Hey Guys,

Want to see something different?

Go have a look at ebay item # 2471197734

Came out to this country in 89 as U12 Pintara.

This is 86 Bluebird SSS, pillarless etc, etc. & great price if you got somewhere to put it if & when you fiddle with it.

you don't happen to have a spare tailgate strip, like the one in that pic?

A boot lip garnish eh! well that should be fun.

With Skyline on it??????? or otherwise???

How you holding for "Rocking Horse Sh1t, or Tits for a Bull, or Hens Teeth"?????

OK guys,

Special for all you people with Hatch R30's.

I have a Jap imported hatch up for grabs, not the car, just the rear hatch. Great condition, complete with wiper & motor. I paid $350.00 for it, but I'm in for offers.

Talk to me.

hehe i take that as a no... yeh the one with skyline on it!!!

They are PNV ONLY, to the best of my knowledge and as there is only about 5 in the country, you got no chance.

BUT! if you were able to come up with GENUINE of what I suggested, I might have been tempted to take mine off, as I would have made a killing selling the other.

']i dont use my aircon neway so i dont mind losing it on my DR30. its still there atm tho til i get big FMIC in. i just wind the windows down!

power windows ... would be good but meh its not that bad and if you want them, just go to an alarm fitter place and theyll get u the solenoids and chuck em in hooked up to your alarm for a couple of hundred or so, no big deal.

u sure yours doesnt have power steering? well i mean i guess u'd know lol. hm no power ive read does suck, very heavy steering. mine is 83, does have power steering. its a heavy power steering (i.e. u cant palm the wheel or anything like that) and u gota realy grab hold of it if u intend to turn a corner sharply with one hand, but i guess itd be better than no power steering.

but power steering cant even be that much to get?

i spose its up to you,. .. thats what seperates car owners i guess. i went from a Mirage (96) to an S13 sil80 (92) to the DR30  (83) and i dont mind it. never use aircon (uses more fuel and takes power) so i can live with it. the DR is more raw but i like that in a car.

though i do sometimes think that the outside look/"coolness" of the car that people perceive does become a bit tarnished when you actually own it yourself. (becomes more of a hassle and u notice things more than just its rarity and "angry" looks =])

just take some newer cars for a spin and see i guess? though remember youll probably never own one again or anyone you know so make sure ur over it before you sell it ... plenty of time for boring "modern" cars when your old and have a family! :D

power steering is a straight swap from a mr30, i dont have ps on mine and at low speed -40kms/h its heavy above that its a one finger job, go figure!! i have this car and a daily driver so that is something of a releaf as i can work on the r30 and do everything else day to day, not without a car, one thing that got me to get the r30 was 1150kgs with plenty of under bonnet room for the little essentals, quad cam v8, if i wanted. add the mod cons and you add weight 1250kgs for the dr30 intercooled turbo...

Better with nothin! mine has DOHC RS on the right side (driver's) of the boot lid & RS or GT badges on the front guards and Skyline across the boot lid lip.

It doesn't say Nissan, or Datsun anywhere on the car other than PNV on the seats and down the side.

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
