try this guy,

jeff, nis-power on 5559-2222, he's in carrara just off the high way.

i know he might have most of what you need,

the rear calipars are the same as the MR30 aus version, he'll have second hand brake cables, if you want new ones i know a place just across from harbour town that will make them for $55 each.

I have an MR30 Hatch just about to go to the TIP and it has a complete stock HR30 rear end if your interested.

[Adam_RSX]

any idea on what freight to Adelaide would be on the rear arms to Adelaide? I've bent something, possibly the rhs rear arm

[Ghostrider]

Don't know Adam, but RSX84 suggests Pioneer Coaches might be pretty cheap if your interested.

I just listed the complete body as the body/engine number holds an engineers report for a/mkt turbo application.

PM me if your interested in this or me acquiring lower control arms hear as any hatch is identical to yours.

Hey Ghostrider,

What diff do you have there and how much do you want for it?

RSX84,

Whats the name of the place near Harbour Town for the hand brake cables?

Cheers

Hey Ghostrider,

What diff do you have there and how much do you want for it?

It's only an R180 Open Diff 3.9:1, I kept the 3.9:1 LSD for a spare, but it may go up for grabs a bit later, but you would need to get in line for any R200 LSD on this forum. They can't be bought for less than a grand these days as they are getting very rare. The R180 if you want it has only done 60k so keep me informed.

The decision to scrap it will be made this weekend, so the rear calipers & handbrake cables etc will be available, if you don't get new ones in the mean time.

Cheers,

Dennis

Adam,

I'm not leaving this body sit here forever, if no one takes up the offer by Saturday it's going.

If you want the rear arms let me know and you can have 'em.

Cheers,

Dennis

Yeah that would be great, I was just going to keep quiet about it as I'd rather see someone take the entire car off your hands and rebuild it than take a few bits off it and scrap it, but if no-one buys it the arms, particularly the rhs would be useful to me.

Is the bit that bolts the diff onto the shell the same on a wagon as my coupe? I may have bent that, I pushed the car backwards out the shed and while that exaservated the toe out on the right rear (its jacked the car up on that side pretty much) the left rear wheel has pushed out at the back a bit, so either I was running toe in on the back before I smacked the right side, and its that toe in which is making the left wheel pop out a bit when I pushed it backwards, OR I've knocked the diff across... I didnt think that was possible, especially given that it wasnt an overly hard 'crash' (hairpin on a dirt/gravel road, swung out slightly too far and put the right rear into the dirt embankment on the side of the road) but atm it looks like the left wheel is sitting out, right wheel is sitting in, though it could just be the result of the current alignment and me pushing it backwards

[OLD SCHOOL R30]

Dennis,

I dont mind that its an open wheeler. Im realy just chasing one incase mine goes BANG. I found the rear calipers but I might still need those handbrake cables. Just name the price as I have to get my car back on the road, I'm having major withdrawls from not driving it.

Thanks again

[Ghostrider]

The R30 Van/Wagon has a different rear end set up entirely to our coupes, it has a live rear axle as well.

The bit your talking about??? is it the diff support, looks a bit like a spring or the cross member the trailing arms mount to???

Maybe you have bent the 2 posts the rear support slides on to or sheered some bolts off, as thats the only way I could see the diff moving.

But I shipped a complete rear end assembly for about $70 along with a couple of gearboxes etc to Adelaide a couple of years back and freight rates are only about $50/tonne. The rear end would be cubic, but still I can't see it costing that much.

Are bits that hard to get over there in SA.

Cheers,

Dennis

I havent looked yet, was waiting until I had a running engine in it, might go see whether the local wreckers have any 5 door R30's

[Boof]

U Pull it have R30's adam, im prolly going to go for a looksie this weekend, i need some stuff for my car, i'll suss something if you want

[Adam_RSX]

That'd be great if you could have a look while you're there

[DR JOSH]

There is a hatch at lonsdale u-pull-it with 90,000km on the clock . In absolutely mint condition apart from parts I and everyone else have stolen off of it, along with a very slighty pushed in bonnet.

[Boof]

That'd be great if you could have a look while you're there

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What exactly are you after for a start before i head out there????

[Adam_RSX]

Just want to know if they have rear arms and the bit the arms bolt on to... may have bent an arm, may have bent the brackets

The bit the arms bolt on to is the rear cross member. The pivot points are welded to the cross member.
