Hey Guys,

Want to see something different?

Go have a look at ebay item # 2471197734

Came out to this country in 89 as U12 Pintara.

This is 86 Bluebird SSS, pillarless etc, etc. & great price if you got somewhere to put it if & when you fiddle with it.

you don't happen to have a spare tailgate strip, like the one in that pic?

A boot lip garnish eh! well that should be fun.

With Skyline on it??????? or otherwise???

How you holding for "Rocking Horse Sh1t, or Tits for a Bull, or Hens Teeth"?????

OK guys,

Special for all you people with Hatch R30's.

I have a Jap imported hatch up for grabs, not the car, just the rear hatch. Great condition, complete with wiper & motor. I paid $350.00 for it, but I'm in for offers.

Talk to me.

hehe i take that as a no... yeh the one with skyline on it!!!

They are PNV ONLY, to the best of my knowledge and as there is only about 5 in the country, you got no chance.

BUT! if you were able to come up with GENUINE of what I suggested, I might have been tempted to take mine off, as I would have made a killing selling the other.

']i dont use my aircon neway so i dont mind losing it on my DR30. its still there atm tho til i get big FMIC in. i just wind the windows down!

power windows ... would be good but meh its not that bad and if you want them, just go to an alarm fitter place and theyll get u the solenoids and chuck em in hooked up to your alarm for a couple of hundred or so, no big deal.

u sure yours doesnt have power steering? well i mean i guess u'd know lol. hm no power ive read does suck, very heavy steering. mine is 83, does have power steering. its a heavy power steering (i.e. u cant palm the wheel or anything like that) and u gota realy grab hold of it if u intend to turn a corner sharply with one hand, but i guess itd be better than no power steering.

but power steering cant even be that much to get?

i spose its up to you,. .. thats what seperates car owners i guess. i went from a Mirage (96) to an S13 sil80 (92) to the DR30  (83) and i dont mind it. never use aircon (uses more fuel and takes power) so i can live with it. the DR is more raw but i like that in a car.

though i do sometimes think that the outside look/"coolness" of the car that people perceive does become a bit tarnished when you actually own it yourself. (becomes more of a hassle and u notice things more than just its rarity and "angry" looks =])

just take some newer cars for a spin and see i guess? though remember youll probably never own one again or anyone you know so make sure ur over it before you sell it ... plenty of time for boring "modern" cars when your old and have a family! :D

power steering is a straight swap from a mr30, i dont have ps on mine and at low speed -40kms/h its heavy above that its a one finger job, go figure!! i have this car and a daily driver so that is something of a releaf as i can work on the r30 and do everything else day to day, not without a car, one thing that got me to get the r30 was 1150kgs with plenty of under bonnet room for the little essentals, quad cam v8, if i wanted. add the mod cons and you add weight 1250kgs for the dr30 intercooled turbo...

Better with nothin! mine has DOHC RS on the right side (driver's) of the boot lid & RS or GT badges on the front guards and Skyline across the boot lid lip.

It doesn't say Nissan, or Datsun anywhere on the car other than PNV on the seats and down the side.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
