Hmmmmm...
If you want points to appear at a certain position (x, y) in the plot,
just specify x and y! I assume you only specified the y locations of the
points.

To plot your 30 points equidistant between 0 and 3000, you can try
  plot(seq(0, 3000, 100), y)

Please read "An Introduction to R". It is a really nice introduction to
make your first steps in R and learn much about it.
Having read "Section 12: Graphical procedures" you would have known how
to solve your problem, I think.
