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

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
