so rezz can u get us some stuff?

260km cluster is at the top of my list

followed by a front bar

i got my rb20 yesterday...uses a map sensor so no need for afm after all. but she idles all over the shop something about a open loop control or sumthing...um....help!

[rsx84]

stu_r30 your car was a non turbo right, so theres no boost gage, is the engine in or are you able to run it out side the car?? red or silver top?

[rsx84]

Rezz, when you say exchange it for one of thiers, is that that they produce the 260km panel? i did notice that they are completly different gages to the ones mine has (in terms of display levels).

They outsource the the speedo "faces" from another company. They only change the face and the little speedo mechanism inside as far as I know, so you give them yours (with 25,000 odd yen)and they give you another reconditioned "260km/h" cluster in return... the work they do on the cluster is quite minimal.

i think i'll just go with my first plan, getting one of the pivot electronic speedos!

cheers Rezz for the help

[stu_r30]

thats a bit of a rip for what they charge

i havent got it in yet but was told that she searches when it idles

its a silvertop

its a non turbo car but its got a boost guage pe' say in that it sez boost but on frickin vacuum

[rsx84]

it also removes the speed limiter as a part of it though so if you look at the cost of one of those then its not so bad ? plus the display is pretty cool.

Hi Guys,

Have a '81 HR30 coupe L20E & 5 speed in the garage, seems to be no demand for these old girls. Have offered it for sale complete, but no bites, next weekend will start dismantling it.

One guy has already put dibs on the taillights & window seals, car is virtually complete...anyone looking for trim pieces etc?

And what would a DR30 grill sell for? Every other R30 I have seen has some variation of a honeycomb-type grill on it, but not this very early one (chassis number low twenty thousand).

Gus this is the dr30 updated grill

when you say got dibs on window seals is that the rubber around the out side as im looking for the seal between the front door window and rear window,

[Gus]

rsx84,

The grill is the 'prior-term' to quote babelfish/r30.co.jp, is identical to all the early DR30's.

And sorry, yes, the strips of rubber between the front door window & rear window have been claimed by StageFumer11.

99% of other parts are available, if it comes to wrecking it, I will strip what I can and put it away in the garage. The price of early RX stuff is going ballistic, I guess the demand will outstrip supply soon for R30 stuff.

[stu_r30]

hmm could be interested in a few things

nz could be a doozey for shipping tho

im still keen for a dr30 front bar despite the cost of freight and the greedy middle man

oh yeah...the 260k dash cluster, the tach goes to 9 grand as well doesnt it as opposed to the aussie ones reading to 8??

[rsx84]

gus, always the way full into that 1% that is just not there, no worrys carn't think of any thing else that i might need, wait a minute what rims do you have? that translator still didnt help much.

stu, i think there is also one that goes to 10, not that there would be any need to see it hit 10 grand(bang)!!

[stu_r30]

i would love to see it hit 10 grand would be mad

not in my car of course tho...

fark im keen for a 10 grand/260k dash now.

[rsx84]

remind me not to lend you my car!!

[stu_r30]

hehe nah i'll be gentle on my rb20 when she goes in

till i plan on upgrading anyways

do rb20s redline at 7.5?....or 8

cause i know my tacho starts at 6 and finishes at 8...so....hmm

[rsx84]

i think it 7500 thats the factor claim (something to do with ecu) as there are chips and other computer things you can get that change it, one i look at raized it to 8200 (rev limiter)????

[stu_r30]

about 8 grand eh

nice....ill keep that in mind as my dash only reads to 8 hehe

rsx84, a pic of my car...http://www.trademe.co.nz/STRUCTURE/auction....asp?id=6429393

Standard Skyline alloys 14x5.5 I think

[rsx84]

Gus, haven't seen a 2 tone silver one before,shame about the window seals through, you know they only sell them with the 1/4 window and for about 350 to 400 a pop!! oh those wheels??
