Oh yeah did anyone read the latest HPI mag as it has a dr30 in the SA drift section, not anyone from here is it? or know of it? bugger about the front, lol.

If its grey over black with custom number plates, thats Tom, pretty nice setup when it comes to performance too

Thats Tom in the last issue from the JMS drift day. But I believe that would be mine in the new issue from the Club PSI drift day. But from the front end bit I dare say it's mine your talking about, It looks even worse these days. I still haven't seen the issue but been told theres a photo in there.

Hey guys, i'm looking for a specifications sheet on the DR30 and HR31, any idea's? i would really appreciate it as im writing specifications for every skyline made, and i'm up to the DR30 and HR31, thanks.

Sweet Josh, looks good

I'll have to get some new pics of mine up sometime, changed a few things so it looks different now.

Crimmo, any chance of getting a look at how you did the coilovers and brakes sometime? (I was the guy with the R31 the night you locked the keys in the R33 at BP Gorge Rd, Andrews friend)

@@@@@ POLO SHIRTS @@@@@

Shirts are ALL GO!

Anybody got any input, towards what they should say or look like.

My ideas,

SAU Logo on the front and on the back 2 cars angled towards each other with R between the cars and 30 below between the fronts and maybe SKYLINES across the bottom, or Skyline Owners.

Will knock up a couple of pics and post them.

Something else though, if we use the word "Nissan" or "Skyline" we/I have to get permission from Nissan.

Cheers

is MR30 hatch Front Left Suspension the same as DR30????

All R30 suspensions are interchangeable, DR, HR, MR.

### BUT ###

The brakes & mounts are different.

The HR & MR have the stock 250 x 18 front disc rotors and DR has 274 x 22 and the HR & MR mounts are only 3.5 inches between the centres and DR is 4.0 inches.

Answer to your question is yes, but you have to change both along with the smaller brakes.

What specs are you looking for?

I can give you body dimensions, road clearance, brakes etc, but what are you looking for?

The DR was just a comp version of MR/HR.

got it a few days ago and if it is you then i guess your looking to get a new front bar!! these a caption with the pic that states " wheres my front mount, has anyone seen my intercooler" along those lines, bad luck mate. at least the rest of the car looks sweet..

what do they do? electronic valves?

put it this way the control switch has a hard or soft setting! was more popular in the r31 gts-x and gts-r. some sort of solinoid sits at the top of the strut...with mine one of the solinoids was rusted badly...

ghostrider: do you have the control switch is i have one that can go to the same home! free as well (i'm not using it).

what do you think of this on the back " i got that car so i could get this t-shirt" :jk:

its all good to use the SAU logo though isnt it? if so what if that was on the front with a outline of an r30 underneath (small) Then on the back your looking at a 2door and 4door facing each other 3/4 veiw, put at the top of the back of the shirt, then under that something like "R30 Division/Skylinesaustralia.com" if we went that way then having nissan/skyline permission wont be needed if we have permission from skylinesaustralia.com?

OK Guys,

This is our FIRST prototype, What do you think?

Combines a few ideas, come back to me with your thoughts.

Hey all, interesting thing happened to me the other day. I was just driving along kind off sensibaly (Kind off), when all of a sudden, my car was making a horrible grinding noise from under the bonnet. Very soon after (I pulled over as soon as i could) it had overheated.

The problem turned out to be the water pump, the drive shaft had sheared in three places.

Just thaught that it was kind of odd, breaking in thee places.

Anyhow, if anyone has, or knows of a DR30 for sale, i am interseted.

Also, what is the going price for one in good nick, with some mods?

I have possibly found one for $13000, it had a bunch off trust gear, (BIG turbo, dont remember what model) front mount intercooler, three inch exhaust 50mm wastegate etc.) Also coilovers, and it is an ironmask. and four door. Build is '85'.

Unsure of km's, waiting on more info.

Is $13000 exxesive?

Any help apprecciated, Mick.

Ohh yeah, if anyone has a non injected skyline (L series motor) I have an injected heead, complete with ECU) if your interested let me know. (Also a auto trans (out of Aussie R30))

Cheers again, Mick.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
