280zx_nz Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 On the hunt for a DR grill, those HR30 "honey comb" grills really are quite foul. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nice. Japan is chock full of surplus DR30 uglyfront grilles. You guys are welcome to them, I'll stick with Iron Mask goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280zx_nz Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have one. . . . .somewhere? Think its in storage 380kms away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh right, all good. Just if you need one I think there's still one kicking about here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Meh, i'm over iron masks now. Can keep it Ouch, that hurt. Anyway, this is progressing at a greater rate of knots than I'd ever hope to achieve with my DR sedan. Kudos! How well does the factory abacusECU cope with all of the bolt-on goodies, anyway?

280zx_nz Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Abacus is a pretty bad example.....abacus has more processing power. Not too bad actually, solid AFRs of around 12. Still slow as fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 hey dude if you decide to use 3.5" on the exhaust just be aware you will lose a heap of ground clearance and 3.5" mufflers are expensive and usually hard to find. Twin 2.5 inch thru middle of car works good with last two bends in 3.5 inch to a edelbrock muffler at back is cost effective and sounds very meaty. Ran this exact system on my 300zx cost me 350 bucks all up. Was a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'd be quite interested to see if that R31 spoiler ends up looking good on the back of the R30. Considered buying one for my sedan. Scott/brdflu and I had a few discussions in his thread about the very same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx_nz Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 ....Its off a R31? was advertised as being for a R30 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n149329656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flauski Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 From memory / experience I hope your engine builder knows L series oil galleries well. I had this same procedure done to a l28 to fit my front sumped 240k. The engine builder I used (built Don McLean's engines and the bottom end of samurai 240z) said it was relatively tricky to ensure the boss is drilled to enter the oil gallery and you only get one shot at it. It didn't cost much to get the pro to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup it was done properly....However, I done this mod to a L28 last week and lets just say.......alcohol+drilling the hole, not such a good idea lawl!! must have been a pocket of rust or cast imperfection, went through the side of the block in one section, plenty of meat around it though. Pre heated the area and welded it at a very high setting, cleaned up with tungsten burr and its good as new! Going to be painting bits n pieces off the engine this weekend and hopefully will be back in this week coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
