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! :)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By wizlb · Posted

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
