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

    • ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
    • Set of R33 GTST Calipers, Rotors and Pads. Calipers just taken off my car, rebuilt about ~30,000km ago. Rotors have done about ~20,000km total since new. Pads have plenty of meat. One set is DBA XP (road, hills) and the other set is Forza FR6 (track) Still working perfectly, not rusted, or seized or whatever the hell that greets used brakes. All clips, bolts, retainers, slide pins etc included. Also have OEM handbrake shoes I can throw in there if you're doing a conversion. $650 for the lot, SE Suburbs Melboune/VIC
    • I feel I have covid right now. I spent the time between Dec 21 and Jan 31 pretty much working 16 hour days on the car after it got back from paint. It turns out you generate a long list of "things to do" while the car is off the road but functional. After going to visit my mate for a "Couple of hour job" doing the brakes, 3 full days later I got home There was more on the list, (it got added to while sleeping on couches) but as everything on the list got enthusiastically crossed out as it happened, I've actually forgotten what they were. From memory there were bushes that had to be pressed in and out, washer jets to fit, etc. Some Gregging highlights: 1) The panel shop covered up my washer jets and painted over it. Good job, I think. We had to drill the new bonnet to fit new ones, which was understandably extremely scary. 2) My handbrake on the RHS is f**ked. After never adjusting it forever and learning on the fly, this one is still on my to-do list. It tightens when you pull the lever, but at about 10% of the tension that the passenger side does. Thoughts on what causes this would be great. 3) Pouring an entire liter of brake fluid over the reservoir because I forgot how to use my pressure bleeder. DON'T PUT FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. IT WORKS BY USING PRESSURIZED AIR NOT PRESSURIZED FLUID.   471907729_9242915229093447_2708910336906717367_n.mp4  I can confirm the vents work great though. 4) Some of the bodykit fixings were f**king awful. I'm talking screwed in with what was at most a 2mm screw, and could flap the kit around by hand. Too many others to mention. They came in, went out of my brain forced by other stupid tiny things that came up and "While the car is on the damn hoist we can fix them" which was a mission in and of itself, because the car has skirts and is thus a pain to put on hoists. Because we had to buff the windscreen to get rid of the overspray, I also had to very gently wash the car. The "Run 3 wires" task was to re-attempt another gregging thing which was: The LS1 ECU in Australia does not have oil pressure wiring because the Commodores do not have a 'real' oil pressure switch The Corvettes in the USA do have oil pressure wiring because Corvettes have a real oil pressure switch. The ECU is the same physical ECU. So what I could do is pull the ECU apart, run 3 more pins and run it to the OEM oil pressure ECU, and the ECU should do this. What actually happened is that Greg did this with some not-so-proper-wiring/connectors to the ECU pins which 'might?' be okay put the car back together, and then the fuel pump wouldn't prime. So you can imagine I immediately undid all this work, put the ECU back into it's original configuration, thought I'd do some more research about what connectors the LS1 Ecu actually uses... and try again later. Except still no fuel pump prime. After a lot of sadness and checking/double checking it turns out it was the relay in the boot that controls the fuel pump. All I did was switch the trigger wires and it worked fine. I looked at the relay and it was covered in bog dust and was unknown years old. It's since been replaced and working fine. After I got the actual connectors, and the wires were ran I gathered my strength and repinned the ECU and Voila! I apologize for these MMS  472164532_8829400773820369_5410969472548349643_n.mp4  And even via ODB2 on the headunit, woo. Now Torque Pro can raise hell on track if it gets too low. It has a wonderful EMERGENCY_DISTRESS_SINGAL style warning if it goes below a certain threshhold. 472585876_9345134268844369_146554337148747327_n.mp4 TLDR: Car great. HFM kit works. So much cleaning. Buy my old stuff. Thanks.   
    • That's a hell of a question right there and so broad that you could get 100 different answers and have them all be correct.  To avoid me typing up a 2000 word thesis that doesn't answer your question, do you have specific things you are unsure of? Does the car currently handle in a way that you don't like? Or is it closer to, you think the car drives fine currently. But you'd like it to be better, but you don't know what that 'better' is or what that 'better' feels like?
