Aww what a sad guy..hes an idiot!! your guys knowledge would of been invaluable and sounds like he just messed with it..its a shame how some people take advantage of others but at the end of the day, if he thinks hes running away laughing, hes actually lost a hell of a lot more, somewhere along the line something will come back and bite him on the bum I hope he hasnt shut you guys out from trusting/helping other ppl but i wouldnt be suprised if it has..

Hiya, do you still come on here..im just another kiwi with a PNV.

Heya..I just got some more details to add for my restoration project PP8534(plate) turbo ES type E-HR30 HR30-130521 HR30 JAT1LE engine L20 1998 color code 0132 This is a PauL Newman Limited Edition R30 GT ES sedan version well thats all the numbers my dad find under the hood.

Year:1984 Model:Paul Newman Limited Edition R30 GT ES Body type:4 door sedan Colour:Red

hi again..the paint work has faded..lost its lustre/sheen etc etc, could you recommend me a polisher that will bring it back nice and shiny again, the red is still there its just needs polishing and slight touch up to make it mint again. Cheers!!

Whoooops!! was chatting to my dad tonight, the year of my car is 1984 not an 1982 like i wrote earlier sowwii!!

Hey there, now that i've been given some more info about the need to have a ECU from another r30 with the L20et engine, then i guess i'd better ask if you could hold on to it for me if your not in too much of a hurry to get rid of it, say in another week or 2???? Just that my thoughts on restoring this car has only just popped into my head this last few days and umm i just need to clear some other things up first and then i'll be all go, hey but if you are going to advertise it somewhere such as trademe etc plz let me know so i can bid for it, otherwise name your price and i'm all go just need a week or 2 thats all!! When i was going to get it up and going a few years ago, i could only find 2 ECU's in the small town the car is in Whangarei, and they both wouldnt work, sure the guy at the wreckers was getting annoyed with me when i kept taking them back saying they wouldnt work, but they wouldnt and guessing i know why now!! Well i've taken up enough of your time and i look forward to a reply, Cheers!! melanie

Woah really..i was wondering why i couldnt find much info on them..theres a pic online somewhere of a white bonnet with a Paul Newman signature decal on it, theres some sites with 2 doors and theres one on You Tube, a 4 door but it was a black one and that guy was doing burnouts and drifting with it. Cripes feel real stink now cos I was quite brassed off with my dad for giving me such an old car lol. Gosh I've just left it sitting in my dads garage for the past 15yrs guess I'll make a start sometime to get it up and going again, When you say made in limited numbers, any chance of knowing how many exactly??? Hey thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll be posting vin numbers etc soon..mel

Hey there, Cool its nice to know theres more of this model in the country, My dad gave me his 1982 Nissan Skyline R30 GT ES years ago Red, 4 door, electrics, turbo Paul Newman Limited Edition version Its been garaged around 15yrs so it'l take some work to get back on the road From memory theres his signature decals on the bonnet and rear doors Yip and the seats carried his signature too Well just thought I'd pop in and say hi!!

Aww sweet is an l20et ecu is that the computer thingy, yeah I'll be keen I hope it will work for the same model as I remember shopping around back then and the ones I got from the wreckers didnt end up working, even tho they swore it would

Hey there, um what is a l20et ecu? Is that an engine part or a turbo part? Pretty keen on a windscreen too, got a lil rascal of a nephew up there lol

Heya, my dad gave me his Paul Newman limited edition nissan skyline years ago, at the time it went like a jet, just instant power and the sound of the turbo boosting was thrilling but O well sadly all good things must come to an end sometime and I blew the turbo, got that fixed a while later, during that time I used the battery in another vehicle and when I went to place it back in to the Nissan I blew out the computer by putting the wrong - to + on the battery, I wasn't very mechanically minded back then lol anyways thats been it for the car, still sitting in my dads garage all these years. The body and interior is still in great condition, the paint work has faded, its a four door with the Paul Newman signature decal on the bonnet left hand corner and on both rear doors, my dads in another part of the country but I'll give him a call tomorrow and ask him to give me the engine and vin numbers year model etc I'll get some photos up asap..thanks for reading..Melanie
