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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
