well i just wanted to share my build with my fellow RB peps. so not only am i building the motor but im also doing right hand drive conversion aswell. for the most part the RHD is complete well the body part but still need to do the wiring, the motor is coming together. im doing rb30 which its gonna be 3.1L with big turbo(S372) 1000cc injectors dual fuel pumps on E85. Full over haul, 1mm oversize valves springs retainers, port and polish. i have a blog i started so ill keep that updated aswell this post when get things do to car. my goal is 700-800whp. hopefully this will do good and last long time. the site is http://www.j2fast.blogspot.com

Just a pointer re RHD.... Have you looked into compliance on a japanese car? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a car out of japan and get it shipped to the states.

It just seems crazy doing a RHD conversion on a car that was always designed and mostly produced as a RHD vehicle. Would save you so much heartache to just buy one..

If its an S13 you can pick them up for next to nothing (probably similar there in the states).

In the states it's not that easy. Here these cars are highly illegal, so customs will sieze these cars as soon as they cross over here. You cant bring them over in the full car, so thats why you usually see them chopped in half. That's why we only get front clips. People who have these cars are getting them taken away by the government and they get crushed.

RB30 block is 38mm taller which is 1.496 inches,

youll need a new manifold fabbed up once engine is in the car

im thinking bout having the old manifold redone but imma take it a really good welder an see what he thinks.

Needs some wider tyres! That's a massive turbo... are you having a bonnet bulge or scoop?

I have made a spacer for the hood for now but I'm thinking of making a cool looking scoop for tho. What you think?

have you made sure this one doesnt catch on fire again...

Are you after a 'your so cool' post or did you actually have a question?

maybe you should put this stuff in the build thread...

back pats galore there...

no not going for your so cool. just letting people enjoy seeing other peoples build, everyone has ideas of what they think is good and not and wanted see everyone opinion on my car.

gets a thumbs up from me... over here we convert them from RHD to LHD...

keep up the good work mate

well thank you sir. yall really do LHD conversions???

Hopefully if i can get this apexi boost controller to work i can go to dyno in 2 weeks and results see if they are good for my mods.

    • 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.
