Indeed there was. There was a Paul Newman Version HR-30 Skyline, it featured a nicer looking interior than most r30s, including a embroided Paul Newman Signature on the seats, also on the steering wheel. The P.N.V. also has a R200 LSD, and theres rumours it has a worked head. My one also has a factory turbo timer, electronicly adjustable dampers and a seat with ari bags in it for adjusting Lumber, Lower Back and Thighs :)

Anyway, there is a badge that is the Paul Newman signature and under it says Version in very small letters. Heres a Picture of it 374969083BXlSHy_ph.jpg

Thats the badge im after. I know its a long shot but worth a try.

Heres a pic of the rear of hr-30 p.n.v.374970182xgbAFZ_ph.jpg , it doesnt do it any justice as i took a PXT with my phone but it looks pretty nice when you see it in person.

Regards, George

Im after a Paul Newman Badge. They're NZ$113 from Nissan for one and im not paying that....

Hey there,

Cool its nice to know theres more of this model in the country,

My dad gave me his 1982 Nissan Skyline R30 GT ES years ago

Red, 4 door, electrics, turbo

Paul Newman Limited Edition version

Its been garaged around 15yrs so it'l take some work to get back on the road

From memory theres his signature decals on the bonnet and rear doors

Yip and the seats carried his signature too

Well just thought I'd pop in and say hi!!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
