3 inch exhaust and dump pipe

2litre Toyota supra intercooler, harness, boost controller and koni special front shockers. (Not Installed)

Very rare! Only 3 registered in Aus!

$5500 not neg.

This car still for sale? Is it Manual, how many K's and what sort of condition is it in?

and what the hell is a "triple Hybrid turbo"?

I am willing to travel to Adelaide if the car is worth it.

rsx84 glad your up and running and it is looking sweeeeet! I know the pain a conversion causes.Well done.

R30gtN/A i will not flame you either as ive considered that conversion myself.As the R30 has room for a six cylinder i was pondering a 20B.

The 13B will fit behind the strut towers making a very good handling car.Make sure you shoot some pics when you can!

I think its a great idea.... 13b in a hr30 would rock

Bad news though im sure ill have to sell all my 30 stuff

1982 hr30 2 door import coupe - the povo pack so it had winding windows no power stuff.

just sprayed in mazda blue

r32 rb20det with loom r32 auto ecu (doesnt effect the facts its to be manual) turbo manifold and custom dump. currently apart at SST automotive to get new piston rings and bearings which it didnt need but i wanted to be safe

needs coils which i can source and alt starter motor

rb20det 5 speed box with stock clutch and flywheel, hr30 tailshaft which needs yoke

long nose r200 lsd which is still ok ive been told

big fark off truck cooler and evo 5 cooler with was in accident but fine

s13 seats not yet put in car

vg30 afm and rb20afm

na r33 rims

6 point bolt in cage

new shocks in back not sure about the rest.

chasis is straight as.

brakes will need machining to remove rust off them due to car sitting for several years or just drop dr30 ones in there. they are discs front and rear

rear seats could do with a tidy up

the car sat around for 4 years before i touched it. due to uni / work / personal stuff i wont be able to finish it. the project has a solid base but like i said i wont get it done so it may as well go to someone with the ability to finish it and enjoy the car. NOTE: these parts are all yet to go into car so hence its why its a project.

im looking at 4k ono but im cool so im willing to negotiate.

i am in perth so it makes things harder for easterners but ive been as honest as i can be.

pm me or email me at [email protected]

or find me as tomj on the antilag.com forums.

cheers

Tom

i gather this is your car and that amount is what your looking for!!or is this the add for that one for sale ages ago cause there are more than three people here with paul newman versions 2door anyway??

just got some updated pics.....i do have some engine ones but there too big so i'll have to get them smaller!! those rims will be resprayed black later as they look more gold than black at the moment!!

Hey! RSX,

You have convinced me, the glass bar all the way.

I was going to fit the same lower spoiler to mine but after seeing how yours hangs, NO WAY! got to be able to do better than that. A longer, shallower cooler would look better I think, maybe 700 x 250 or similar, very similat surface area to 600 x 300.

What happened to the centre support for the grille and where your headlight washers go???

As for rear wing, I got this if your interested. See thumbnail attachment. I bought it a couple of years ago, but I don't particularly want it now, I think the series 3 R31 Silhouette wing looks better, or the Jenesis one, if I can get it here. My concern with the Jenesis wing is if it can be painted, as I think it would look sh1t on a white body. I would use the wing I have except it doesn't cover the full width of the boot lid, for that it has to be 1480mm wide and it's only 1340 something.

As for a 13B powered R30, I think he's in for trouble if it stays n/a, the R30 is about 1250kg and the RX3 was less than 1000. Think the extra 250kg will kill it.

I have an acquaintance with a 13B J port in a GH Sigma, single 48mm IDA Webber and it goes like F. @. &. K. E. D. > R/S to say the least. Noisy as hell, been defected 3 times in 10 months, lowered with a hacksaw blade on stock shocks, sort of a BRAIN DEAD Critter even.

They got ZERO torque compared to a 6 cyl DOHC turbo. My RB30 should have 500+ Nm

It's my eldest daughter's boyfriend actually.

hmm would that wing fit a silvia?

You got a Silvia too! as well as the R30???

Organised a box today, it (grille & lower spoiler) will be packed and ready to go after easter.

I will PM you to confirm.

My mate has an S13 180SX and his boot lid measures 1160 across, so yeh! probably, the importer in Melbourne bought them in for current model Lancers.

The mounting feet were marginally narrower than the R30 Hatch width.

Send me some measurements of your boot lid and rear width and I will measure the wing and let you know.

Yeh???

haven't you noticed my signature???

ghostrider: i dont know as theres a scratch in the paint work that runs under the weld??? the headlight washer pump was there till the front mount went in, the washers themselves were not! is that front bar you posted from jenesis? dont you have the one with the larger bottom lip?? my front shocks can go down around another cm or so! i am looking for a new one though as i'd like it to look as low as the other pic from the r30 meeting!! rear wing wise i'm looking for something almost identical to the one in the pic as well..sitting low to the body work, i've looked at one or too on some honda hatches.... just one last thing, the rb20det has around 265nm of torque...but boost comes on just over 2000rpm though to 6500rpm..... :kick:

Im gona keep it N/A but its going to be a perifheral port with a 51mm IDA so hoping for over 300hp. But a mate with a s3 rx7 with a similar motor build made 340hp and holly shit that was fast, 3rd gear was like taking off in 1st! Future plan is to drop a injected 20b PP in it an have a bit of NOS aswell because im not a real fan of turbo rotas! Yep when shes done I will get some pics up! I dont want to be a smart arse but as for you non belevers of the torque or power come over when its finnished an I will take you for a ride and then see what you say!

yeah bit of a problem - got everything hooked up bar the PS, taken it for a spin and it doesnt seem to want to go over 2k rpm

gets to about 2 grand then just wont go over, sh!ts itself till i back off. does it in all gears

checked the microtech handset, reads upto about 4-5 psi by about 2k rpm before it craps out, but theres no warnings coming up or anything. its like its in limp home mode or something

any ideas people cause its sh!tting me hard.

side note - sounds like its running less a cylinder or two so im thinking coils/leads etc..??

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
