Fairly sure I'll be looking to give this a go as well. Nice one.

This box is from the 84 intercooled version - hard to find this gear.

Christ, if you were closer I'd be after everything red! Mike.

Crikey how many Turquoise DR's can there be in Aus? Sorry my bad.

Lack of Power from that particular DR won't be an issue.............!

Here here. A good way to advertise ones own programs. Fags.

Been watching F1 for years ie ch.9 days big D.Eastlake and AJ. This truely is the worst coverage ever. I'm hoping the BBC Torrents start on P.Bay soon. FLOG in the ARMCHAIR, that's funny...........

Was at the track yesterday, bit of rain about but F1 practice was great as were the other classes esp. Shannons Historics. Watching on the box today, who are all these POONTANG SHOW POKE FAGS they keep asking for their opinion. This has to be the Worst Telecast by far of F1 I have ever seen. Get out of it Ch.ONE, I want Formula One not Womans Day - the BBC is so much better. end short rant. Go Toro Rosso.

Bloody DR/FJ sumps, mines the same. Not noisy when oil is hot/thin. On the need to fix list, has been like it for it's entire life in Aus......

howdo, You're keeeen, excellent. The DR count may have just increased! I think I read you're running down with r31club - feel free to join us -ndsoc if that's not the case. Sure Jason can fill you in on the details. Yes I've been copping a bit of sh#t for not attending H.R. I guess I got to the stage where the amount of Mustangs in my diet caught up with me, needed a year off to help with digestion! Mike

That HR30 is so nice....

Hey Jason, Ahhh there's nothing like a couple of good Princes on show...... Spot on. Yeah sorry we didn't turn up, we've done H/Rock the last few years and decided on a break this time round. How'd the Roo Stampede go? Mike.

Just wondering, who here is aiming to attend this event? Open to all vintages - Is a SAU group attending? Sorry haven't been on for a while......... For the record, I'm attending in the (r34's old) DR30 (my HR31 is no go just yet). Cheers, Mike.

Sorry, V8Supercars how dull. Bring back the Bluebird 1.8 Turbo - SOMETHING DIFFERENT (looks different, sounds different, goes different) to the boring old Norm. Rednecks Rejoice - there little ailing series has just been thrown a lifeline. Yeah, great one Nissan, sell more Family Sedans - fantastic.

Thanks Frank. Those parts I grabbed from you have gone a long way to fixing my problems. Best of luck mate with the rest of it. Mike.

Yeah I'm starting to think that way. The MR idea still has it's merrits and would be cool but............. You'll have a good time down in TAS Dennis - if you get time (half a day or so) and like a bit of "Off the Cuff Art" go and check this place out, it's 10mins out of Hobart at a Winery and is free http://mona.net.au/ highly recomend it, you'll walk out "effected" - well at least I did. Also, if you drive past the Shot Tower in Taroona just outside of Hobart, call in. Down below the touristy bit in the Tower is a tea Room. The lady there makes her own Jams, Scones and Cream - christ almighty they're the best I've ever had. Call in everytime I go down. http://taroona.tas.au/shot-tower I'll stop now! Plenty more though. Derby, great place also. And too many to take down, I can see how that will add up quite easily $ And Yes, that road looks familiar alright! Yes, there was and still is (but maybe not so much now) a Tassie North vs South thing. But the inbred thing, well - I've worked in a few States now and I gotta say that Tassie is not that bad, trust me. It's just some dumbarses on the Mainland who will comment on the place and people without even having been there. Think they know it all. Think they're funny......... Used to piss me off, but know I just look at them and laugh - "you dumb f#ck". Anyway.

Weldborough - know it well. Weldborough Pub - know it even better. Ciders, Ginger Beers and Van Dieman Beers. Fantastic Place, love it. Stayed there last Winter and planning on heading back this Winter to stay again. The people there were so nice, had a great time.... Wouldn't mind heading North to the NorthEast Coast for a look, meant to be magical. In my 30years of living in TAS I've never been right up there. Take your MR with you, I imagine it would blast through some of those roads esp. the one into Scottsdale (a bit rough now though) and from Weldborough back to Pub in the Paddock and the ST Mary's loop - christ I could go on, they were all lots of fun in my DR....... Regards, Mike.

I like those adds Dennis. However, after you've thrown it into the river try an old school Cascade Lager (Blue Label - it is full strength), only available in TAS been around for years - nice stuff. Why can't they sell it over here.........

Thank You for this info. A general summary is what I was after. So, if I took the time to setup properly it is possible, but otherwise it's a bit of a roll of the dice. BTW: Down the Channel is Gods Country, I grew up on the Eastern Shore (well 30 odd years!) and like wise I always go home 3-4 times a year. Thanks. Mike

Hi all, An R31 - yeah, to be honest I've not really looked at an 31, except the bloody one in my garage with no front shocks going no where............ Wagon would be okay. Christ JohnH, you're trying to sell me an r30 garage! Maybe a bigger task than I'm looking for with respect - I've got a couple to look at, certainly keep you in mind. And hey, I'm born and Bred Hobartian, let me tell you you Mainlanders (Australian's you call it) don't know the good life until you head down to TAS. Take it easy, drink Cascade Draught - not Boggs. So, simple questions: Would a well maintained STD MR30 on LPG with 4spd Auto hold 110km on FWY RPM wise easily and be economical? Do they run nicely on LPG? And how about just unleaded - economical? I'm reading on an old post, 8lt per 100kms HWY AUTO - Anyone actually get this or better/worse? Or do I just buy a Peugeot 405 Diesel and look uncool? Cheers, Mike.

Hi All, I'm in need of a bit of help. The need for a new work vehicle is here. I am thinking of buying an MR but I need some knowledge from those that Pilot them. Any comments that you make, I Thank You. I currently run an AU Falcooon, but it's almost shagged out. POS really. Not worth saving now. Too far gone. I have my eye on a rather STD '84 MR30 Hatch. Well serviced roughly 200k on clock. Auto 4spd. My Info/Requirements: - I have limited cash, 2-3k max. Monies being spent elsewhere......... - I drive 190kms a day, 6 days a week. - I am in prime FWY 110km zone 95% of my voyage to work. - I sometimes run a Country Short Cut which is sealed but ruggered, again 110km all the way. - I need to Tow 6x4 Trailer to Tip/Lanscape Joint. - Will have to go on LPG. - Vehicle will have to last me 2years min. - I am handy with a spanner. Talk to me about how good an Auto 2.4 MR30 on LPG will be. Thanks for your time, Mike.

How do. I am after complete STD silver top inlet manifold with runners, fuel rail+regs, injectors (if possible) throttle body etc etc - let me know what you've got left and if you're willing to unbolt + price. Regards, Mike

Ball joints go pop!

Couple of weeks late....................... Sacked the Camera Lady btw. Great meeting you guys, have to do it again some day. Mike.

Gentleman, start your engines. I'll be at BP 715. Mike.
