You should be able to get $1200 for it easy! As long as the inside's in good nick,as that's the most important bit,I reckon.

Yep engine brace would be a good idea as well!! Just checked R30.co.jp and there is some interesting stuff on there in wouldn't mind! Like i said all depends on what sorta $$ we are looking at for it all!!

interior isnt brilliant, but the cage makes up for that

roof lining is like new

dash is 90%

carpet is 80%

seats are a little worse for wear.

$1200 is pretty cheap for your car though Tom, it would cost more then that just to respray the whole car!! Have u advertised it a whole heap?????

havnt really advertised it as im not really happy about selling

its in the for sale section

respray cost me close to that

but i need the coin

oh well

put it like this

add freight of 600 odd

for less then 2k you have an immaculate rolling hr30 shell with new paint

chasis is straight as too.

JENESIS PARTS

Due to the conversion cost of our dollar to the yen and considering Japanese freight/postage is about the dearest about, I believe all the engineering parts can be made here cheaper than they can be sourced from Jenesis.

The 2 door roll bar, I had a quote last month for just under $400.00 for it made from Chrome-molly tube. The front & rear strut braces & floor brace could be made here cheaper. The semi rigid sway bar mounts I am making here out of ROSE joints, cheaper. The adjustable and stronger caster bars I have sourced locally, cheaper than from Jenesis.

They really haven't got anything new, that hasn't been done here before, get onto your local rally guys that have worked with daddo 1600's and a lot of these parts are interchangeable from them.

Don't be SUCKED in by URATHANE BUSHES, they all aren't the best. The pivot points should be left rubber and others like rear cross member bushes and Diff support, caster bar bushes can be urathane.

People like Pedders recommend urathane cause they buy them for $1.00 and sell them for $20, where as rubber might cost them $14/15 and they sell for $20.

Body parts ... Side steps, badges, 260K speedo etc, could be a good thing, particularly if they CAN NOT be sourced or made here.

I am trying to source all of the engineering parts here, before I think about paying for the Jenesis parts. Go out and ask your engineering shops, take the pics off the site and ask, you might be surprised what you find.

My coil over springs are made to Jenesis specs, but made locally by ALLSPRINGS at Liverpool NSW for $115.00 pair. Jenesis spec F & R sway bars I have had made here for under $300.00 each, complete with urathane bushes. It was Jenesis where I found the BNR32 GTR front brake conversion, and that can be done here cheaper than Jenesis parts only price.

Just have to get off your butt and go looking.

Teflon lined, s/s braided street legal brake lines for $99.00 pair, made to order.

are the RS badges on the front LH + RH guards just stuck on there?? or do they have little pins on the back which are fixed into the guards?? just wanting to know as one of mine is cracked, so I will take them off and replace them with GT badges off a R33. I did want to keep it original, but $70 each badge is a bit steep I think!

hm so would that floor brace thing work well or would a rear strut brace do the same thing? i have a front one but wouldnt mind rear too if i can get it made up over here for cheap.

engine damper would be cool though coz my engine wobbles a bit, would be nice to get a damper for it. if they could be had around $250 or less id probly be interested.

boj01,

The R/S badges have 2 vertical pins, primarily as locator pins as they are held on by the usuall black double sided tape, and I would be surprised if the R32 & 33 badges would cover.

Where you get $70.00 each for new badges?

[ant]

Regarding the braces, I am putting in both. Making mine out of chrome-molly for strength & weight, but should be able to get them made from steel & powder coat cheap enough. Go and talk to your fabrication shops, sheet metal workers, light engineering etc.

And the damper! go talk to your local bike shop, motor bike shocks are available in a large range of lengths and compression/extension options. I found a Spax model that would do the job admirably, I think it comes off a 50 or similar for my RB.

Ok. A mate pointed out to me that my tail lights werent working last nite, so I checked all the fuses and found nothing (what a prick to check as I cant read Japanese and had to check all 20 of them). Checked the connections in the boot and a plug had disconnected itself so I connected it again and now the tail lights work, but not my brake lights! Any suggestions???

[Ghostrider] - I found that these are available through Hornsby Nissan a while back, do you think $70 is cheap or expensive??

If we can get a hook into Jenesis, there's are about $35.00 + frt/postage.

I would think $70.00 is a bit rich.

And I would wait a while to see if we can get something going with Option 1 Garages in Brisbane to get into Jenesis.

Re your brakes: Globes more than likely problem, but check brake light switch on pedal arm, but globes would be my choice. Get some quality ones, Phillips, Tungsram, or Narva PREMIUM, don't buy the shit at a garage.

Anyone know exactly what the 3 slat grilles are from?

Are they Jap only or would I be likely to find one in a wreckers here?

The 3 slat grille came in series 1, 81/82 Aussie Delivered POVERTY PACKS, sedans.

It was Ti sedans & hatchbacks that had the weave/milk crate/honeycombe effect between the slats.

And a 3 slat grille should be in some wrecking yards, but WHY???? would you want one, they look like sh!t. I got one here with TRUST on the middle slat, that must be worth a motsa eh!!! lol :(

does anyone have a 81/82 poverty pack r30 i mean the N/A version L24??

front strutbraces can be had from Whiteline, there is pleanty of places around that can make cages etc, a place in Hobart makes CAMS approved cages suitable for Targa Tas that can be removed and you wouldn't even notice it had a cage in it

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
