Do you have the log books? Le tme know what year photos you are after and i will hit up my friend.

So its been converted to a Sports Sedan...looks cool. But if youwant to restore it to its former condition then you have soem fun weekends ahead :D

DR30s are cool! Maybe even cooler then R31s!!! But they dont have RB20s so the R31 just pips it accross the line :D

Got the log books All numbers check out It's the real car. It had a number of parts from GMS incorporated into it over its Group A history

First log booked on 17.9.85 Owned by Murray Carter then Murray Carter and Bill O'Brien then Murray Carter, Matt Whacker, Clive Smith then me

First race 12.4.86 at Sandown. I'll post my prelim research on race history when I get to work on Monday if anyone is interested

Looking for 1987 or 88 photos in Netcomm colours

Any anecdotes or stories about the car would be welcome or comments on its history

At Bathurst probably 1987 it was the subject of quite a lot of in car footage I think because the communication system was fairly new. Does anyone have a copy of that I might be able to obtain or know where I can get a copy

It was also featured (I guess the communication system) in Beyond 2000 Not sure when Does anyone have any info on that programme

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
