Thinking of finally buying a GTR after many years deliberating but will only do so if my beloved DR30 goes to a good home and for the right price. We all know these machines have appreciated in value in recent years and this is probably one of the best in Australia. I was going to keep the DR and buy a GTR to put beside it but a new place and finances will prevent this. Dont really want to let go of the DR unless I could find something else exactly what I was looking for. Hence my swap list at the bottom of the post.

Ok in terms of swaps I would consider the following with cash adjustment your way:

Aussie delivered 1991 R32 GTR

1994 R32 V Spec II GTR

1997/1998 R33 Series 3 V Spec GTR

they must also be in comparable immaculate condition with low kms. Modifications ok but must be mild and in keeping with the originality of the car. Colour preference is black, silver, grey, white, blue, maroon. Definitely not purple! (sorry just personal choice :P )

Obviously would prefer NSW car as it would be an easier transaction.

New Year and thinking of another car (terrible New Years afflictions!). If no joy she remains in the garage.

Now done 111000 kms (only done 300 kms in the last 4 months!)

Swaps as per before but would also consider mint KGC10 or KGC110 GTR replica or mint RB powered 240Z/260Z with appropriate cash adjustments.

Got a good lead on an Aussie delivered GTR from a mate. I need to move fast on that one and will take $16k firm for the DR. She is currently getting all the fluids changed to keep everything fresh. If I miss out on the R32 I will take the DR off the market.

cheers

Now regoed until Feb 2010 and had all the fluids changed. Aircon was also regassed and suspension tweaked. I am thinking of a change in direction and considering a tarmac rally car. The DR is too nice to do that and so it is still available. Chuck me a reasonable offer and I will consider it.

hey there...

is the engine farily standard??

any idea of power output?

No engine work. Only change is the 3 inch exhaust cat back. It has been recently serviced with all the fluids changed including gear box oil, clutch fluid etc. No idea of output, prob pretty much standard power of around 150kw but in a lightweight DR they are certainly quick enough.

$15k firm. Rego till January 2010. Absolutely nothing to spend. I have my eye on a nice tarmac rally machine which I hope to settle the deal on in a few weeks.

My DR stock standard with a full 3" from turbo exhaust did 119rwkw so I'd say it would be around there if not a little lower due to standard dump and front pipe.

Always wondered what they would put out at the wheels...cheers.

Car is going on Carpoint this weekend. If you want a usable classic with no faults and show winning condition, here is your opportunity.

My new beastie has now arrived and whilst I have access to my mates garage to store the DR30 I dont want to wear out my welcome long term. It is now on carpoint but the asking price there is not reflective of what I sell it to a genuine Skyline enthusiast. PM or give me a call if you are interested.

Any engine pics?

Cheers.

The only pic I have is when I bought it over 3 years ago. It is a bit cleaner than this now but you get the idea.

Hey, i'm keen on the car but only problem is i live in vic. Do you know how hard it is to transfer the car over from nsw to vic reg? I dont mind the drive but i just wouldnt want any headaches transfering the reg over.

I not really sure on rego requirements in Victoria. My golden rule has always to buy a car in my own state to avoid those hassles.

Nevertheless, it has import improval (TIC sticker under the bonnet) and had an engineers certificate lodged with the NSW RTA when it was imported (i.e australian spec seat belts, side intrusion bars fitted etc). Everything works so a RWC should be no problem. The only thing that would need to be done for a fresh engineers approval in Victoria (if required) would be to re fit the child restraint harness bolts in the rear parcel shelf (I removed them when I put in the new parcel shelf as my kids are old enough now).

I suggest you contact VicRoads and ask them as I would hate for it to go pear shaped!!

cheers

    • 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?
