It does have IRS. It runs the R180.

Hi,

Looks in good condition. Most R30's I've seen are either 3sp auto or 5sp manual. Are the grill and tail lights the same as other ('series 1') R30's? 

Approx 337,000 kms (I have to check that)

How many kms has it done?

What's the condition of the interior and seats?

Hi.

It has done 348,000kms, but starts and runs very clean. It always starts on petrol and then goes to LPG. The body is pretty damn straight, and the paint is better than my own car!

Rear lights are the same as series 1 but overall there are a number of small mechanical and electrical differences between the two series. This is definitely 4 speed with converter lockup, so it is a fairly late box.

Interior is reasonable with the usual scratches and stuff, but the heater control panel looks like brand new. If I could, I would swap it with mine but mine has been modified too much. The seats are ok but could do with a bit of TLC if you were going to keep the car for a while.

I actually just put some Autotechnica seats in mine from Repco. Got them on special at $300 for the pair!

Nice R30 there Rob, unfortunatly the asking price for these old birds are pretty sad these days. i couldnt sell my MINT hatchback for $2000 last year, and that included about another $2000 in spare parts (as well as a full turbo setup, manifilds, injectors the lot).

Most commonly they go for $500 or so, give or take.

the Import L20et powered 4 door HR30 sold for about $2500, that was a record high price so far!

Sorry this is off-topic, but those seats sound interesting. Did they bolt on to the existing rails? Any problems fitting them?

Now back to it... a very nice 4-speed auto, series 2 MR30 is up for sale...

I believe I am being realistic as a couple of friends in the auto industry have actually said it should have been a higher asking price. The proof will come regardless one way or another when/if it gets sold.

As an aside I have been offered over $12k for mine, but just do not want to part with it.

I made up new mounts using 25mm (high) X 40mm (wide) tubing and mounted the runners directly to them. The drivers seat is now a bit too high so I will replace the back tubing with a bit of 10mm X 30mm bar to try to tilt it back.

I'll try to get some photo's to upload but I'm not sure this is the forum for that. Let me know where I should post it.
