Are you on or in the mix for the KHR30 on eBay?

It's sitting on $1250 at present and will sell for far less than your high of $3000.

There aren't a lot of these getting about in some reasonable condition and as it's complete, you could sell off what you don't want. Recently an L20ET complete sold on eBay for over $600.00.

Cheers, D

Well done Mister30, or is congratulations a more appropriate term?

You open a thread here 20th January 2009 with a request;

"Want an r30 coupe rollin shell with no engine and no gearbox but must have diff and wheels any where under 3 grand" UNDER 3 Grand???????

Then on 21st January 2009 you respond with;

"na mate got all the runnin gear just really want a coupe not to fussed on condish but any help much apreciated so if anyone is wrecking one or something but has the entire shell" .................. and,

Then on 23rd January 2009 you reply again with;

"Hey guys im really open to any suggestions so if you see one on google no of one on ebay or got one lying out in your backyard post up some pics and let me see" .............. and after several recommendations to go chase a coupe on eBay that most certainly will fall into your under 3 grand price bracket and after contacting the seller, you fail to go through with the purchase and the vehicle goes under the hammer for $2225.00 a long way short of your 3 grand ceiling. What's more, another member of this forum from Melbourne, now residing in Canberra was collecting bits to help you with your project and you didn't go on with that offer either.

What's the go? You ask for help and when you get it, you do nothing about it?? Are you just another GUNNA or simply another time waster???

You wont be scoring too many points on this forum with this attitude.

That'd be me who bought up the white coupe the second time it went around, hope I didn't tread on any toes. I've been lusting after an R30 coupe for years but it wasn't until the other day that the stars were aligned.

Congratulations!

You got yourself a steal in a lot of our eyes and bad luck for the dill that asked for our help and did nothing about it.

They are a dying breed in this country, any sort of HR30 JDM vehicle.

I was thinking about it myself, but my next project if it goes ahead will be an 260Z +2.

You can be assured that if and when you want any information or help and assistance, there is a wealth of experience and resources in this "Classic Skyline" section.

I'm sure we all would be interested in it's progress over time.

Cheers, D

Cheers for the warm welcome. I'm a long time r30 fan but first time owner (did own a 4dr R31 Passage for a while though) so its gone to enthusiastic hands- should be a fun project, I'll keep you all posted when anything interesting happens :) .

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
