Just wondering if anyone knows roughly the amount of DR's rolling around SA.

I know of 3 others another white and black RS-X (2 door) which i havnt seen in a good 2 or 3 years. and a gold/silver and black RS-X (2 Door). Im pretty sure I have also seen a Grey and Black RS-X (4 door) every now and then aswell.

are there that many around or am i just blind?

That white over black 2 door which u haven't seen in a good 2 or 3 years might just very well be mine....I still have it yes, its sleeping atm, just built a house and wedding coming up, all kinda taking precidence over it right at this time..

I know of about another 7 dr30's in sa, 3 or them are off the road atm though, 1 getting ground up rebuild, and 2 rebuilding motors (poor tune resulting in a melted pistion and snapped a conrod bolt on the other one)..

That answer ur question?? And why the question to start with????

Yeah that answers my question :P

Noticed a thread somewhere bout how many 34's in SA, got me curious bout number of other owners.

If yours is the same one I used to see drive past, very nice car looked pretty mint.

Haha no problems...

What area did you used to see me drive it past?? There's another one that looks like mine getting around, but his is off road atm...

And i don't know how many dr's there are in adelaide on the road, i know a fella down south has about 4 or 5 of em, but i don't know what he's doing with em all...i heard he was wrecking a couple but who knows!

Around the Athelstone area, maybe you?? there was also a gold/grey one with plates 'DR30' in Athelstone.

if the other one you mentioned had gold Watanabe's and was owned by a guy named Tom, thats now mine. if its another, abit ironic they are all off the road.

Mine should be back on in a few weeks though.

I had a mate who lived on glynburn road, used to be around there a fair bit...He had a gold 4 door with an Rb20 in it and then a white 2 door with gold wantanabe's with a pretty serious motor in it, but his name wasn't Tom, it was Phil..Monkhouse still has his last i heard, his is grey over black though!!

If you have a look at www.pbase.com/stnzaboy/dr30 there's pics of my car there!

What you doing/done to yours????

Deluxe : Neame's car should be a beast yes, unlucky to have his piston melt though, good excuse to build a tougher motor lol!!! Josh's car should be just as tough as well when he's finally done it!

Twas a beast just before it most recently blew, and as for Josh's car.............. Still waiting....LOL

Your ride looks pretty sweet. cant wait to see it on the road aswell.

So far, its been lowered, struts, suspension, Haultech computer, R31 Brakes (vented), exhaust. cant think of anything else atm, but i know some work was done to the engine to bring it up around 160/170 rwkw, cant remember what as my knowledge of engines crap is pretty basic.

not sure wat i want to do with it yet, my first car with any power so have to see if I can handle the car first. might get some of those carbon fibre mods from Jenesis for the wank factor though. but im also swayed to try and keep it looking stock as possible (minus rims/exhuast) might get a dump pipe, cos the exhuast on it atm is abit too much of a cop magnet.

Yes, i heard it was quite the beast....Josh works about as fast as i do, so don't expect anything in a hurry lol :(

Cheers, it does the job...Gets a few "wtf is that" looks when i drive it...People can't seem to figure out what it is lol

Who did you say you bought the car off of???

Import R31 struts?? Coil overs?? No front mount cooler or anything??? Thats about what my car is making, but im doing it on only 8 pounds with some very strong lack of fueling in the top end lol!! Have adjustable fuel regulator in store for it to see if i can't richen her up!!

Strong tip is those carbon fibre pieces from jenisis are ALOT of money hey, like a bonnet is around 2k purchased, then shipping + insurance + all the little bits and pieces...Not worth it in my eyes hey! Would love to get some of that stuff over though, be so rad!!

struts im not sure wat they are from (could be from a 31) all I know they arent standard. it has coil overs. No front mount at the moment, just a standard one infront of the front tyre. I think I will get a front mount later down the track.

they do stand out alot aye, It confuses people more when they are next to an R31 :rofl: . plus they look pretty beasty.

got it of a guy called Tom. was also owned by someone else before him in the same area. apparently that guy is now building a drift car with another DR30, cant remember his name though.

.....wouldnt happen to know if a australian MR30 Dash will fit straight in... also contimplating making a custom dash with modern gauges/dials + hack up and get my brother to do some fibreglass work on it etc etc..... if I choose not to keep it stock looking. which is a big toss-up. Cos the interior is clean as, especialy for a car thats older then me. could end up being a waste of time + money.

and how long before yours is back on the road?

I know that car, and i know the previous owner who sold it to Tom...Used to be owned by crimmo! Has a VG30 roller bearing on it (or did have when he sold it), was a really mint car, alot better inside then mine is! He sold his other dr30 shell to his engineer who sold it to my brother if, and the 180 shell he was building up he sold as well....Got outta cars i beleive!! He sold the DR30 to get a R32 GTR! Bastard!!!!

Leave the interior alone, if anything all i wanna change in mine is a different drivers side seat and lower the seating position a bit, apart from that im not touching anything! I've got an apexi boost gauge in there, i wanna put a couple more gauges in there but thats it....Love the 80's styling hehehe :D I prefer the sleeper styles, nice and clean on outside alot of go under bonnet ;)

Yeah Crimmo sounds bout right.... maybe you know my brother Roger aswell. had a few rotaries in the day... last one he had was a black series 5, just has his falcoon now cos he got a house.

was actually talking to my bro bout my car today when I saw him, got me to same conclusion considering its condition keep it looking original. maybe I was just getting over excited the last few weeks waiting for my car to return :)

In the 2 months I've owned it I've only seen it the day I picked it up.. and a week before that to check it over before i bought it. the 11th it goes through regency and then hopefully she gets through and i can drive it :(

best of luck with your DR hopefully I see it sometime soon around the place

Roger rings a bell, i've heard the name around before though!

Yeah i definatly know your car, Crimmo told me that the fella he sold it to got it defected, did him for a bov or something??? How much longer till you rekon its back on the road??

My car you prolly won't see this side of christmas i don't rekon, house + wedding taking up alot of time and money, money's everything lol!! Enjoy the fj experience lol!!

got done for a bov awhile back, then it got defected again.

the defect i bought it on was for the height of the rear wheel arch being too low and something really minor I cant think of atm. Just been taking its time getting other stuff done, like air-flow metre switch for the computer etc.

the 11th it goes through regency, so hopefully by that weekend the struts, etc have been swapped back :(

I shall enjoy the FJ.... big step up from a pintara lol. the hard part will be trying not to kill myself in it haha

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
