Hey everyone a mate put me into an MR30 hatch last weekend i was going to buy for spare parts..anyway i got a mate to go pick it up through the week and finally has a look at it last night. and am very happy with parting with $650 cash it came with 2 VG30 turbo motors minus turbos, a wolf ECU, The rear end has been modifyed and now runs a Z32 LSD diff and drive shafts that were all rebuilt before selling it has RX7 calipers and larger slotted discs, as i am in the middle of a complete rebuild on my MR30 sedan i think there parts will be very handy my brother is taking the VGs and we are going to put them in he's old hilux!! do many people run a short nose diffs in there R30s?

I will have have it completly striped by the end of the weekend will take pics as i go.. its a sliver hatch was apprentlly used as a drift car? judging by some of the enngeering work that has gone into it i would say it was a backyard job ill post a pics over the weekend, ecpescially of the engine mounts before i take the motor out they are good for a laugh!! only got it cause it was ment to have an open wheel R200 long nose but ill take the LSD short nose conversion if i have too!! the only thing i think i will have to change is the tail shaft, i run a sedan with an RB25DET and matching gearbox and this had a VG30 and VG 5speed, seeming as its a car nothing ever goes smoothly! but im happy to get a new shaft made. ill take some pics of hatch and ill post some pics of my sedan while im at it..

Cheers Alan

      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
