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?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
