nice :happy:

umm why didn't you just hot link the images from car sales rather than download them to your pc then upload them to SAU servers seems a waste imo

chill pill steve....chill pill ;)

looks good dude. cant wait to see the pics of the mods rolling in :)

not bad at all. See, this double makes me wonder how people want up to $20 for the DR30s.

Maybe because DR30's have character...Maybe because the DR30 at one stage was the quickest car to come out of Japan...Maybe because the ATTESA system was being developed for the DR30...maybe just maybe that R31's are shit! And yes i've driven one and wouldn't drive another one off of a cliff! Would rather drive my DR30 any day of the week :nyaanyaa:

Clean looking car to mate, using it as a daily??????

picked up the beast on monday, havnt really had the chance to take it for a nice drive yet with the clutch being f**kd a all (should be done 2day)... plus a few tiny electrical issues to have a look at... but i rekon i'll be out on friday nite for a few laps after work :P ... mite see some of u guys out...

clutch got done 2day drives ok... every now an then it seems to drop a cylinder an runs really ruff, the oils not milky so i dont think theres a crackd head probably just the plugs or coil packs, dont think its been serviced in a while... its bookd in to turbo tune 2morro mornin 2 get the whole thing checkd out and a power run... fingers crossed theres nothing too wrong with it...

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
