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! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
