Have never seen one in this country, but the front grille and headlights often turn up on Yahoo Auctions ~ Japan, but they want a bomb for them as anything R30 is now cult status in Japan. An HR30 coupe like Harry's old car used to sell at auction for about 150000 yen, but today your lucky to get anything reasonable for about 500000 yen.

if someone was after a true one of a kind (in australia) then this would be it....

harldy anyone out there actually knows what this is (or recognise it!)

if i was fully loaded, i would bring it over, take out all the running gear and rebuild it all and then put it in a shed, then drop a nice Rb30, CA18det, RB20det.... L28et whatever the budget desires

one day (like 10 years) this car with all the origional gear in it would be worth SHITLOADS

(so make it last till then, and put the z18 thing back in etc...)

yeh i was lookin at the black thing!...SHINY!!!

there are alot of R30 available for minimal cost, but hardly any are good enough for compliance, and thats where the money is for the importers!

i do know of an importer with 15 DR30s, one with a FJ24det....... but thats his personal one!

I would kill to have an FJ24... and a turbo conversion aswell??? f**k im jealous that engine would be worth a fair fortune.

I did hear DR30's are easier to come by then R32s these days in Japan... when you see pictures of the car yards over there full of DR30's I can see why.

How come most arn't good enough for compliance??? they are in shitbox condition? or to do with other things?

mostly because they are 20+ years old now and most are in fare condition, you could import one your self but to import places only the good condition examples will make them profit $$$....

an FJ24 alone is a very sort after engine and worth a mint to any nissan fan, could be worth more than most of our cars.

i remembe reading an artical about the fj24 around 10 years ago and they were very rare then...

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
