Around 12.30pm. Mint green C210 sedan. Outbound on the Monash fwy. A rare sighting... JH

Hi, Have a look over here: http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?board=25.0 JH

Hi Marc, There are three R30 sedans and a hatch in Imlach's at the moment. Not sure if the bumpers are the type you want though. (It's a bit of a mess in there at the moment, too many wrecks getting bashed together while being moved around. Good panels one week and all damaged the next.) JH

Very nice. Are you painting below the door sills in black? What engine and gearbox is in the car? JH

Even better, search online http://www.jollysupullit.com.au/WebPage/WebPage.asp?Ref=6956 JH

The car's gone already (to Colac I think). I'm picking up the seats tomorrow, will ask about the scout group's contact details. JH

... waiting for the next episode... The final bid was $2000 more than the previous bid and also over the reserve - obviously someone in the know with a passion for old Skylines... Anyway it's a nice car that hopefully found a good home (or shed). JH

Final update: Car sold to the scouts (for an undisclosed price). Sounds like its destined for mud racing/autocross. Scouts didn't want the reupholstered seats so I've purchased them. JH

According to eBay, it sold for $5000. JH

BUT! The eBay auction is still running. If someone clicks 'Buy It Now' the owner is obligated to sell it to them. Likewise if someone bids over the reserve. Messy plot, Shakespeare's ghost must be writing this one. JH

Hi Dennis, Good luck with the bidding. The car seems to be in very good condition. The speaker fitment seems OK, far better than the one in SA. It looks to have ACT registration now, I heard it was a 'Sunday car'. The PNV owner in Adelaide has a spare engine. I think the car (and parts) are still for sale. JH

Hi, Just a few comments to help with the sale. The car looks really good but I think you need to publish heaps more images, especially; the interior, 'the usual' rust spots (to show there's no rust), pics of the improvements. If people aren't turning up to see the car, you might have to entice them with more pics. (Or, even better, a video - as GTR30 did when his car took a while to sell). Also, you may need to completely fix the engine problem or show that it can be fixed without too much expense. I guess it depends who you're pitching to. 'Lumpy cam and unusual ticking' sounds like you're aiming to sell to a mechanic. Other buyers may be looking for something fully restored and reasonably reliable that drives well. Good luck with the sale. If I wasn't so far south I'd at least go and have a look at it (and then I'd post the pics here). cheers, JH

Hi, I've seen rear window louvres on a sedan at the wreckers. The car's not there any more though. edit: (see pic - only shows part of them) JH

An update ... This car has been sold (for $1200). JH

Just wondering... Did you manage to get some extractors? What/where did you buy? JH

Hi mastadd, I assume Dennis is referring to you. Let me know if you can't get the fuel rail(s) on Sunday. I can go back to Centre Rd next week (away this weekend tho). cheers, JohnH

Hi, There are two MR30's at Imlach's in Centre Rd at the moment. Both have fuel rails. Took this pic today: JH

Hi, Pics of this car (some are in the Trading Post but these are higher resolution). They said someone from Melbourne 'almost' bought it for parts. (Anyone from here I wonder?). The pics show the doors have been patched and the D/S guard. Boot lid has rust. Odometer not working, estimated at 200000km according to the ad. JH

Hi, This link was posted a while back by 'alexunder'. http://xenons30.com/reference.html First link on that page is: Model L20A, L24 Series Engine Service Manual- Complete 10.9MB PDF It's an old manual but has pics of the timing chain and tensioner on several pages. JH

Hi, Noticed this today. http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/U...ber=TP003454809 136000km. Asking price $4000 (neg). Last one I saw advertised on eBay (located in Tassie) went for $2225. JH

Hi, Another vote for the removal of these drop down ads. They seem to be on the increase (Land Rover then Vodafone and now Foxtel). Nothing against advertising in general but these ads are overly intrusive. They do interfere with the running of the board. I've had the Add Reply and Preview Post buttons disappear when one of these ads was accidentally triggered (which is obviously how they are designed - to be triggered by accident). I've also had the ad block the loading of another page. There was an earlier suggestion to change the banner. An easy fix (I think) is to put another SAU logo (or some other static image) on the right hand side of the banner area. Then there's less chance of rolling over the ad when using the scroll bar. --- programming suggestion - look away if you don't like nerdy stuff: (banner section of the website code) <table width="100%"> <tr> <td width="25%"> (change width) <a href='http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forums.html'><img src='./style_images/sau_logo.gif' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:top' border='0' /></a> </td> <td> <script type="text/javascript"> GA_googleFillSlot("Skylines_internal_automotive_top_728x90"); (ad comes from here, complain to Google?) </script> </td> <td width="25%"> (put another logo on the right hand side - should force ad into the middle) <a href='http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forums.html'><img src='./style_images/sau_logo.gif' alt='IPB' style='vertical-align:top' border='0' /></a> </td> </tr> </table> --- cheers, JH

Hi Jon, Impressive collection. I imagine that heaps time, effort and $'s has gone into those cars. However... ... there's one missing. What about the other R30? JH

Hi, Previous discussion is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Dr...84-t311054.html JH

Hi Ricky, Check if this is the correct model. http://www.carbuddy.com.au/car/values/spec...mp;tid=32591373 JH
