r30 skylines

[stu_r30]

well when i mounted my vg30 i had to 'tweak' the oil line , cant remember which one cause it was hitting something.

as for the tacho yeah i read somewhere (very specific arent i) that u need to put a resistor in somewhere to alter the signal

may have been PF...."how to recalibrate r31 speedo" or sumthin

[rsx84]

get this, i posted ages ago about my diff and what the diff was doing??? after a week of f#$king around with it, i find out its the hand brake thats the problem, the passenger side cable has been crushed and when you put it on it stays on so while driving i've had the rear brake on, doh, so now she goes alot harder!!

a mate at work told me about the need for speed forum the other day as someone there has created a dr30 to race in the pc version but found this as well. onyone know the side skirts at all?

The body kit is from JENESIS, www.r30.co.jp the front bar is identical to the one I have here in OZ that I plan to make in small numbers. The side skirts cost an arm and a leg to get here to OZ, so that moulds could be made to reproduce them locally.

The rear view car has the STOCK DR30 body kit, found on most RS-X models, same as the Peter Jackson cars had in the late 80's.

I am making enquiries on how to get them, or maybe modifying R31 or R32 ones to fit, so that I could market a complete body kit for R30 Skylines, strictly on a limited basis, after all, we don't want them all the same. :ghost:

RSX,

They look a little different to the JENESIS skirts.

Do you remember where you found the pic?

If so! email him/the site and ask some questions, or PM me the site and I will do the chasing for you. :ghost:

[rsx84]

just through in the night pic as it looked cool, is the side skirt you posted the jenesis one?

[tomj]

will these DR30 bars / skirts et all bolt to a HR30?

[Ghostrider]

ALL R30 Parts are interchangeable. The DR struts bolt in, same lower ball joint & control arm, guards, bonnets, etc, everythings the same, that's why we are chasing them.

The only changes are coupe doors don't fit on sedans, unless you want to cut them in half, but if it comes off a coupe, HR, or DR, it don't matter, if it's sedan, fits another sedan. etc, etc, etc.

[tomj]

Friend has entire DR30 cut with no use for the panels......

[Ghostrider]

That's cool! but how much does he want for it and which panels?

Also! is it an "Iron Mask" front like yours.

On the eastern states we have to factor in freight and that won't be cheap.

Let us know some prices.

hey guys, im thinking of putting together a 30's page? what you reckon worth it or not?

i mean i am going to set up a page for my car regardless, but then i was thinking there is no definitive r30 info resource....

if you guysthink it'll work, let me know and i'll start getting info etc

cheers

[tomj]

He has entire iron mask front cut - all he wanted was engine box as spares - the rest i can buy.

Mine skyline isnt a iron mask but my avatar is

hence why i want to buy the stuff

As for prices i shall wait and see.

[tomj]

Well actually , i hope i can - i should really ask and not assume - ill get back to to you all on this

Well if your doing one up for your 'line, you might as well do up a r30 site, as there are very limited english sites dedicated to the mighty r30's, particularly ones with useful info..

Quick note though didnt we lose a lot on this forum due to some computer glitch. As if i remember it was quite useful.

Good luck

mostly suspension stuff but there seems to be even better info on this here now! if you do a google aus search you can get a few sites but most are for sale sites or small write up in larger stories, any info i've found is years old and has'nt been updated in the last few years at least!!

http://www.jaustech.com.au/general.htm

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~robs/kevspage.htm

these are the only sites in english that i got any info from, the rest are japanese and when translated make even less sence!!!

[Ghostrider]

Robs/Kevs page is fairly informative and Rob's car is still under development. And the site will probably be upgraded when it goes back on the road again, but he hasn't done the brake conversion we have on this site, he hasn't done the body conversions, or suspension, mostly his mods are of standard available parts as opposed to Jap import TRICK BITS.

AND >>>>> SIDE SKIRTS >>>>> Might have the Jenesis ones here in a few months, so we can see what I can organise for copies.

RSX,

Your Avatar, IS IT YOUR CAR????

cool, i'll be doing it in my spare time, which is a fair bit...
