The first Skyline was made by Prince in the 50's, then by Nissan, who purchased Prince in the 60's. Search for Skyline and Cedric in Wikipedia if you want to have a look at the chronology both models. As I said, there were some similarities between Cedric and Skyline in that era, but visually they are quite different.

I though some of you blokes would be interested that I have just finished some work for Nissan Aust. The will be a heritage display set up at all V8 rounds in the Nissan marquis written by me featuring never seen before photos of Nissan/Datsun cars from 1958 through to 1992 on the track. It is part of a book I am writing about the history of Nissan in Australian motorsports.

1986 DR30.

I have been given exclusive access to the photo library of several famous photographers and the book will have approx 100 never seen Datsun/Nissan racing shots.

Cheers

Whats the difference between an MR30 and an FJR30?

Mine's an 84 FJR30-CA18S Built in Japan Sept 84 but Brought to Australia then exported to NZ in 91 then exported again in 2014 to the UK, sat in a barn until 2016 and after much wrangling got it UK registered June 2017. Its rare to see one over here. Thanks to the Aussie climate it is in excellent condition rust free. I have changed the rear lights from Aussie spec to the hot plate style though

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
