Hey all,

Been looking through here for awhile, didnt really post.

About a week ago, picked up my first HR30 :D

Pics are located in the link at bottom of this post.

Brought of a mid 40's asain lady, family owned for 11 years.

Didnt pay much for it.

As you can see in the pics, its had a hard hit in the rear.

It will most likely be turned into a cheap drifter due to the damage but if i can do most of the panelbeating myself and fix it for a sensible cost, it will be my new daily driver :D Will also let my learn how efi and turbo works.

Unfortunally it is auto (which will get a ca18det box soon) and it is currently having issues with a alarm and imobiliser.

R200 LSD is gone too, R180 4.11 single spinner has been fitted :D

Feel free to comment and give me idea's on how to modify it.

Another pic of progress, slowly getting better.Removed the boot spoiler. Dont mind the rear wheel angle, it has no diff in it at the moment.

I might have to cut up a MR30 rear end and see what metal i can make use of and find a way to pull teh quarter panel up coz its sagging near the taillight (look at the boot line)

Cheers, :D

Hey,

Not much progress lately..... got a question though. Does the hr30 strut have 100mm caliper spacing like the dr one?

Oh and aussie spec r30 seems to have the same rear quarter panel! alot cheaper than getting 2door quarters :lol:

Cheers!

Well seeing that it starts and all....I thought id change spark plugs, oil, oil fitler and fuel filter.

What oil filter and fuel filter should i use? Aus spec r30 ones?

And what spark plugs and maybe even spark plug gap should i use? ;)

Cheers!

Dan,

The Aussie Sedan & Import Coupe rear qtrs are different, so don't get sucked in by some assumption.

I think you will find the coupe's have a longer rear and for sure they have 2 different part numbers.

Any dealer will tell you that different part numbers means a difference somewhere.

May I suggest you go find an aussie sedan in a wrecker and measure the length of the bootlid each side, centre, etc, but I have given you the coupe part numbers already.

Cheers,

Dennis

Ill probally be only using the bottom half of the 1/4 (thats where all the creases are).  I got a rear trim of a Aus spec r30 and its the same and fits perfectly. So my guess is its pretty much the same sh*t, but next time im at the wreckers ill measure.

Cheers!

Oh and any news on that bank deposit ? :)

Bank deposit confirmed, gave parcels to mate to post tonight, should see them shortly, either later this week or next.

Interesting what you say about that side trim, maybe I should get a sedan bootlid and compare, but all importers claim they are different.

Cheers,

Dennis

Dennis,

A guy on here has a new boot for sale and says its a few inches longer. Maybe this is so but i think the actually panel is the same and the boot jam bit is different to compinsate for the longer boot. And also the sedan looks like it has abit more bulgier rear windscreen which could also mean the rear boot would be smaller.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
