MicksR30

Hey, if you have the takemon bits spare, would you be interested in selling them? I have an MR30, and want a takemon front end. are the gaurds any diferent to MR30?

Cheers for the tips, havent tried them yet, im sort of thinking about leaving my car auto for now, and saving up for another one.

The PN bits going into the hatch is just the turbo induction/exhaust systems, and ECU & loom. I have bought a T3 off an FJ20DET that's also going on in place of the L20ET turbo, as the exhaust housing is nearly double the size. The induction system already has some type of adjustable boost valve in it that will be transferred. It will then become an L24ET all legit, engineered etc, and full Ti spec, incl 2 way power sunroof. In addition, 40mm lowered 200 lb/in custom (Jumboz) rear springs, 50mm lowered 240/250 lb/in custom (Jumboz) front springs, 24mm (Selby/Whiteline) front sway bar, new adjustable Koni's all round. Probably include Z32 front seats with all electric, fully adjustable driver's seat, /, /, <, >, /. Short shifter (throw length 20mm shorter) 2.5 inch exhaust system. SAAS sports steering wheel, imported Hot Plate tail lights The package will include a type 1 BOV, but won't be fitted. It will be on the market registered for about $4000.00. Will be sold with current dyno graphs, spare tail gate/hatch, and some other spares. No intercooler! but I expect it to have about 140/150Kw Colour: Red with grey interior, they never came this way in Oz, were all red with brown interior. Hmmm. import taillights. i like the sounds of that car. How hard do you think it would be to get that registered in SA? would it just be a straight forward rego swap? NSW to SA? how far from completion is it? im looking at buying another car around June-July (Tax return). please keep me informed about the hatch because im interested. Is the hatch the same wheelbase as the Sedan? would it weight much more? Whats happening to your Paul Newman skyline? Ohh. and will the hatch have an LSD? What condition is the body in?

Nah, i found a link on a datsun site, www.grandautowreckers.com they had something saying that they were wrecking r30's. i wrote to them, they replied saying that they do have a manual. I tried to get more info, and they havent replied. I like youre idea, and i have no problems with paying your mate's some labour. Although, im now thinking that it might be a better idea, if i buy a complete car (Manual) and do the conversion as straight swap. then i can see what needs to be done, and will have all the necicary parts on hand. You said that you are planning on putting the Paul Newman bits into your hatch, what are your plans for the wagon when your done? what happened to the PNV?

GODDAMMED BURECRATIC POLITICAL CRAP!!! they have ruined the Aussie R30's Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!.....ohh well, what side is the exhaust manufod on an RB20DET? im considering a conversion in the near future. Maybe just buy a jap imported DR30 or something.

Hmmm............ IM not to sure about cuting a new hole, id prefer the exhaust to still exit through the original cut out, cos i think having the cutout there, but no exhaust would look a bit odd.

Yeah, i forgot to mention that i still have the cold air induction. Still even though the extra air is under bonnet air, the origional cold air snorkel is hell restrictive. and it did make an improvement. Anyhow, there is pretty good airflow getting in from under the headlight, this would keep inlet temps down.

Found one Datsun wrecker in Adelaide on the Net, they said that they had them, tried contacting them, but got no reply. Would i need to change the gearbox crossmember and drive shaft too? is the clutch hydraulic or cable? and what about diff ratio's? Do you have, or could you get a rear disk set up? just the lower control arms, disks and calipers of an aussie hatch would be good. Might have to get in touch regarding the gearbox. Cheers, Mick.

ohh yeah, Josh, how much of an improvement was the exhaust? Do you still have the dodgy right angle bit at the back? I m planning on getting exhaust and extractors done soon and want to know how good they are. Do you think it would work if i had the exhaust cross diagonaly accross the car, so it can exit at the cutout, but without the 90 degree bend? If anyone has done this, please let me know Cheers again, Mick.

Hey Josh, I dont know of any R30's that had a live axel rear end, they were all made in Japan.and L24's have been around since the 60's i think, in 240z and 240c's. Ohh yeah, you want yours to go better, cut a big hole in the top of your airbox. makes a notable improvement, and sounds totaly nuts....hmmmm.induction noises. Ohh yeah, can anyone tell me what sort of diff is standard in the MR30 Ti? mine seems to spin both wheels sometimes, but mostly only single spinners. non LSD diffs can still spin both wheels in conditions cant they? And does anyone know of the Paul Newman for sale at the moment, i saw it in the trading post, and i want to know more about it. Also, if anyone has a manual MR30 that they re wrecking, i want a manual box, and all the gear necicary for a conversion from auto (Pedal assy. etc.) and a disk brake rear out of a hatch. Cheers, Mick.

The R31 lip that lowers itself is on the HR31 GTT and GTX (Are they the right models? or is it GTS and GTX?) Anyhow, the GTS-R has a rubber lower lip, maybe that is what you have on yours?

Hmmmm i like it, What would be involved in getting it rego?

What is your takemon 2 door? I want to know more, as i am looking for one now. Yeah, i was looking at the C-Red one. I think all of their cars come with rego? anyhow, i emailed them asking for info, but they havent written back. Tell me more about your DR, I live in Whyalla, so i would prefer to buy from the same state. As youree in Adelaide, i dont have to travel so far.

Hey all, interesting thing happened to me the other day. I was just driving along kind off sensibaly (Kind off), when all of a sudden, my car was making a horrible grinding noise from under the bonnet. Very soon after (I pulled over as soon as i could) it had overheated. The problem turned out to be the water pump, the drive shaft had sheared in three places. Just thaught that it was kind of odd, breaking in thee places. Anyhow, if anyone has, or knows of a DR30 for sale, i am interseted. Also, what is the going price for one in good nick, with some mods? I have possibly found one for $13000, it had a bunch off trust gear, (BIG turbo, dont remember what model) front mount intercooler, three inch exhaust 50mm wastegate etc.) Also coilovers, and it is an ironmask. and four door. Build is '85'. Unsure of km's, waiting on more info. Is $13000 exxesive? Any help apprecciated, Mick. Ohh yeah, if anyone has a non injected skyline (L series motor) I have an injected heead, complete with ECU) if your interested let me know. (Also a auto trans (out of Aussie R30)) Cheers again, Mick.

Hey all, has anyone in here modified their Aussie R30? Im planning on getting extractors and a custom 2 1/2 inch. exhaust made soon. has anyone done this? if so, how much difference did it make? I already have a K&N panel filter in a modified air box. Also, does anyone have a manual R30 that they want to sell chaep? I just want the necicary parts to convert my auto to manual. and, does anyone have a R30 wagon that they are wrecking? I want the disc brake rear. And finaly, i want some Jap spec taillights, anyone have any for sale?
