Yup that white over black one is certainly mine as Josh and Adam have stated!! Certainly an old shot though, that was taken the weekend before i crashed the thing :) march last year!! Looks a little different to that now!

ON a side note, i rang Nissan today about getting some panels for the money pit...Let me say that i nearly fell over in shock!! $600 PER headlight, $550 PER guard and thats about where i told him to stop!! YIKES!! Thought it might be a bit of an option instead of waiting but for that money im waiting!! Im so hanging to drive this thing its not funny anymore :/

Dude, buy a MR30 for like $500, take the front panels off that.  Drive it with the earlier front for a while until you get the Tekamon panels.

I thought about doing that, but as im lazy as and really can't be bothered putting the MR30 panels on to get the tekamen one's all to swap them back again...I've waited 15 months i may as well wait a bit longer to drive it...Longer it sits in the driveway more mods get done to it teehee :cheers:

15 MONTHS, what your cars been off the road for 15 months thats painfull... :ghost:

stupid question time... What is this for?  is it body strength or to make the car more ridgid?? it would bolt on around the end of the doors in the 2door versions!

It is for torsional rigidity, same deal as a strut tower brace.

march last year it came off the road so 13 months?? Close enough to 14 months now!!! :D:(

If u want more pics check out www.pbase.com/stnzaboy i just uploaded some onto there, but i've got a shite load more to go so yeah check it and i'll let ya know when i upload more!! :headspin:

hmm well worse luck for me today, ive been to 2 of the best paint colour matching places in town and because the colour is not a factory colour they have little/no hope of matching it, due to the fact that in the clear coat there is a rainbow gold fleck which they don't seem to have one as fine, i haven't been in contact with the guy i bought the car off for a year and he sprayed and mixed the paint himself. i really don't want to have to respray the whole car!

sorry to hijake the thread a bit but...

would a 39-40 offset be acceptable on a 30? rim size is 16" and do 30's have a 4/114.3 stud pattern??

and anyone got any idea of a price of sending mags from melbourne to adelaide or a website with pricing info?

Mike,

Offset should be fine. I have 16 x 8 & 16 x 7 offset +38 on my PNV and the rears, 16 x 8 are perfect, just sit under the guard nicely, will roll the edges to be sure, but sit just nice. And 4 x 114.3 is correct (old 4.5 inches) Standard offset was +25 on 15 x 6 rims.

Freight? get in touch with McPhee's and you probably get out of it for $30/40.00.

I recently had a set of wheels sent Albury to Sydney by McPhee's for $35.00.

V8SkylineMan is correct, but it assists the rear strut tower brace, doing more like a half cage would do.

Talk to Whiteline and they will tell you both rear tower brace and floor braces aren't necessary, but Jenesis makes, sells & uses them, so! someone aint up to speed. I know what I'm doing with mine.

If you peel back the carpet, the holes are there waiting for you in the coupe, in my PNV they are.

sweet. im loking at some 16 x 8 now for the rear. doesnt list the offset but i found a handy chart (http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html) and with some estimating looks as though the offset will be fine on those too.

got the car painted today! r33 silver. looks pretty damn classy. nothing too overstated but good enough to bring the shape alive. will post some pics once the bumpers, mouldings, windows etc are back in (tomorrow night).

oh yeah, whats the address for jenesis?

Hi Guys,

My Paul Newman Version VIN is 200170. I am guessing it stands for 2 door & build number 170.

But to clarify, would the members with Paul Newman's let me know what their VIN is and how it corresponds to the compliance plates. Build date, 2 or 4 doors, chassis number etc.

Mine is a bit shonky, it has NO COMPLIANCE PLATES & brake hoses date stamped 07/84 but is supposed to be, according to the import papers, an 82 model.

The instant ageing might have something to do with the 15 year rule, as it was imported in 1997, YOU THINK?????

Jenesis is www.r30.co.jp but when you access it put it through Alta Vista translation or similar so you can sort of understand what there saying in descriptions.

BUT! don't get to excited, they won't trade with you DIRECT, it's a good site to explore, and a lot of their parts can be made here just from the pictures. It is a good referrence site as well, to see what they do with them in Japan.

If your interested in getting some bits from them, it might be a good idea to put it to open forum discussion and we try and jointly get an order together and then get in touch with a parts importer, like Nengun, one of SAU sponsors.

Only one problem I can see with your car...... far too many doors!

meh. i like it. has irs. has rb20det. has new paint. has new(ish) interior. is an r30..... im happy

and where do you get a screamer dump pipe for an rb20 at a reasonable price?

I got a stock one, but otherwise get it made.

Your sedan got rear discs with it's IRS???

All hatch's have rear discs and they're interchangeable with sedan. Just attach at cross member, but if you do this you will need the handbrake cables as they are different to the drum ones.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
