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.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
