Update


FJ20DR30

Recommended Posts

Well I figure its about time I did a little update on the R30 I brought 6months or so back.

Im not posting any photos yet as I want to do a before and after piece.

however I have since getting it done the following..

-stripped and replaced the interior and fitted recaro seats

-added gauges oil,water,volts

-fitted blitz SBC ID 2 boost controller

-facelift front, all but the bonnet

-fitted 17” original goods wheels

-exhaust changed 3’ right through

-new intake and filter

-stripped all sound deadening all 32.3kgs worth!

-fitted genuine mirrors

-fitted R32 brakes (still figuring out the best option for tie rods)

-s13 coilovers front

-r33 coilovers rear

-10mm rear wheel spacers (when you see pics you will understand)

-standard side skirts fitted

-two tone paint

Also on the weekend I did a dyno day just thought id see how she was going..

Now the engine is 2.2ltr has forged pistons a full metal head gasket plus a Vg30 turbo with large intercooler a bosch 650hp fuel pump and a mines computer it has standard injectors..

It made 171.5rwkw@ 14.3 psi but was starting to lean so it could not run higher than that the tuner said with bigger injectors it would easily go way past there saying it felt very strong..

How ever im happy with this power for now it wont put the power to the road until 3rd anyway and am running 235s!

How big you want the injectors Marc?

I have a NEW set of 570cc Siemens Deka injectors I probably wont be using, but need a 14mm O'ring fuel rail to fit them.

Also 6 x 460cc S2 RX7 and connector plugs to suit that you can have real cheap.

Your stock injectors are 375cc.

"a full metal head gasket"

Your gunna be sooooorrry!

Where is your safety valve, for when you detonate for lean out, or a bad dose of fuel, or whatever?

what who when where? lol gasket was prefitted i didnt put it on the car it seems fine i think ill be fine..

im not sure about injectors at this point ill probably just get 510cc mitsubishi ones but not sure just yet it all depends on if i want to go further with it which at this point i dont.

iv got the car weighing 1073kgs with me in it so that plus 171kw its very quick imo..

as for pics they will come but i want to finish it first so i can do before and after

Very nice mate, I'm liking these things more and more.

Nice wheels, good stance, looks tuff.

Just striped the deadner out of mine, should have weighed it would have gone close to that I recon.

AAAAAH this car!! I know it well...Randy from Nissco (in Halbert St Bayswater) built it with his son Vincent (orig owner a few years back)

They commented that it was one of the only FJ's they had to chain down on the dyno as it kept trying to jump off the rollers! Came on boost VERY hard.

WOW this looks so much better too... what did you use for the lower half paint? details???

I really like the rims, they look like what was going around in 1984. What $$$ you chasing?

Get it finished for the Skyline Nationals too, only a few months to go. September.

Hi Marc,

Looks very nice as is. 

Is it registered and on the road yet?

You're not putting the usual DR30 decals on the side, are you?

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
