Happy New year everyone.

I went for a cruise in Matt's (rsx84) dr30 with rb20det at 4:30am New Years Day

I must say, even though I've been driving a Charade while mine has been in the workshop over the last few months. Wow, simply wow. I was shaking after the "quick" drive. :wassup:

Now mine should have more boot when mine gets back. So now i'm scared haha

Now to my conclusion

I love Dr30's

But Matt's isn't a DR, it's an HR.

Just looks like a DR with the iron mask front.

Cheers. :ghost:

ROFL I thought this was going to be a thread giving me shit.  Yeah they are good hey.  I'd be interested to see what theyre like with an RB instead of a FJ

What Charade have you been driving?

Haha Adam, i'm not like that eh. Matts R30 is what made me want to go turbs. I personally think the DR30 looks more aggressive than the hr31. I love them

and right now i'm driving my missus's 92' 1ltr 3cyl auto Charade. :Oops:

But Matt's isn't a DR, it's an HR.

?? Matt, I thought yours was the dr30 rsx?

Andrew,

I was only being a little pedantic.

At the end of the day, it's only a body and they're always going to be an R30.

I have been criticised by some, for doing an RB conversion to my PNV, but everything that has a signature or number has been kept, so that re transformation is an easy task.

Cheers,

D

Personally not my ideal thing to do with a rare car, but like you've said you have all the standard stuff to return it back to standard so go hard! I've got 90% of my standard stuff in the shed if need be as well!!

I love my DR as well, as much of a pain in the ass it is at times and the headache it causes me (and my wallet) its so nice to be driving something wtih a skyline badge but is different to every other skyline...I still have people asking me what a DR30 skyline is once they see it they love it!!

does your 30 get refered to as a 31? or are you refering to everyone saying 31's are the beez neez?

Matt's (hr30) is what made me want to go turbs. I've always loved them since Matt's. I love my 31 too, love it more when it's back on the road and not killing my bank account.

@ everyone, anyone who appreciates and loves their car has a hole in their bank account. At least I know that i'm not the only one blowing their cash on their car, but your right. When you drive it, it's like heaven.

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31. If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

That's because you're missing the all-important schtickers on the flanks!

Actually, that doesn't seem to make a rats arse of difference.....

Do you see a '24v Ceramic Turbo' badge on my car? No? Then it's not a bloody R31

:wassup:

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
