Need Some Info / Advice From All You R30 Guru's.

[benny_blanco]

seeing as the Guards Etc are interchangable with the MR30's and I dont know much about the MR30's....

whats the difference between the MR30 and Series 1 DR30 Headlights, grille, filler pannel and bonnet.... also will they fit up flush with the series 2 bumper.

from what I can tell the grille looks abit different.

and does anyone know of anywhere that sells the over fenders apart from www.r30.co.jp... yahoo auctions seem like too much trouble.

also about how much should I be paying for the MR30 parts from a wrecker... I normally dont know what I should be paying at wreckers and think i've been ripped off a couple of times.

this is what I want my DR looking like... but keeping it White / Black still.... Will also be keeping my current front end incase I ever want to swap it back.

still unsure wether to get my 3 peice wheels a new deeper lip made up to fill the guards or some wider wheels like in the pic

Everything should just bolt up

MR30 and series 1 DR30 would be the same front panel wise

Why would you want to deironmask your car though?

Just the flares and wheels on your car would look great

s1 mr's (same font as the dr in the pic) and s1 dr's have the same front (bar the lip). then theres s2 mr30 front which uses same guards as the ironmask front dr30 but thinner head lights then s1 (not ironmask) thinner grill and no chrome filler strip under the lights and grill. but use same bumper as ironmask dr (but with no light sprayers and bottom spoiler).

so to put s1 front on ironmask dr30 u would need s1 mr/dr headlights grill, 1/4 panels, bumper, 1/4 panel indicators, bonnet and possibly the bonnet latch support. might b able 2 get away with ur current 1/4 panels but unsure if s1 and s2 bumper mounts r in the same place. also u would have to leave ur indiactor where it is. s1 have it level with the bumper.

f*k hope that made sense lol

think i have head lights and a bumper around the place, not sure tho...

hold up you wanna get rid of the iron mask????

the headlights are the same, "the filler panel" which is just a thin slither of metal is the same, I believe only the grille is different and some what hard to get. Just by looking at pics yes they will line up with the series 2 bumper no worries.

As for MR parts prices, I have only ever bought stuff from u-pull-it so it has cost me stuff all most of the time.

Well said guys.

My only addition would be the rear spoiler. Over $600.00 landed ex Japan and mine is the only 1 in Oz as best I know.

The Jap car is a bit of a bodge, coz it has a S1 front & S2 rear and I have NEVER seen the flares in Oz. My best thought is they are 240Z grafted on because our rear wheel arch is not round like these flares are, similar to a 240Z rear wheel arch.

Cheers, D

Oh! And the front lip is about $800.00 landed.

Waste of money for just a look in my opinion.

I have a sample of the Jenesis Latter Stage front bar & a few years back about 10 people put their hand up for a new one from a mould I produced, but when orders were called for with 50% deposit, there was not a murmur, the silence from this forum was deafening, so I smashed the mould.

Cheers, D

I was one who was keen on a copy, was only just thinking late last year whatever happened with this idea. Didnt ever see anything on here in regards to orders and a 50% deposit, as I would have definently run with it. Oh well

You mean this spoiler Dennis?

This came on my car but the internal support was rusting so I cut it out and am in the process of trying to refit a new stainless steel support.

Didn't know they were rare in Oz

Love those flares the more I see them

I know normaly the series 1 face doesnt look as good, but personaly if the car has over fenders then i prefer the series 1 front,... the iron mask looks abit too pointy with those over fenders....

Might just order the over fenders and rear spoiler first from Jenesis, then decide wether to change after....

Will probally get them shipped to China if it makes shipping any cheaper to save costs and have my gf's sister bring them over when she comes to visit us around june / july.

are you wanting to sell any iron mask parts to fund your conversion?

[BensDR30]

S2 guards are the same as S1 except they have the extra hole for the high-mount side indicator. You'll notice that the low-mount hole is till there, but hidden under the bumper...

The S1/S2 lights are very different, but the body shells are the same. I bought nearly everything needed to fit an iron-mask to my old MR, but never got around to it.

The bonnet catch is ok, but the manual release is different.

Basically, I'd suggest you pick up an S2 aus-spec MR for sub $1000 and pull the bits of it. It will be a bit of a bastard though, as the S2 bumper update coincides with the ironmask for the DR, so there wasn't an S2-bumpered DR with big lights.

The car in the pic has probably just got an S2 rear bumper fitted - but a lot of the S1's had fender mirrors, so who knows...
