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!!

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
