hey r30 fans....i think ive said before, but ive bought a r30hatch....Anyway all i want is engine, gbox, tshaft, loom computer, p-windows and possibly front seats......all other parts are up for grabs...as one piece preferably, but will seperate if need be..... but oce i get what i want from it, i will only keep it for a week or so, then i will chop it up and dump it....so pm me if any of you are interested in the remaining parts/shell......will be cheap as, if not free....depends what ur after......if i remember correctly, all badges are intact also.....

Derrrrrrrrr! aren't I a DuMass, I get the drift, you guys querying me putting RS badges on a HR PNV.

I bought the new badges from Jenesis before I had the PNV, the DOHC RS were going on the MR30 Hatch. I also have a set of U12 Pintara Ti Nissan badges, that I was going to put on the guards, they're black with a GOLD wreath and Nissan on the bottom.

At the end of the day, what's in a badge, the car is still a PNV.

You're the one putting a Tekamon nose on a PNV :P

I was half tempted to put Triumph badges on it... I can see a lot of similarities between the DR and what I think the next evolution of the TR series would have been like

Independant rear

Good brakes for the time

Innovative fuel injection

No steering feel

Reasonably unbreakable engine

One of the fastest cars in its class

But some nice Datsun badges will do, and a Pintara badge for the bootlid just to confuse people lol

Adam,

Other than you being one of the few on this thread that doesn't like the Iron Mask front, what's so dammed bad about putting it on a PNV.

It already has an non std RB engine, non std SAAS Enforcer front seats, non std 16 inch wheels, non std front & rear brakes, non std instrument cluster, non std transmission, non std suspension, non std diff & non std drive shaft.

How else it it so abhorrible that it has an iron mask front.

In the most part it's all nissan and from the R30 family.

Your remark about triumph badges and the like is insane to say the least. Why not go Renault badging, at least you will be staying with company product.

L24E ECU's play a very important part in our ecological status these days.  

They make VERY GOOD LANDFIL!!!!!

Jap Hot Plate tail lights are RARE, try SSS Automotive or Just Jap, or Option 1 etc, try all the importers, PARTS IMPORTERS that is.

All I suggest, I keeping my spare set, or hang on, what you got now?

You got Genuine 84/5 Aussie Tail Lights?????

Let me know if you have.

Yeah, i got a set of 84 Aussie tailights, they are on my car, i also have a single one, right hand side (I think) from a wreck. I gotta get some jap spec lights

As a matter of interest!

Plenty has been said about my intention of changing the front on my PNV, absolutely nothing has been said about the performance enhancements.

What's with the bullsh!t on changing the front?????

so hows life rsx84 , i think i know you . anyhow

i own a paul newman gt es with a l20et , all stock

exept boost , this thing not only lives off neglect

but thrives of it

how ya going roy.. haven't seen you around town for ages, everyone this is the bloke with the 4door PNV, hopefully you still have it? good to see you finally got around to having a look at this site, did you read it all or skip to the good bits? my car is still a work in progress but is this close to completion...

I guess it's cause it's a rare PNV? But,as you say,it's already been tamperd with,so to my way of thinking ,it doesn't really matter.Speaking of performance enhancements,was yours the RB25DET one? Sorry,this thread is too long to go searching back through!

Sure PNV's are rare, but only in Japan are they of value, here they're just another R30.

To some, like those on this forum thread, may think otherwise, but at the end of the day it is only rare and valuable if & when it is SOLD. As I don't intend to sell it ever, there is no rarity value and it will always be a PNV as it is marked that way and sold that way, just a modified version.

If it was to stay stockish, a L20et rebuild to L28 would be necessary for some performance and to rebuild to L28 spec, it's same price for RB and RB is modern technology.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
