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:

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.

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!!!

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,

      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
