I got told they were defectable from a mate. but if you paint it who is gonna know

Tom said they measured the wheel arches. but he also said the cops had no idea, and were protesting it was an R31 and doing everything as if it were an r31 cos thats all they had on their systems. but apparently the car has gone through regency a few times at that height, so the cops must of been f**kheads. Yeah still has the Haltech in it, but someone is working some magic on it for regency You know more bout my car then me I had no idea bout the turbo. I only listened to 1/2 of what Tom was saying bout it...... I just wanted a DR30 and made my mind up bout buying the car before I had looked @ it the flesh haha. Now your making me look forward to driving my car even more =D

got done for a bov awhile back, then it got defected again. the defect i bought it on was for the height of the rear wheel arch being too low and something really minor I cant think of atm. Just been taking its time getting other stuff done, like air-flow metre switch for the computer etc. the 11th it goes through regency, so hopefully by that weekend the struts, etc have been swapped back I shall enjoy the FJ.... big step up from a pintara lol. the hard part will be trying not to kill myself in it haha

I agree with you there, even my slow arse pintara feels fast in the hills especially down Old Nortin Summit Rd. ... Im not much of a power fiend though, aslong as my DR30 can beat twats thinking they are top shit in their commonwhores, thats good enough for me.

A Charcoal kind of grey with a black roof, bonnet and boot. but if your gonna do it a blue how bout the same colour as the Calsonic GT-R

Yeah Crimmo sounds bout right.... maybe you know my brother Roger aswell. had a few rotaries in the day... last one he had was a black series 5, just has his falcoon now cos he got a house. was actually talking to my bro bout my car today when I saw him, got me to same conclusion considering its condition keep it looking original. maybe I was just getting over excited the last few weeks waiting for my car to return In the 2 months I've owned it I've only seen it the day I picked it up.. and a week before that to check it over before i bought it. the 11th it goes through regency and then hopefully she gets through and i can drive it best of luck with your DR hopefully I see it sometime soon around the place

struts im not sure wat they are from (could be from a 31) all I know they arent standard. it has coil overs. No front mount at the moment, just a standard one infront of the front tyre. I think I will get a front mount later down the track. they do stand out alot aye, It confuses people more when they are next to an R31 . plus they look pretty beasty. got it of a guy called Tom. was also owned by someone else before him in the same area. apparently that guy is now building a drift car with another DR30, cant remember his name though. .....wouldnt happen to know if a australian MR30 Dash will fit straight in... also contimplating making a custom dash with modern gauges/dials + hack up and get my brother to do some fibreglass work on it etc etc..... if I choose not to keep it stock looking. which is a big toss-up. Cos the interior is clean as, especialy for a car thats older then me. could end up being a waste of time + money. and how long before yours is back on the road?

Your ride looks pretty sweet. cant wait to see it on the road aswell. So far, its been lowered, struts, suspension, Haultech computer, R31 Brakes (vented), exhaust. cant think of anything else atm, but i know some work was done to the engine to bring it up around 160/170 rwkw, cant remember what as my knowledge of engines crap is pretty basic. not sure wat i want to do with it yet, my first car with any power so have to see if I can handle the car first. might get some of those carbon fibre mods from Jenesis for the wank factor though. but im also swayed to try and keep it looking stock as possible (minus rims/exhuast) might get a dump pipe, cos the exhuast on it atm is abit too much of a cop magnet.

Around the Athelstone area, maybe you?? there was also a gold/grey one with plates 'DR30' in Athelstone. if the other one you mentioned had gold Watanabe's and was owned by a guy named Tom, thats now mine. if its another, abit ironic they are all off the road. Mine should be back on in a few weeks though.

there cant be that many.. can there??

Yeah that answers my question Noticed a thread somewhere bout how many 34's in SA, got me curious bout number of other owners. If yours is the same one I used to see drive past, very nice car looked pretty mint.

nop but will do now, thanks

Just wondering if anyone knows roughly the amount of DR's rolling around SA. I know of 3 others another white and black RS-X (2 door) which i havnt seen in a good 2 or 3 years. and a gold/silver and black RS-X (2 Door). Im pretty sure I have also seen a Grey and Black RS-X (4 door) every now and then aswell. are there that many around or am i just blind?

Hey all, Just joined today. I would head out for this if my skyline wasnt defected; when ever you have your next cruise im keen to bring out my DR.
