Std 2.4 ltr 'L' series

4 speed Auto

New g/box mounts

Dual fuel

New VL injectors about 12 months ago

New exhaust technology 2 1/2" system (P plate friendly noise)

Brakes have been overhauled in the last 12 months

15" mags from an R32 non turbo so its 4 stud

Front tyres have done 400km from new

Faults:

Needs oil pressure sender

Tacho not working

Air con fitted but not working

Hi,

Looks in good condition. Most R30's I've seen are either 3sp auto or 5sp manual. Are the grill and tail lights the same as other ('series 1') R30's? 

Approx 337,000 kms (I have to check that)

How many kms has it done?

What's the condition of the interior and seats?

Hi.

It has done 348,000kms, but starts and runs very clean. It always starts on petrol and then goes to LPG. The body is pretty damn straight, and the paint is better than my own car!

Rear lights are the same as series 1 but overall there are a number of small mechanical and electrical differences between the two series. This is definitely 4 speed with converter lockup, so it is a fairly late box.

Interior is reasonable with the usual scratches and stuff, but the heater control panel looks like brand new. If I could, I would swap it with mine but mine has been modified too much. The seats are ok but could do with a bit of TLC if you were going to keep the car for a while.

I actually just put some Autotechnica seats in mine from Repco. Got them on special at $300 for the pair!

Nice R30 there Rob, unfortunatly the asking price for these old birds are pretty sad these days. i couldnt sell my MINT hatchback for $2000 last year, and that included about another $2000 in spare parts (as well as a full turbo setup, manifilds, injectors the lot).

Most commonly they go for $500 or so, give or take.

the Import L20et powered 4 door HR30 sold for about $2500, that was a record high price so far!

Sorry this is off-topic, but those seats sound interesting. Did they bolt on to the existing rails? Any problems fitting them?

Now back to it... a very nice 4-speed auto, series 2 MR30 is up for sale...

I believe I am being realistic as a couple of friends in the auto industry have actually said it should have been a higher asking price. The proof will come regardless one way or another when/if it gets sold.

As an aside I have been offered over $12k for mine, but just do not want to part with it.

I made up new mounts using 25mm (high) X 40mm (wide) tubing and mounted the runners directly to them. The drivers seat is now a bit too high so I will replace the back tubing with a bit of 10mm X 30mm bar to try to tilt it back.

I'll try to get some photo's to upload but I'm not sure this is the forum for that. Let me know where I should post it.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
