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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
