Theres a pic of that dr30 at the auction yards in Japan just before Ben bought it with 16 watanabes on it. Do you mind me asking around what you paid for it Disco?

Like less than 10g?

That car appeared in 2 or 3 issues I think.

:D Ya can't get much more affordable rubber than 235 45 17", commodore sizes and cheaper than the last pair of 215 50 16" I bought in the same tire.

Theres nothing wrong with a bit of stretch :D

More than 9 less than 10 , yes been in a few magszine articles out here . I'm not sure what you call a "Watanabee" but mine have Rays Engineering stickers in them and are model specific ie right on the money offset wise . They had 205 55 fronts and 225 50 rear tyres which is better than wider fronts with wrong wheel offset .

I defy anyone to get more rubber on the road without lots of caster and just a smidge of negative camber . Turn in is far better than any strut Nissan I've ever driven . With the 205's it easily has more grip than the back which is the next area to mod provided the Bluebird power rack conversion dosen't get in the way .

If anyone wants a clean DR with a bit of history it's up for grabs , I want what I paid for it .

Cheers A .

Attached is a pic of some Watanabe's :O

Must have been Ben that changed them cause the next issue containing pics of your car, the Volks were fitted.

He also had it dynoed with 127kw atw with just the cat-back e xhaust fitted.

AFR's were 14.4:1 at idle and around 11.8:1 at full load :P

edit: Sorry bout hijacking ur thread Josh

The Vulks are composite (two piece) and look to have forged centres . Four piston calipers would fall in , theres that much room around the std calipers . Yeah sorry Josh , mine is same colour but all over with no lairy stencils . Do all these RSX's have black and red interior ?

Cheers A .

Just though I'd chuck up some photos of my beast before paint work, then I can put some up after.

The motor is currently in being machined.  B)

Josh,

Can you make a template of the mount plates for your strut brace and post it to P O Box N89 Campbelltown North NSW 2560.

Ghost rider, I have a adjustable frount strut brace (cusco I think) in my DR but is only 2 bolt per strut top. Don't know if this is what you are looking for.

Cheers

Thats Neame's DR Adam, before he had an altercation in it...

My interior is black with red inserts, i think the RSX had the stripey interior whilst the RS just had the plain black/red interior..Correct me if im wrong!!

Affordable maybe, but what do you do with the extra 10 odd Kph the speedo is under reading with these 235/45 x 17 on board.

And do you know, the optimum tyre size for any R30 is 245/45 x 16 as they have the correct dynamic radius (same as 205/60 x 15) and they have the widest tread etc, etc, etc.

Why do anything else if it's just for show?

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
