I think you should be looking at around 8 as a starting point for a nice unmolested one.

I paid a bit less than 9 for mine, I then had to get everything done to register it which ended up being about $1200 I think.

I think DR30s are old enough now that they arent seen as being worth less than say a R31 or R32 because theyre older, theyre more of an interesting alternative to a R32 or 33

Its like anything, spend cheap and get cheap, spend more and get a good one, i think 5k you'll be lucky to get one, i've seen them but they are cops, would take x amount of dollars to fix up...Budget like Adam said around 10k mark and you'll find some mint one's, mate of mine just sold his for 10k, and it was fairly mint, just look around cause there are some cops out there as with any car....

My mate has just imported this one and is looking to off load it. I haven't personally seen it yet just seen a lot of photos and looks the goods and a real stocker I think he's looking for around 6500-7000 uncomplied. May not be white but is really nice looking.

I belive contact details can be found here friendly garage. He'll be able to send you off a whole heap of photos. It's in Adelaide by the way.

Why buy a DR, I got an HR in Sydney, it's a bit rarer than DR's, it's a Paul Newman Version and when offered 10 told the guy he didn't have enough money.

Cheers, D

Dennis are you thinking of selling, or only sell if the price is right ;-)

What about Zapata's Paul Newman? That is white and it was for sale a little while back. Maybe someone could take that off his hands. see this post

If someone offered me a million, I might consider it, but otherwise NO CHANCE.

I thought we were going showing together???

Zeb's car would bre a great buy if he still has it for sale, he has a few extras for it now as he got some spares from me.

The good part about our PNV's is the rarety, hard to go past something when there is only five, possibly in the country. He says 3 confirmed, well this is also correct, as we can't seem to locate 2 for some mysterious reason.

All R30 series have now reached Cult status in Japan and getting one here in good condition is very remote. I know Power Play Imports have brought in a few 4 door DR's in recent months, but coupes are getting very scarce to import and the new laws are making it harder.

Cheers, D

We are definitely showing ours together, would nice to have George Fury's race car parked alongside to make a nice r30 menage au troir!

Zeb doesnt seem to have posted lately so I am not sure of the status of his car. Regarding numbers of PNV's I know of yours, Zeb's (my old car) and one that was in SA. I reckon 3 confirmed is probably about right. Makes the numberplates (IOF-003) on my old car still seem valid.

I was having the stereo put in my DR30 a month ago when apparently a policeman was in the in the car audio shop getting the radio's fixed on the policecar. The guys told me he saw my DR30 in the workshop and was blown away by the car. He couldnt believe there were any around and especially in the condition of mine. He wanted to buy it on the spot but the car audio guys said I probably wouldnt want to sell. They were right!

I got some small dents paintlessly dent removed 2 weeks ago and it is looking great. I need to get the aircon regassed before summer as it gets pretty warm in the coupes due to the large glass area. I will PM you Dennis about that Skyline badge and I still need to find some matching DR30 front seats. There were some on yahoo in Japan but they sold pretty quickly and it would be a pain to import them anyways. I also have DR30XX plates on it now.

I also managed to track down some missing wheel centres for my Volks on ebay from a guy in Vancouver. They should arrive in the next couple of weeks. Slowly but surely the car is getting to my fussy standards. I will try and post some updated photos of it in the next couple of weeks.

BTW sorry for hijacking this post! :)

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
