stagefumer11 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hey guys well its about time i put up some pics of the Hr30 coupe. Now im going to need help. Here is a little story to keep you lot in formed. I got this r30 5 years ago from my grandfather. Lucky for me it was handed down to me at no cost, but for me to get Her back on the road. Now as a young lad. Well you know how you would feel. Your first car Is a old school classic skyline. The great thing, They had it from brand new. So i know the whole history. (which wasnt the great). The gist of it is, I replaced over 20 items in the car over these years, The first time getting it on the road, consisted of ball joints seatbelts, tires, headlights, ect.. i wont go on. Here is one of the first pics i got, Only had her a year at this point, She was road legal. From that, It was a matter of fitting a rb20det turbo after the facotry one blew, I could only run 8psi which made 108rwkw. Upgrading the turbo, and a larger FMIC, And many other mods that came in the process, It made 132rwkw on 16psi or so. 14months ago, I got her painted, Here are some pics from that time The time has come, Where the l20et is pretty tired, She has done a nice 480,000k And the missis 1800cc MX5 started to become quicker (lost alot of power) From this point onwards i dont have pictures, So descriptions are all i can give, At this time, the l20et has been removed, A N42/42 l28 is being rebuilt, A custom RIPS intake is going to be made. I have a Large Holset hx30 Turbo rated to a nice 500hp, And new and excessively large intercooler. And ofcorse alot more stuff to come, The most rust repairs. Now this is where the fun begins. I am painting it again. Since the last job was a crap rip me off job it needs to be redone. Im looking for a new scheme to which i can do this in. Dont take me wrong i love the red over the black/blue perl that it has now. But maybe for something more modent. Id love for some of you guys to work some magic and see what you can come up with. here are some of my tryes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagefumer11 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Spent the weekend fibeglassing the flares. I used thing 5mm hardboard glued to the face of the flares to produce a sharp edge (you can see in the old pics) We glassed over them to seal them off. Here is some pics of the finial product I put down some matt black to check finial lines to see it was the right shape. Its starting to take shape. This is on the of the rear flares to show what it looks like with a simple rough in..... **cough cough** love that fiber glass dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagefumer11 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 A little update. Not much, I jacked the Ol girl up off the ground, Droped in the l28, Mocked up my intake. Big pain in the ass is that the hx40w turbo and the stock exhasut manifold causes it to hit the crossmemeber and the engine mount. Im now after a larual l20et exhasut manifold which locates the turbo back more a good 60+mm Anyway here are just some random pics of goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
