benny_blanco Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Had them done after I got the car, chuck Taran a PM, he did them for me, I assume he still has all the information as they had to be made up off pics and measurements i took. If not I can have a look for his email. Got some Gaskets in friday, and some nice gold engine paint to match the wheels Though now im starting to think about getting some red paint and doing the calipers aswell Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202066-400hp-dr30-fj20det-powered/page/2/#findComment-3773529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 car finally arrived in perth, after much hassle. id recommend to stay clear of Moving cars/CEVA (TNT) when transporting cars. my car arrived in perth only to be accidently sent back to Adelaide. No reason given. Once it finally arrived they drove they car from the yard out to me, it idled for 2 min max and ran out of fuel. Its a condition of transport that your car has 1/4 tank of a fuel. f**k knows where the 1/4 tank went. was offered no fuel or compensation. treated pretty rudely and was denied the contact details of any managers to speak to. either way put the car on dyno just to check afrs, lucky i did cos it runs very lean once on boost. run was stoped at 6500 rpm due to afrs, but managed 301 rwhp at 14 psi. reving to 8200 limit surely gain a few more ponies especially with 292 cams. im confident itll get 400+ rwhp once it gets a safer tune and some boost into her car i in better condition then i had thought, and has had outragous amounts of money spent on it photochop, might roll with this combo for a while, then change the top colour, ideas?

IronmaskDR Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If you do decide to get rid of the front bar Ross let me know as I might be interested in it for my DR, plus I have a spare standard front bar as well if you are looking for one.

benny_blanco Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 that must be shit scary to drive, my car was crazy enough with 160rwkw, I would love to see what your power can do with a dr30. Is the car very driveable or only good in a staright line with that power?

Ross Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) engine is real noisey, like every fj. But with the cams it almost has a rotory engine note at idle. it drives nice, isnt powerful down low but deff not doughie at around 4k even off boost u can feel car surging fwd, once turbo is on song car just flys. revs up so fast on street. 2nd gear is completely useless even on 255 R comps. i havent taken any corners yet with any kind of throttle so i got no idea of how it handles in that regaurds Edited May 19, 2008 by Ross Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202066-400hp-dr30-fj20det-powered/page/2/#findComment-3878951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny_blanco Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 the very early series one I believe had them, they have the larger front lights, and slotted grille.

IronmaskDR Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 hee hee, yeh when I first drove my DR with 330hpatw on tap it certainly made the old freckle pukker up a bit and yeh I have 225 rubber on the rear as well and even in 3rd they light up pretty easy. Haven't been up to it's tuned 19psi/355atw yet, would be fairly interesting I would imagine. As far as corners are concerned I have found that on boost sideways is the best way around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202066-400hp-dr30-fj20det-powered/page/2/#findComment-3878981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNSV1600 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey Ross Nice ride did you have much trouble with WA rego? I'm keen for any updates on this beast as I've just aquired IronmaskedDR30's DR and in the process of building a motor for it the ex race motor from Mark Alford's sunny. Can't wait to get this baby running. I've been for run in mine with previous owner very street drivable until you mash the throttle and we had slight 3rd gear traction issues :lol: Deza Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/202066-400hp-dr30-fj20det-powered/page/2/#findComment-4628676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I heard this car was sold back to QLD and a fuel can placed in the boot. It moved and shorted out the battery....KABOOM one dead DR.

Hope that's not the case definately went back over east.. i was looking at buying it hopefully the kaboom part isnt true though the engine bay in that thing was unreal, definately had alot of time and money spent on it, and hearing the idle of the 292's was porn!

wal3rotor Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ahoy all. Yes its true, i bought the dr, and it now resides in qld. There was a fire in the boot during transport, however is now all fixed. Car is now 2 tone blue/gun metal grey. Just retrimming the interior at the moment.Brakes have been upgraded to 4 pot calipers at the front, however i would like to change these to larger units if i can find something suitable., Hydraulic handbrake fitted,and a lot more work gone into the engine bay. Bellhousing has been replaced with a one off dellow unit as the one it had was not quite right, and a beefier clutch is being sussed (adequate at the moment, but not for long) New fuel system (existing system was going to be inadequate for the levels of boost i am planning to run), and water meth injection also with the aim of 35psi boost. Hope to have some pictures up soon. By the way i am chasing a couple of excellent condition trim parts for the car, chrome front door trims (the ones that sit atop the door at the bottom of the window), the chrome trims that sit around the rear side windows, and the side r/h rear skirt that sits behind the rear wheel and runs to the rear bumper. The ones i have are ok, but would like some mint ones to really finish it off. Cheers all.
