Just thought i may aswell add my name here aswell

1983 RMR30 (Hatch) Ti

still runing fine at 320000 kms so im not complaining.. I have the original workshop manual direct from nissan so if theres anything specific anyone needs from it just drop me a pm.. unfortunately it doesnt cover the FJ20 models however i do have part of it on my site in the technical section.

I dont really come on here too much so i really only check out the SA thread.. ahh i havnt had too much time to work on the site but im just making up a spec sheet at the moment.. not too sure what else i should add information wise.. but if ya have any ideas.. id love to hear em.. i could probably find most information in the manual.

with the manual you have cyrius does it cover the oz version or the jp, with your site may be some where to post dyno results on the different engines, there seems to be a few r30 owners comtimplating the rb20det transfer may be some helpful hints for that??

thats a great idea, we should get in touch with rezz from k's online garage they export things from jp to oz and my be able to get some of these things, the only thing is the cost to transport things from there to here is high, they do by kilos, i worked out one of the r30 exhausts would cost something like 300 to ship.

id love to get my hands on some of the stuff on that site.. but my wallet isn't really feeling to good yet.. so I won't b able to join in the group buy.. ahhwell.. maybe next time if you ever want to do it again.

Oh yea BTW the workshop manual covers all Australian, Hong Kong, and other delivered R30's covering the L18, L20B, L24, and L24E engines.

I don`t think there is an R30 exhaust on the K`s Online Garage site.

Actually, the Jenesis R31 Cat-back exhaust would be about A$216 to ship...

just using it as an example Rezz didnt mean to reflect on you and your own, why'll your here through, Do you do dealings with other places such as r30.co.jp, its just that i car'nt even translat the email they sent to join the club let alone begin to order stuff.

Yes mate, I deal with all their Jenesis gear, aswell as most of the R30.co.jp stuff. I say "most of" because some of the stuff is pretty expensive, and if I told you the price including freight you'd laugh at me...

it seems to be the big killer with the r30 imports, with freight i know as i recently imported something that weighted 1.1kgs and that was $54 to send.

Mmmm... I guess people should give a little more leeway for freight costs if they are after something fairly unique from Japan...

in terms of fairly unique this 260km/h dash cluster shouldnt weight more than the one i allready have should it.

Yeah, give or take a few grams...

They want 45,000-odd yen for a 260km/h speedo to buy one outright, or they charge about half that to exchange your one for one of theirs.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
