How much did you sell your DR30 for?

Let it go for 10k, the guy didn't beat me down once, and is happy as could be, ive been told many times its worth more :( i still regret selling it at all. To be honest i think the DR30 was a better can than my gtr, not as fast or powerfull but its just straight up tough! :D and the GTR has 2530's, PowerFC, 100mm Cooler, injectors, 4" zaust, etc etc quite a responsive and powerfull package, but i miss the DR :)

That photo of the engine bay was not as it was when i sold it, i pulled that motor setup out before selling it. I sold it with a pretty tight FJ, haltech, VG30 and a few other engine perfomance bits. The photo of the engine i posted was how i first built the car, fully restored engine bay etc, ran up just over 500kms in a brand new chris miltons engine, made 200rwkws at 9psi, running the engine in :D I still have that engine in the photo and everything to go with it, im trying to decide what to put it in... if i found another DR shell i would use that :)

But yeh, would have nailed a std GTR with a rolling start :)

Roll on it would have to be close to the GTR wouldn't it?

What power was it making?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
