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 ;)

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
