sounds very interesting. I'm not up on all the models available in the R30 range, but I know there was no GTR in the Nissan line-up from 1973 (KPGC110) to whenever the R32 GTR was produced - 1989?. So definitely no GTR model in the R30 range.

I would also very much doubt that your car was released with a single nut hub assembly as original equipment. Do you have a pic of one of these wheels?

what i need help with is Ive only got 3 mags and its missing the centre wheel adaptor there the same as super tourers use

I was asking for a pic of the wheel because I thought it might help someone locate another, which is what you seem to be after. But it's a little unclear - what's "the centre wheel adapter" that's missing?

there was no R30 GTR, and I know of no homologation special for the R30. There was a GTS-R homologation version of the R31 for GroupA touring car racing, however. The R30 L20ET models had GT-ES badges.

pics of hubs and car would be a big help??? sounds to me like you may have got your hands on either a very rear car or an ex race car!

is it an ex race car?

here's the Gibson Motorsport Group A tourng car DR30. They ran the 4 stud pattern back then, but that's not to say all the cars of the era did, or that they weren't changed by a subsequent owner.

Julie,

I have the Nissan sales brochure for all R30 models marketed and there is no mention of a GTR in it. It is a well documented fact that the GTR models dissappeared between KPGC110 & R32.

But let's just look at your vehicle description.

L20? ... is it 4 or 6 cylinder? DET ... this terminology is usually for DOUBLE overhead cam ELECTRONIC ignition TURBO induction.

The only L series DOHC cylinder heads that I know of were 1. the old 4 cyl formula pacific homologation fitted to the now famous TOMICA Skyline SS pic below and 2. The 6 cyl head fabricated by OS Giken for Paul Newman's successful assault on the USTCC in the 80's, but to my knowledge none of these engines were turbo'd and available for road use.

But if you have what you say, I'm sure I can speak for everyone here at SAU that we would be more than very interested in all pictures, specifications and any other details you have on it, as it would be the rarest of all R30 models.

Thats not her car Ghostrider.  That's a blokes from Port Macquarie.  My car is parked in front of it.  That picture was taken on a FJ20 cruise to the Haven at Terrigal.

That's cool, but I think it's more the type of car she is talking about.

Something I find interesting is, it's now after midday AEST, or about 11 in the west and she has put up ZERO response to all the requests for more details and or correct directions to the picture she says exists.

At the risk of getting egg on my face, maybe she is all hot air and it's not an R30 at all.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
