for some reason i cannot edit my above post...

adams one is not road worthy and he is going to sell it for parts.. i think. if your still interested let me know and ill talk to him

He will only be good for parts and

then only some parts, stuffed rear shocks, worn tyres, tacho doesn't

work, rear brake pads are gone, and I think thy're leaking fluid now

too, handbrake cable sticks, cracked injector casing, crack in

windscreen, broken rear quarter pane on drivers side rear door, so

pretty much only good for parts.

how cheap is cheap???

i may let mine go for the right price... like $2500 MINIMUM

add another $1000 for complete turbo conversion

lol I was thinking around the $1000 mark for one that is able to be a reliable daily driver... :P

I dont have any plans to mod it, just as a daily.

hahah..

famous last words!!!

seing as the R30 platform was the first development chassis for the atessa system, they are actually a very potent package!!

stock, a bit sad.... modded = FUN

there are normally a few on ebay at least once a month, not really in good nic though... the loval one adam is selling will be a good parts source... i just gotta wait until i move before considering purchasing it

but mine is 100% rwc, has a bit of rego left, nothing to spend really.

reason i want to sell is im 190cm and prefer a 2 door variant... either DR30/FJ20et or HR30/L20et

Look Ive found something something im pretty keen on, my R30 hatch is up for rego in a month or so...

I will let it go for $2000 with rims, all serviced ready to go.

All you need to do is get rego put on it (currenly VIC registered)

Even if you did find a $1000 doer upper, you will be spending $1600 getting it ready for rego etc.

I spent $1600 just over a year ago, getting the brakes done, exhaust all sorted, timing/tuning/gas analysis stuff... all at NISSCO in bayswater (a reputable rally/datsun specialist in melb)

i need parts from a r30!

if u could get that adam guy to contact me via email [email protected] that would be great

i dont really know much about cars and i crashed my 1985 mr30 into a gutter and the back wheel is completely bent in doez any1 have ne advice?

i let adam know this morning.. i will post up his reply

EDIT:

adam wants to get rid of the car this weekend. apparently some one is after the gearbox. if anyone who wants anything out of his DR30 can send me their info by PM ill pass it onto adam

Hi all

The Adam mentioned above is me, and I am looking to sell the old R30 Ti. I have been speaking with MAG86 about the possibility of a transaction and he's shown some interest. The car was loaned to an employee of my mothers for a period of timje and has some mechanical issues, as a result of his lack of care. IMO the car is past the point of cost effective repair as some bigger dollar items are needed, like new rear struts, 4 tyres, new right rear door quarter pane, new rear pads and a full bleed, handbrake cables are sticky due to worn dust caps (these can be freed by soaking in kerosene or diesel and then lubricting well with a penetrating lubricatant or adhesive grease). the car has few other issues, that Im happy to disclose, but has many good parts to donate to other better condition vehicles.

I will not be parting out the vehicle myself, and if by chance i do feel inclined, i would only go as far as a rolling shell so its easy to get to the wreckers.

Regards

All, My DR30 is sold as of today it has become someones new parts pony. It was a most interesting drive to their house as whilst the car has sat for a while the brakes have f*@ked themselves... 80 to 0 braking distances = still calculating. lol

the brakes have pissed themselves all over the garage floor! at least it will keep the cockroackes at bay for a bit

and they are truly FFFFAAAARRRRKEKEEDDD, only real way to slow down is knock it into reverse and feather the clutch before the house gets flattened

MAG86 you were warned, but besides the brakes you should find it a good resource of parts. Speaking of parts, I used to know where to get them from the wreckers in Canberra and QBN but lately they all seem to have been scrapped. Good luck with the works, maybe catch you at JDM fest on saturday.

Ill keep an eye out for any other DR30's that might be up for sale.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
