Hi everyone.

I've had my HR now for about 5 years, it's been a great car and a pleasure to own, sadly I think that it is time for it to go before it just rusts away. It's been sitting under my carport now for 12 months and I just can't get motivated to fix up the few things that are wrong with it. So I'm just seeing if there is any interest in either the whole car or some of the parts.

Cheers

Can you post up some pics of the exterior and interior?

There isn't much left of the interior, I stripped it all out because it was in pretty bad shape when I got it, all that is left is the door trims, dash and centre console.

As for the exterior it's not the best looking either, the paint is all faded and the clear is flaking off in places, not much rust except for the bottoms of the front panels and in the boot.

I'll post some photo's up as soon as I can find my camera.

Is it a KHR or an HR30?

Some of the KHR's had a beaut optional speaker enclosure on the back ledge & I would be interested in these if you had them.

And the rear parcel shelf if in reasonable condition, that is required in Queensland, by another old fart on this forum.

Same as picture.

Hey Ghost

Sorry I can't help you out, there really isn't any parts of the interior that are worth salvaging, It's sort of been the main reason why the project has been on hold for so long, I haven't been able to find any decent interior parts.

I'm still in 2 minds of whether or not to actually wreck this car, since coming onto this forum I'm sort of getting my heart back for the old girl.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
