blind_elk Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I have a hatchback version. I'm setting it up to take the L20ET that I had in my dear departed 240Z. The L20ET now has a modified RB20DET turbo on it. You can also fit the RB20, just need to change the X-member for the R31 one. I'm also planning on 15" rims, and some decent suspension (Pedders have stuff for them).

Guest raven Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Good to see another R30 owner out there. I have a HR30 GT-ES 1984 Paul Newman Special Coupe...1 of only 3 in Oz. I have also been able to get new bushes from pedders. The car is pretty much immaculate but the steering was shite. Got a reco box and it is now a sweet thing. Got rid of all that play and slop in the steering. Funnily enough I was also able to get some new old stock centre caps from Nissan for the R30 15 inch alloys. So how much boost do you run with the Rb20 turbo? Are they expensive to buy and put on the L20ET? Any other worthwhile mods to a L20ET without going crazy?

predator Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 My R31 has done 266,000km in original engine and stills runs smoothly as ever. I reckon she still has another 150,000km in her too. The RB30 sure was a nice engine as well! That's why Skylines are great cars, the engines are like rocks.

BOoStEr Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Maybe I shouldn't bring this thread back from the dead but I was wondering how NisMojo is going with his R30 mods. I've spent 5 years modding an R30 and learned a lot along the way. I also have my stolen recovery wreck sitting in a shed.... but you're in tassie. Anyway if you have any questions P.M. me or post here.

Cake Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 my mate has an '83 HR30 2000 GT-Turbo sedan with the L20ET, car and motor only done just over 100,000km, has full exhaust, boost control, rims, 7mgte intercooler, thats about it, holds 1.1bar all day long on stock turbo (but for how much longer?) goes very hard, its a bit of a sleeper! he recently put DR30 tail lights on it, looks neat. stock suspension has a massive squat when it accelerates, gotta love the squat. haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/5005-back-in-the-day-r30-skyline/#findComment-395246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NisMojo Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 hey, this is an old threat but... Booster, Any help would be excellent with the R30, So far I haven't been able to do much with it.... Its all being done now, I just got a new job as a Security patrol officer, which pays well, so now I can spend up on the car... After the treatment I have given it, and the engine still runs is something to be said for the engine... I just put a sports exhaust, new wheels, tyres etc etc... Now I need to do more with it... the suspension needs to go, and the body needs a kit... There is a thread in the Wasteland called "Whoops Slipped"... Thats my Car Steve Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/5005-back-in-the-day-r30-skyline/#findComment-458463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicksR30 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 The only mod to my MR30 is a big hole cut in the airbox lid, goes alot harder and sounds sweet (Hmmmm induction noises). Where can i get a L20 Turbo? I hear the head bolts straight on to the L24 and the computer is a straight swap, making a L24 Turbo.
