that was in HPI mag last year sometime... i didnt read it though

wass it the one in this pic?

AHH30 was the plate i think? QLD too....

i love this one (NZ though)

thats the one, looks better in the light, so far all the r30's i've seen in HPI i've seen on the streets of the Gold Coast expect Bens White DR30. Mind you one was upside down in the middle of the road completly written off :glare:

that other one pictured looks very nice, great colour too.

Hi guys, at work today one of my customers came in this old timer HR30 import, ok he says he cant register it in NSW, it has no compliance plates just a manufacture plate.. I spun out when i saw it, It looked like it had a L20 turbo in it. He bought it from perth in the mid 80's for $7000, and drove it back here. He uses it as a workhorse & it shows. He says that everywhere he goes people ask if he wants to sell it.... Also he reckons that its " 1 of only ten brought to Oz" but i wouldnt have a clue, does anyone have an idea?

wowzers!

daily driver for sure!

some origional extras too!

I'd say its an 82 or 83 (the thin back bumpers have the black strip in them)

could be a massive job getting it back to standard condition

very interesting though!

One of Ten thousand maybe!

Not really, but there were heaps of 4 door HR30's in Oz, similarly KHR30's, although as they get older, less want to keep them on the road so current numbers are fairly small.

It's the Limited Edition's and DR30's that are more rare, although Powerplay Imports were still bringing in DR sedans up until mid last year.

As for the Passage GT on another thread, I have pics & specs in a JDM sales brochure that I will post when I get time.

Cheers

That is my old car (I put the IOF 003 plates on it). Zeb has been trying to sell that machine for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately it looks a little worse than when I sold it. I note a lot of those photos were taken in 2004 when I sold it to him. Still it was rust free and reliable.

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.
    • Tow a boat... people won't know wtf is going on 🤣 
    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
