gUYS,

The steering box in my DR doesnt feel right.

Wen driving, the steering wheel doesnt self centre after turning a corner.

Im not sure if its a 'lack or castor' thing or my box is overly adjusted.

It feels nice when driving, no tight spots or weird noises, just doesnt self centre...

Also,

Wheel tub clearance issues.

Anyone have this on a lowered R30?

Im rubbing everywhere (wheel specs are 15x8 -9, to clear my s14 brakes)

I want to stay using these wheel, so looking forward to seeing/ reading about some idea's to solve the problem.

Thats about it,

Cheers,

Dan

Not self centering is often an over adjusted steering box issue. Is there any play in the wheel when stationary?

Wheels?? I have 16 x 7 on front at +38 & 16 x 8 on rear also at +38 with zero scrubbing, so a -9 offset might just be the problem, as stock wheel offset was about +25.

Cheers, D

Dennis,

Will it have play when stationary with a over adj box, or just when the box is adj properly (pending box condition and age of course)

Im going to work on it tommorow (having cars that dont live at your ouse is shit) so ill check the box and get back to this thread.

Cheers,

im having the same front clearence isues too!, heres wat im doin

fairly extreme i no, but got to the point were wheels would bind up, no amount of hammering could fix it.

wheels with still hit up top. just couldnt bring myself to fully tub it!

well worth it cos i will be able run more castor and more lock!

heres sum insperation from nigel!

hmmm yeah Im not that keen haha.

Damn 15" wheels and having to lower it so it looks half decent.

How do all the crazy low jap dr30's get away with it?

Ydr030,

what size wheels you got and how low is your r30?

yea i get wat u saying, some off them got kits so look heaps lower than they are,

17x9s not sure of offset, cos of new outer dish.

cars low as front subframe is like 50-60mm off the deck, lol

rears are 17x9.5 -10.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
