Are you on or in the mix for the KHR30 on eBay?

It's sitting on $1250 at present and will sell for far less than your high of $3000.

There aren't a lot of these getting about in some reasonable condition and as it's complete, you could sell off what you don't want. Recently an L20ET complete sold on eBay for over $600.00.

Cheers, D

Well done Mister30, or is congratulations a more appropriate term?

You open a thread here 20th January 2009 with a request;

"Want an r30 coupe rollin shell with no engine and no gearbox but must have diff and wheels any where under 3 grand" UNDER 3 Grand???????

Then on 21st January 2009 you respond with;

"na mate got all the runnin gear just really want a coupe not to fussed on condish but any help much apreciated so if anyone is wrecking one or something but has the entire shell" .................. and,

Then on 23rd January 2009 you reply again with;

"Hey guys im really open to any suggestions so if you see one on google no of one on ebay or got one lying out in your backyard post up some pics and let me see" .............. and after several recommendations to go chase a coupe on eBay that most certainly will fall into your under 3 grand price bracket and after contacting the seller, you fail to go through with the purchase and the vehicle goes under the hammer for $2225.00 a long way short of your 3 grand ceiling. What's more, another member of this forum from Melbourne, now residing in Canberra was collecting bits to help you with your project and you didn't go on with that offer either.

What's the go? You ask for help and when you get it, you do nothing about it?? Are you just another GUNNA or simply another time waster???

You wont be scoring too many points on this forum with this attitude.

Congratulations!

You got yourself a steal in a lot of our eyes and bad luck for the dill that asked for our help and did nothing about it.

They are a dying breed in this country, any sort of HR30 JDM vehicle.

I was thinking about it myself, but my next project if it goes ahead will be an 260Z +2.

You can be assured that if and when you want any information or help and assistance, there is a wealth of experience and resources in this "Classic Skyline" section.

I'm sure we all would be interested in it's progress over time.

Cheers, D

Cheers for the warm welcome. I'm a long time r30 fan but first time owner (did own a 4dr R31 Passage for a while though) so its gone to enthusiastic hands- should be a fun project, I'll keep you all posted when anything interesting happens :) .

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
