Does that mean my RSX is a Racing Skyline eXtrodinaire? lol

Yeah, so buy more DR30's Actually, don't Then mines more collectable

Why do you guys use air freshener in your cars... don't you shower?

Theres a guy that comes into my shop that has a AZ-1 as a daily driver. It's pretty cool. Cheers for the pal sports link

Does anybody see many interesting kei models in Japan, or know of any decent sites with good pictures? I've googled a bit and can't find much I've picked up a cheap part time awd turbo Alto as a daily driver (80 min round trip to uni and back, sick of putting lots of km on the DR30) and I'm actually quite enjoying driving the thing! Its stock and gutless, but downhill its a lot of fun and not overly slow (which is saying a lot as the DR runs semislicks as daily tyres) I'm just interested in seeing what can be done (mine has the sohc efi turbo 550cc... looking at possibly going a F6A frontcut conversion) and what sort of looks can be achieved. Cheers

Yes

Can you find some time to take some photos of jap DR30's?

Just go for the TS and dont bother trying to get a good ET

Only fat bastards that need the extra torque go for SR's

Ben, yeah thank christ mine doesnt have the stickers

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31. If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

Whats broken now?

I'm getting sick of all the bloody "Nice R31 maaaaaaate" dickheads, I've even had people ask what type of Pulsar it is and a group of kids that thought it was a Scorpion

I've never had any problems with my standard brakes in the hills and I usually go to Flinders via Mt Lofty

Doesnt need skirts, it looks hot as is

ROFL I thought this was going to be a thread giving me shit. Yeah they are good hey. I'd be interested to see what theyre like with an RB instead of a FJ What Charade have you been driving?

It could just be the way you drive, I have a friend whose VL never uses less than 18L/100km and its because he drives like crap

Dunno about forklifts but it was in the Patrol in carburetted form. Andrew, I don't think its god, just good Anyway, I still have love for the '31s, you just get some better reactions when you bag a car than praise it. And secretly I did want to turbo my TI, talked to Grizzlor a lot about his conversion. I just think they'd be better with the JDM rear end, James (from the bbq) GTS2 handles really nicely as does Shannons Pintara but I think they'd be better again with IRS. Shannons car with its Y31 coilover conversion is my aim for the DR30, I'm in front as far as mechanical grip goes I think but mine is a lot sloppier and new bushes and heavier sway bars would allow me to use the tyres even better

Don't get me wrong, '31's are a good thrash car because theyre cheap and somewhat reliable, but I'd never bother to spend money modifying one

Karina, weight affects more than just quarter mile times. Straight line is passe. Drift is teh ghey. Real corners are good. Yeah, I know that a stock TI can be quick in corners, it just takes a farking good driver. My completely stock TI ran away from the rest of the SA boys up a road I hadn't driven one night, and that was all the others in silo's and GX's with filter, exhaust, suspension and tyres... But now in the DR30, with bugger all extra power over stock I can get through a set of curves soooooooooooo much faster because the car is lighter and sticks to the road so much better. I'm much happier with the DR than I was with the TI even though I don't like the round tail lights and other telltail Skyline bits that are on it or the Skyline stigma that goes with it. It's a bit quicker but feels so much better on the road, the only '31 I've been in that comes close is Shannons Pintara but thats got coilovers and new sway bars and stuff that I havent done with the '30 Fatz 4 door probably handles a shitload better because it doesnt have an anchor sitting in front of the front axles anymore. And I reckon I could whup your 11 sec TI's from one hills town to another

Nup, its a TI, its not worth bothering with. Actually scratch that... its an Australian R31 so not worth bothering with. Too heavy, live rear end, whiny diff and a VL motor

Oh god no..... theres no way on earth I'd watch that You do nit-pick a lot Karina, and RB30E+T's still make bugger all power in any case, George's TI is still making less than my stock FJ20ET I think I still think TI's are too heavy to bother modding anyway

*falls off chair*

Hmmmmm.... thats quite do-able. Only problem is that I rarely even use 124rwkw... dunno if I could justify it 110+mph trap speed would be fun though What sort of trap speed should a standard DR30 RSX get... 90ish?

How much did it cost to get to 350rwhp?
