Looking for around $20k or she stays locked in my garage. I may want a GTR but this really is a rare, unique and ultimately more collectable machine.

Contact Steve on 0414342094 only if you are serious and have the money.

cheers

Goodluck with your sale, hopefully someone in SA buys it :(

Thats a very reasonable price, I have been thinking of selling my DR30 aswell to get a KPGC10 'Hakasuka' replica, but just cant bring myself to selling the DR30.

Its good you are making sure it goes to a right home, there aren't many around, let alone in good condition :(

Hi Steve , your call but I think something more practical than a GTR such as an Evo 6 is a good look .

Godzilla has the aura but its a heavy expensive complex car and they financially break people all the time .

The Mitsy is smaller lighter and cheaper to hot up , bolt in suspension goodies are readily available and easy to fit .

In club level motor sport Evos eat GTR's .

I'm glad you enjoyed that DR30 as I did , but like with many things there comes a time ...

I really like the R33 I have , the more I drive other things the more it impresses me . Its hardly an E36 M3 but neither was the purchase price .

The Subie RX Turbo has its spider Vortex EA82T engine in the build phase and the constant AWD transmission is done , just looking for a closer ratio Liberty gearset .

The "SK" suspension is progressing well and I think it will bite a few unsuspecting Rex's in the twisty windies .

Its my toe in the water with turbo AWD though an Evo 6 is my destiny .

Best of luck with the sale , cheers A .

BTW DR fans , still have front struts/brakes and FJ ET manifolds taking up space . Also complete factory engine management system minus CAS .

Dennis , must get that DR rear X member to you . We have suspension contact at Minna so must pass it over one day - need the space in the cave .

Cheers A .

I am a little torn between what to get next. I have done the WRX/STi thing before and agree for a track machine the smaller AWD cars are the way to go. I was dipping into the 1.10's in Dad's completely stock Evo IX at Wakefield.

I love the DR and will keep it if I cant find something I want. I love the idea of a collectors car probably more than a track machine as rarity is always something I have striven for. The PNV, the numbered limited edition STi, one of a very few original model S4 Audi's (1995 model) and the DR are all cars I have owned that kept that ambition at bay. I would dearly like an original R32 GTR Australian delivered but everyone is asking big dollars for them at the moment. I am tempted to go back into a 2 door STi but after owning a Nissan, Subies are just so cheaply built. Maybe an Aussie delivered EVO 6 is a good option but finding a low km one for a reasonable price is difficult. The ride is also something which is death defyingly HARSH.

My daily drive is a Mazda6 MPS and that thing is the god of torque. I also think it would handle the rare track day with ease.

Decisions, decisions. Maybe I should just keep the DR and enjoy it for its rare outings (kids love it) and collect a few more trophies along the way. :D

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
