RB30s dont deserve to be anchors , RB25s do :cheers:

Wasnt the rb30 a folk lift motor ???

Dunno about forklifts but it was in the Patrol in carburetted form.

Andrew, I don't think its god, just good :) Anyway, I still have love for the '31s, you just get some better reactions when you bag a car than praise it. And secretly I did want to turbo my TI, talked to Grizzlor a lot about his conversion. I just think they'd be better with the JDM rear end, James (from the bbq) GTS2 handles really nicely as does Shannons Pintara but I think they'd be better again with IRS.

Shannons car with its Y31 coilover conversion is my aim for the DR30, I'm in front as far as mechanical grip goes I think but mine is a lot sloppier and new bushes and heavier sway bars would allow me to use the tyres even better

the dash in total haha i hate my aus spec one

btw, love your 31

strangley enough  

i was going to paint mine blue

i had those exact rims at home... didnt fit the autospolier...

i went red, sold rims to mate, im regretting it bad , yours is hot!

Thanks dude, funny enough it's a Pintara. I'll show you some pics of it in a few weeks when some new body parts are painted and fitted. It will look a lot more sexier.

With regards to yours, I reckon you should keep it (mmmm 25t r31 :cheers:) and for your reference. The paint I used is Moody Blue & a Mica twopac

Where about's in Perth are ya? I moved to QLD a 1 1/2 ago, I was lived in Ocean Reef, near Joondalup

As for handling, do some research, don't trust anyone, believe half of what your told and filter the rest. There are some great books on handling and it's not as simple as just lowering and firmer springs and shocks and sway bars, as some would suggest. Remember, they are trying to sell you something and not necessarily the best for your car.

thanks for the tip mate. I don't know what makes you think that I know nothing about cars nor handling, I always make sure I know what i'm doing before I do it. So if I don't know, I do alot researching :cheers:

these are just a few of the pics i dont use on antilag of my dirty 31

www.antilag.com/personal/tom/my31

i hope there is some you like there

all pics are on private property too :cheers:

Andrew, im from mirrabooka way, so not too far away from you.

i will be now chasing a lip like yours for the front, and will probobly hack the bar open this week, it needs it.

Sorry Rezz, but somehow I've become the instigator when all I've been trying to do is explain something which is rather black and white, so I'm going to quote Ghostrider one more time... just for old times sake.

So as you can see, I was only acting on his request. :)

Unless of course it was a rhetorical question to begin with.

.....and to the people who think Ti's are slow, we have at least 2 Ti's (RB30ET) here in Victoria which are pulling low 12 - high 11 1/4 mile times, with all electrics intact.   :cheers:

what IS your problem?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why ask something if you don't want to hear the answer?

Why belittle someone by saying "why would you?" in regards to certain modifications?

If someone chooses to do something to their car, they can.

Get over it.

If you have a problem with me, then take it up with either myself or christian.

Just because I'm a moderator doesn't mean im not allowed to post.

THIS IS PISSING ME OFF.

Sorry my ass!

This landed in my PM inbox 31.12.2004 from Karina.

I have never responded to it, but chose to show everyone that she is never going to let it go, doesn't matter what her fellow moderators say, or even Rezz, a super moderator and as you have all read he just gave up.

The PM in it's entirety has been forwarded to 3 moderators and Administration.

A lot of people on this forum think I'm just an old wanker, that shoots his mouth of with no credentials to back it up, but let's set some records straight.

I have 2 engineering degrees, yet made more money from Security Consultancy, the last contract being chief security consultant to 6 hotels in Bali after the bombing, and have now retired at 55.

This last quote of mine from Karina, DOES NOT COME FROM THIS THREAD.

It came from a thread started by Predator, in FOR SALE (Private Car Parts & Accessories) on 21.12.04 under R31 Turbo Conversion Parts (Gold Coast) so to quote me, she had to search all my posts, as I did.

Make up your own mind as to who the aggressor is!

She wants us to believe "SHE ISN'T THE INSTIGATOR" but just a poor misguided individual trying to explain something which is rather "BLACK & WHITE" and that she was only acting on my request.

BULLSH!T, BULLSH!T, BULLSH!T

She is a problem and a trouble maker.

The quote "please explain to this dumb ass old fart etc, etc."

Somebody please show me where she has explained ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where has she provided any ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How have I "belittled" cazz, as I'm sure she doesn't think the same way.

Where did I ever say she (cazz) couldn't do any mods to her car?

And "get over it" ....... I have, and let it go, but it's obvious Karina can't, because she is trying to move the sh!t fight into the PM arena.

Somehow I think she has a very loose grip on the english language, as she has no idea what the meaning of words are.

"JELLY WRESTLING"" that could be fun, from what I have been told she could do that all on her own. AND her alter ego, is it superwoman, or just something that chases cars and goes WOOF, WOOF.

This is my last word on this subject and all and any further correspondence will be forwarded to the moderators and administration.

AND I SINCERELY APOLOGISE TO ALL FORUM MEMBERS FOR MY ACTIONS AND STATEMENTS DURING THE COURSE OF THIS ENCOUNTER, THEY WERE MADE IN HASTE AND I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

these are just a few of the pics i dont use on antilag of my dirty 31

Sometime this year I will be driving back to Perth and seeing lots and lots of old mates. I'll let you know when this happens so we could go on a cruise

When I was over in Perth, I never saw a hr31. I never knew there was decent 31's in Perth.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
