Howdy guys,

 

Been a member for a while but never posted.I found a reasonable condition(Runs, Drives, starts and stops) MR30 here in Adelaide, South Australia.

 

I need help on identifying what year , model and any other information that would help.

 

The guy has had it 11 year's and wants to part ways with it. Its a matching numbers car as far as I'm aware but unsure if it has the usual L24 in it. Doing some of my own research they came out with many different engine variations. I know its not a Ti either, but any information would help.

 

How much would it be worth ball park?

 

Are these getting harder to find? If so why?, I've had one in the past but don't see them anymore.

 

Hope Ive explained myself well enough.

 

Cheers

Kelman

In all reality, because it is nothing special, and it is really old, and it is in a moderate state of disrepair, it's not worth much. Cars like that are often exchanged for six pack sized sums, or for the value of the remaining rego, if it had any. So start your bidding at the low hundreds, at the very most.

I wouldn't know how to tell an Exec from a Ti in that era of car, without knowing that the Ti might have certain trim or equipment that the Exec doesn't. Nothing really to tell from those photos. And really, it's would not make any difference anyway. I'm assuming you don't want it for the way it is now. You'd be wanting to clean it up inside, new seat covers or seats, etc. If the Ti had a different (better) intermittent wiper setup over the Exec, then both are really old and crude compared to modern cars anyway, so who's going to be able to tell the difference anyway. Aftermarket stereo gets rid of another possible difference. Different trim strips, badges or mudflaps are another who cares? factor. None of it makes any difference now.

Cheers mate I had one back in the day when I got my licence over a decade ago.... I've always liked them and I love my 31's but I haven't seen a 30 for sale for awhile or even on the road.... God knows why?!?.

Looks super cool regardless. Love the '30's

I'm not suggesting you don't buy it. If that's your particular sickness, go right ahead. I was just saying that for the vintage that they are, and the lack of them being particularly desireable to many (any?) people, they don't have any reason to demand more than beer money. On top of that, the difference between a Ti and a base model might be exactly nothing at all in real terms, after 35 years have gone by.

So chuck a pineapple or two at him and then try to find some headlights. Could keep you busy for years!

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By sonicii · Posted

      As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
