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

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
