Like ant says, there was just lots of little things to be done that i couldn't be stuffed doing, and didn't have the money too! Might buy it back off him in a couple of years LOL. Will probably be getting a series v rx7. Aint got no car at the moment, it sucks!

Hey RSX does that really work using the mount off an R31, I didnt bother and have got the measurements drawn up for a custom jobby. but if thats the trick wahoo. Another quick question did you do an aircon conversion and if so how much did it set you back. Oh and pwr steering did you use the old pump or go with the new one.

i dont know 100% if it will or not with the r31 mount, i had one made before i giot this other info, but have herd it from a few pp's now, not going to bother with the a/c as id have to put a new codencer in, but was very tempted to try to wire in the climate control system that came with the halfcut :) , power steering i'm not 100% if i'll be using that as there is no set up for it on the car but have the other r30 to pip it out of, will talk to my machanic about it to see if the r32 pump will work as its still on the engine!! if we can use the r32 pump then its custom plumbing??

why my x-mem was changed was due to the r32 radiator being used as the engine was pushed back right to the fire wall, theres also a new tailshaft used and was then able to use the r32 b/m/s, joys of getting all this extra stuff in a halfcut.

if you want remove the dash display find the tacho wire and wire it to the tacho pin in the r32 ecu this (i've been told by a sparky) will work. its the speedo that is the problem for me?

Hey, I'm looking at buying a new set of struts for my 1984 Paul Newman HR30 skyline and need some help.

Are the shocks on the Paul Newman HR30 the same as the ones that are available for the Aus model 1984 R30? I mean can i order say... Konies for the aus model and they will bolt straight in or are there slight variations in the mounting?

How much do you think i would be paying for a set of new konies to suit?

:D Thanks

Also, i want to get an intercooler for my HR30 at some point and want some prices. I'm not sure what to get, i've got an offer for a GT-r intercooler for like 800 but i think it is a little bit over the top and i don't have loads of money to spend. Do you have any sugestions rsx?

i'm hoping for around 1 bar... maybe less i don't know but i need more power asap.

Cheers

Not alot to report on my car on this side of the fence for this week, just 1/2 i've started doing the water lines for the new turbz...My mate just went back to work so cooler pipes and what not will get done rather quickly i *hope*...Then still waiting for panels :D

PhatMR30 if you want 4 wheel disc brakes, just go and swap the rear swing arms with ones that have the disc brakes...Its easy as!!

R30_turbo saw u drive past the park on shakespear avenue yesty...Looking the goods :D As for coolers, i got mine from JMS (well my mate got the turbo and cooler as a package from JMS and i bought it off my mate), i think its designed for an R32 or something like that, cause its not a straight in and out cooler, the out pipe crosses back over the top..Hard to explain but yeah you'll c one dauy when the POS is back on the road!

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
