhaust with truck muffler. GT-R cooler, sheepdog BOV etc.

Received some good info on paint. Apparently 4 different shades of silver/grey with the same code. Grey metallic is the sharknosed car, and the early ones also had the deep deep metallic blue bottom.

Exact color coding I want. Should I paint the bumpstrips?????

Bits to go on at some stage.

It's an S1 Jarryd, 81/82 model.

When you decide to sell it, give me a call, parts are always handy to have.

Your old DR is progressing steadily, got heaps of pics on progress and will start up a new thread when I find the cable to download them off the memory card.

I'm waiting on bits from Fantasy Performance, like bigger turbo, O'ring fuel rail for 770cc injectors, V band dump pipe adaptor, and getting some bits made here in NSW to go with my HKS Hi Mount and 41mm TIAL ext wastegate.

I'm going with a straight through exhaust, firstly through a 3" hot dog, then straight out the left side in front of rear wheel. Ext wastegate is also venting to atmosphere along with huge type 3 Turbosmart BOV. Should make heaps of fun noises on the track.

Cheers, D

Hey D, It was complied in 06. Some stage there after it was fitted with whiteline swaybars and lovells springs front and rear. Should keep me occupied until power mods progress.

Really wish I kept the purple car, could have afforded both, just timing I guess. I am glad its getting knowledge and $$ thrown at it. exhaust sounds like it will be wild. Get those pics happening :)

Exhaust when I get around to it will be 3in over the diff, no cat with a truck muffler if one will fit.

What do you call a "near perfect stone guard" and where you getting your Holset from?

I have an Holset HE40 fully reco'ed you can have cheap, but it needs an wastegate actuator, as the one supplied doesn't fit.

The purple car is very likely to end up black & red, much the same as the Advan car in Japan. As I have to paint the bonnet, o/s/f guard and drivers door, I figure I might as well do the n/s/f guard & passenger side door as well. If we cant get a good match to the existing purple, it's going to be black.

I've never heard of an he40, he35 I have however.. do you have pics or specs?

I was going to try hunt down a 2nd hand ex Iveco van hx35 in Aus and have it rebuilt.. New ebay ones going for $500 and under seem dodgey as I've heard there are chinese copies being manufactured.

Do you have a spare stoneguard? Also keeping an eye out for a mint lower chrome grill trim as mine is slightly bent in the middle.

im not even going to bother to correct the numbers, But thanks a lot dennis, ill tell the guy who wanted it not to bother anymore

Didn't mean to step on anyones toes :rofl: Not particulaly fussed if you still want it go for it stageformer.

Onto more pressing issues, is this going to be tricky to rectify before paint?

2 bolts. you can replace it with an aussie delivered 30, some are the same

Yup just go grab an Aussie spec one from a wreckers. I had to do the same after my old man bent my mint original one while I had it off.

Im driving up for xmas, can bring you a good grille if you like. (chrome trim intact)

I do have another stone guard, but its bent and shit... it will be a challenge finding one in good nic, i suggest trying to re-shape the existing one you have and re-paint etc

Chrome trim does appear to be plastic. And is missing some chrome. Might hunt down some series 2 lights at a later date, prefer earlier versions over iron mask ones.. Thats assuming the Iron mask is aka series 3? :)

Might start a new thread with some paint/body queries after its on the road.

How good is your chrome trim mag86? Mines good, just a bit tweaked and sort of makes the bumper look out of whack :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
