Seems there's way more of a DR scene in south oz compared to WA too, I reckon if I organised a DR cruise in Perth u could counT the turn out on 1 hand :)

I reckon that has a lot to do with the fact that Tom Monkhouse repped his DR at just about every drift comp/ practice/ show SA had to offer for over 2 years so a lot more people have been exposed to them and how cool they really are. Back when I first got my DR 4 years ago (mine came off the boat the same week Tom bought his) I could pull up next to your average silvia/ skyline driver and they would not even know exactly what it is. To the point where I had a well known import nissan wrecker tell me that I owned a R30 with a HR31 front end transplant :teehee: , when I went on search for a new headlight, and yes I have never been back to that wrecker

I had the same problem with a nissan wrecker, Kept telling me they had never heard of a DR30, Didnt even know you could get an R30 in a coupe, they didnt believe that my car came standard with an FJ20, it must of came with an L24.... from what I believe the place also imports cars (probally fixed wrecks :P ).. which is quite sad

What happened to the really nice DR30 near Tom's house was black/white. I used to love seeing that DR and Toms flying around the place.

Where are most of these DR30's in Adelaide anyway? down south or something, cos I never seem to see them.

Mark.... does that banana dance mean you want to join the dark side? :D:P

where are these DR30's??? Since I got mine I have seen 2, one just the other weekend on the freeway

When Crimmo had it, it was quite a beast, 260RWKW is what i got told!

Infront of the writing, it has a INTERCOOLER cut out of a gold rectangle, I saw it on a few DR30's in Japanese photos thought it looked pimpin'

Shane you would happen to know if Crimmo used the Factory colours when he re-sprayed the car.. better yet if he has any spare paint left??, just a few minor paint chips I want to touch up.

If you dont know, I can get my brother to call Crimmo and find out.

When its on the road let me know so we can do some snaps, How is Dans DR30 going along BTW?

Haha yeah probably something around that mark, had the meanest idle i've ever heard as well!!

Mate, i honestly have no idea if he did or not, but be careful cause that black down the bottom isnt a flat black its a black with a blue pearl in it!

Rack and pinion steering for one thing :wacko:

As for a rear bar I wouldn't have a clue, Neame had one which someone had painted black which had started flaking but I think it went in the bin with the bent shell. Stuff that for badges, my car has been completely de-badged all of mine were a bit shitty anyway.

I can't wait either, if only I wasn't so lazy. I was way more enthusiastic when I started it. I just need to get moved into my house properly and bring down to my garage so I can actually work on it, it's currently stored up in my mates shed which is, way far away when you don't have a license. And with my new pay rise I should have a little money to finish it off :rofl:

Quite possibly he's an old schooler, way old school with an FJ 1600.

How does never sound? :dry:

Bah spoil sport :ermm::P

Got my insurance quote today, getting sent it in the mail tomz, just got the household bills in, so pay them off and get over the wife's birthday then its on biatchs!

My car is getting put on a trailer tomorrow to go to a workshop to hopefully be finished. Between work, fixing my house and getting drunk I no longer have time to do all fiddly little shit that is left to do. So with any luck this thing should be up and running in the next coupla months fingers crossed, after 4 years I'm not holding my breathe though. :/

It's a bit sad not to finish it myself considering the amount of time I have spent on it, but oh well I wanna drive it. Sick of seeing it sit there doing nothing.

It's now there. Said it should be out by the end of the week, then it will be pretty much ready for intial start up. owwwwww. Reckon I'll get D'd before it's run in, judging by the amounts of looks I got with it just on the trailer. Maybe that was just all stupid crap drawn on the windows in the dust though :D

4 trips from seaford to town over the weekend towing a car trailer, moving cars and hoists. Glad I wasn't paying for petrol. Time for bed now ;)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
