get this, i posted ages ago about my diff and what the diff was doing??? after a week of f#$king around with it, i find out its the hand brake thats the problem, the passenger side cable has been crushed and when you put it on it stays on so while driving i've had the rear brake on, doh, so now she goes alot harder!!

a mate at work told me about the need for speed forum the other day as someone there has created a dr30 to race in the pc version but found this as well. onyone know the side skirts at all?

The body kit is from JENESIS, www.r30.co.jp the front bar is identical to the one I have here in OZ that I plan to make in small numbers. The side skirts cost an arm and a leg to get here to OZ, so that moulds could be made to reproduce them locally.

The rear view car has the STOCK DR30 body kit, found on most RS-X models, same as the Peter Jackson cars had in the late 80's.

I am making enquiries on how to get them, or maybe modifying R31 or R32 ones to fit, so that I could market a complete body kit for R30 Skylines, strictly on a limited basis, after all, we don't want them all the same. :ghost:

RSX,

They look a little different to the JENESIS skirts.

Do you remember where you found the pic?

If so! email him/the site and ask some questions, or PM me the site and I will do the chasing for you. :ghost:

ALL R30 Parts are interchangeable. The DR struts bolt in, same lower ball joint & control arm, guards, bonnets, etc, everythings the same, that's why we are chasing them.

The only changes are coupe doors don't fit on sedans, unless you want to cut them in half, but if it comes off a coupe, HR, or DR, it don't matter, if it's sedan, fits another sedan. etc, etc, etc.

hey guys, im thinking of putting together a 30's page? what you reckon worth it or not?

i mean i am going to set up a page for my car regardless, but then i was thinking there is no definitive r30 info resource....

if you guysthink it'll work, let me know and i'll start getting info etc

cheers

Well if your doing one up for your 'line, you might as well do up a r30 site, as there are very limited english sites dedicated to the mighty r30's, particularly ones with useful info..

Quick note though didnt we lose a lot on this forum due to some computer glitch. As if i remember it was quite useful.

Good luck

mostly suspension stuff but there seems to be even better info on this here now! if you do a google aus search you can get a few sites but most are for sale sites or small write up in larger stories, any info i've found is years old and has'nt been updated in the last few years at least!!

http://www.jaustech.com.au/general.htm

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~robs/kevspage.htm

these are the only sites in english that i got any info from, the rest are japanese and when translated make even less sence!!!

Robs/Kevs page is fairly informative and Rob's car is still under development. And the site will probably be upgraded when it goes back on the road again, but he hasn't done the brake conversion we have on this site, he hasn't done the body conversions, or suspension, mostly his mods are of standard available parts as opposed to Jap import TRICK BITS.

AND >>>>> SIDE SKIRTS >>>>> Might have the Jenesis ones here in a few months, so we can see what I can organise for copies.

RSX,

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
