i got prices a little cheaper up here in qld,half cut it was im getting..at this stage,im going to ask my performance worx shop in brisso what i might be able to do to the j24 r30 stock engine,head work valves etc see what might be easier,i got a strong 5 speed which is the original one,im saving up and then i'll make my decision about the engine swap...some might say is it worth it,just buy a later 88 model or save for a r32,33 nah old skool for me,its rare and in its own catergory..

yeah a rb25det conversion sould be tight and a handful but should fit..

best way to go is the L28E, to begin with the extra capacitry helps if anything.

i have seen these with a cam, bigger injectors, ported manifold, XF falcon throttle body, and motec. putting out 250hp and thats running a dizzy still

sorry ppl's but my skyline just got sold,*hides under desk*sold the r30 in pretty good nick,stock motor 5 speed manual,for $500 YES $500 pretty good as the mags are off a 300zx and have 95% tread on em,am i disappointed YOU BET!! in dreading it,i had plans for her...but $$$ is tight and i have no way of getting her the 1200 k's it needs to get here from..

so yeah this topic was ABOUT info for MY car,but NOW IS SOLD (in process)$500 for 2.4 ltr 5 speed with 300 zx mags...its a sad day..

*cries*

later ya'll..

[Guest hoon69]

just found out 2day the car has been a failed purchase and is still mine,in a way im glad but i still need the $$$ i guess i might be getting her back up here and adding a vl3ltr to her with some tricky bits,lets wait and see though..

[stu_r30]

speaking of an rb30 swap

do these drop straight into the old r30 banger? or does the intake plenum hit the bonnet??

only asking cause i got a vl motor sitting at home ready for a turbo conversion into the r30

[Guest hoon69]

well i have been told to drop one in ,and never got told of any problems,turbo hey,im going N/A for the moment but wait and see..*project CONFIDENTIAL*lol..

[stu_r30]

keep us posted on how shes coming along

love hearing about old skylines with mods

[cyrius]

This is a little bit off topic.. but i picked up the nicest deal today.. the entire Model R30 Series Service Manual direct from Nissan.. a few hundred pages worth.. for a mear 40 bucks... .. im cheering.

[stu_r30]

good score

i may be asking for a few pages to be scanned from it in the not too distant future

[Guest hoon69]

yeah its becoming a on and off deal one minute i get someone wanting to buy her then its off,so i decided at XMAS im picking her up,(as i have the motor organised for the swap)and plan to keep her a sleeper..i'll post more once it starts to get going..

Sure, If there is anything specific that you want (and you can be very specific, if its not writtin in black & white in this book then the info doesnt exist, its amazing)

I'll be rewritting and uploading a few things to my site.. the 1 in my signature thing.. eventually.. but I havnt got alot of time at the moment but I will try my best.

yeah i'll prolly be after some wiring diagrams or sumthin

dunno yet, will see what happens...

anyone here running an r200 be it LSD or nay, in their r30?

[rsx84]

stupid question No 1 , whats the easiest way to tell if its lsd or not. my car should by all rights have a r200 but i think the last owner taxed it, the thing is is that when the back end is off the ground theres drive only through one wheel, but when i hand spin it on the passenger side both wheels spin but when spinning the drivers side thats the only one that spins????

[stu_r30]

hmm...

thats a pickle

well how big is the diff...cause i spect it would still be runnin an r180 open centre

[funkymonkey]

have you guys thought of importing a DR30 for uber cheap from japan under the 15 yr rule and straight swapping the parts over, there's some pretty tricked out race cars out there.

[rsx84]

its an idea i thought of but most of us on the r30 thread want the same parts, front bars, gauge clusters and rims? think of the fights!!!

[funkymonkey]

well a mate of mine just brought in a DR30 that's worked off its nuts, virtually a weekend track car (he takes it to phillip island regularly) for 11 grand. Pretty cheap for a race spec car.
