Yes it is just for show really as I have quite a lot of sets of 15's (hr31 wheels the manifold is sitting on) and 16's the car will spend most of it's time running on.

And my speedo was way out on 195/50 15's so I suspect aftermarket diff ( was once pulled over for 90 in a 80 zone, speedo was readin a bit over 110) so that doesnt really worry me.

And yes this car has a very drift based setup, a motorsport alot of people on this forum wouldnt be interested in I know :P, thats why I really dont mention it or I seem to find old school people don't take you seriously even though I am and have been in the scene for quite a long time B)

Josh,

I got heaps of time for the drift guys, I will be at the nationals at the end of the month at Oran Park, but as a competitor, I can't see the value of destroying tyres like they do.

I also think there is more skill involved doing laps or hill climbs & preparing a car than simply pulling on the handbrake to get sideways and burning tyres staying that way.

As for Old School, I would have to be the OLDEST, I don't think there would be too many putting their hand up admitting they're older than me.

Each to their own I say, but you won't find my PNV drifting, unless I have gone into a corner a bit hot.

My aspirations lie in Targa or the East Coast Rally one day.

Cheers,

Dennis

It's all cool. I will still have my shot at collingrove for the hillclimbs and sprints at mallala as I love motor sport no matter what and also all of the competition between me and all my mates, but I know my one true love, MY DR30 . :P hehehe

With a few slight suspension changes here and there it should really do quite well on the track I reckon, as it has quite the setup and I love the feed back I get through the wheel driving it. :D

Mine origanally had had black with red stripes across the seats inserts, where as my good mates DR has a black interior with the full inserts red interior.

Before it hit a tree and returned bright green, you will also see 16 x 8 watanabe's

And after it cained a tree and was reborn (with my wheels on it of course) :)

That one isn't my car. It's a good mate of mines DR, but damn do I love it. Still yet to get of my but and spray my car.

As for the color coded bumpers I think it just makes it look a bit tacky. And just a much better look about it with all black bumpers, rather than just the black stripe down the center.

In the back ground you will also see a written off DR30 shell under the white cover. ;):D:(

Sorry, but I can't agree, I think the big bars look out of place against the thin line of the bump strips, but that's just my humble opinion.

I have done mock ups of mine & I think the clour coded bumpers look excellent, but mine is two tone, not just a single body colour.

Cheers

Thanks Adam,

You must think I'm a totally dumb ass deekhead.

Of course, my car as you know is white over grey. 002/028

I can't find the pic we did in photo shop, but my mate is looking for it on his PC, but we left the black to coincide with the black side strips and coloured the bottom of both bars the same grey and to me it looks pretty good and I think it will look better with the stock DR body kit done in the grey as well.

Each to their own I suppose, it would be very bland if they all looked the same eh!

But due to the rarety of my PNV I am keeping with the stock colours.

Cheers.

My side mirrors are chrome from factory!!

Dennis my car is white over black and my bumpers are black and it looks ok, but if i was having the car all the one colour it would have black bumper still, and i beleive that the car never came with that part of the skirt on it when he got the shell, hence its not there!

Neame's car looks sick as it is, looks tougher with Josh's wheels on it!!

Man its amazing theres a bodykit for a r30! Can someone give me some links to suppliers or something?

George,

We are talkin g about the factory body kit that comes standard on DR30 RS Turbo models, and it's nearly as hard to get as rocking horse sh!t.

Cheers,

Dennis

look in yahoo auctions there was a full set there last week and this aswell

i was thinking of buying the kit but i don't think it would stand out as well as it does on the green one above...

Your being unfair sen'ior.

I agree that all white like this looks very BLAND, but my ideas of colour coded bumpers is a lot different to this.

My car is 002 white over 028 grey and the door moulding is black.

What I propose is that the door mouldings and top of bumpers stay black and below this is 028 grey with all 002 white above.

Cheers

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
