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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
