RB30DET Swapped R31 Wagon

9th of November last year i sold my fire breathing 12a monster bridge port Series 1 RX-7 to my flat mate at the time

I then proceeded to buy my first R31 off of my cousin

i drove it round for little over a week before it ran a bottom end so i rang a mate who builds engines and told him what i wanted to do and he pulled through building me a 30det from the poor little 30e donk originally fitted to the old tart

2 weeks went by and then he rung me up to say it was ready so in it went

i lost my original FFP, Topmount and GT35 in the process of moving house to lockup and then lockup to storing the car at my parents to work on it while i moved into their sleepout to save money while i study at polytech this year

I then proceeded to get more than the shite factory steering lock and well and truly succeeded by swapping out the factory LCA and strut assembly and retrofitting Cefiro LCA and shocks with lowering springs which i have now replaced the shocks with a set of JDM Juran adjustable shocks cheers to a childhood friend Riley so i can adjust the stiffness up front

I Then brought another Plazamann FFP and proceeded to go factory side mount with one of China's finest Blue Label T3T4 turbos and a 38mm wastegate which i later sold to a mate when I decided i was going for decent power I then proceeded yet again to opt for some china and brought the holy grail T70

Now before you start at me with the whole "you're going to have so much lag" crap i opted for a bigger turbo so i had more drive-ability round town etc, i found a set of COPs i had lying round from a v6 honda so started to wire them in then i got all pedantic on hiding wiring and proceeded to tuck almost every wire possible other than about 50cm worth of the main harness that i couldn't tuck

I'm still yet to fire it up as had a Link G4 ecu that failed and melted itself my new one finally arrived this week so will keep you all posted on how its progressing as i currently have my right arm wrapped in plaster due to it having surgery on it after being slammed in the van door the other week on the piss

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have no idea what the power steering control module is on a non-HICAS car because I've never seen one. But it is a fair bet that is essentially the same thing as on any other Nissan of the period with variable PS. So, Maximas, that sort of thing. It will pick up the ECU's speed signal off the "bus" (there's not really a bus - any consumers of the VSS are all just connected to that output on the ECU). The output should (most likely) be a PWM signal to give you an effective average voltage between the minimum and maximum values. You could possibly look at the HICAS part of the R32 manual to see what that range is likely to be (for non-HICAS, as it should be about the same).

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      Thank you for the info!    Did you get a 33 gearbox speed sensor to have your speedometer to work? Does the Speedo work but not accurate?

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      Took me a while to answer that.... Funny thing is, the across the river neighbour did put in an airstrip, built a hanger, and buy a cessna, because strangely they aren't allowed to build a house on the property but there is no problem building an airport terminal They've used in 3 times, once for an attempted landing where they misjudged a little, aborted and missed the trees by so little that new underwear was required. Second time the landing stuck, then a few weeks later the plane left and never returned, so I don't think aircraft noise is going to be an issue. Funny looking back through the last few posts too, I've spent a heap of time lately redoing the roads  and drains so I guess it is a 2 yearly thing to add to the calendar. Those big drains did overflow in the rain about a month ago so that is pretty disheartening....just a reminder that you can't stop nature I guess.

      R32 non hicas power steering solenoid issues!

      By D.phantom · Posted

      So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
