I am led to believe the Grey one in HPI #43 is FOR SALE. Check it out on pages 91 & 92

Contact Ben ELLIS from HPI Magazine on (02) 9741 3858

I have seen the car in the flesh and it's a minty condition car, VERY stock, but excellent condition and asking $8-10000.00 with 85K on the clock.

You would be hard pressed to find a better example and it's registered in NSW.

Check it out!

stu_r30 - That'd be benny's DR30 in the For Sale section. You're correct, it is a very nice car, gotta love that colour too!

Ghostrider - I believe that grey DR30 in HPI #43 has now been sold for $9,900, check the Autostyle website:

If I'm not mistaken, it's the third last Nissan in the list.

just wondering what either a turbo set up or the complete engine would be worth....im putting an l24e into my 1.2L hilux(1974)

gunna haul a55, but would haul more a55 with a turbo.

Option 1 Garage has an L20ET turbo & manifold on their web site.

But needed further is wiring, ECU, etc to make it all work.

More boost can be obtained using an FJ20DET turbo assembly.

Crimmo is what his face (can't remember his name) making all that stuff up for u?? Sounds like its goin to be a bloody tough car when ur finished with it!!

T shirts im up for one as well!! As far as arty designy stuff goes though im a shocker so no design's from this side of the fence!!

How would i go about doing this to my headlights?

thought you had a pic of a BMW for a second, if you want to do that try getting it air brushed on?? several coats as the light will shine through! that way paint stripper will fix it later..

theres a nice dr in the for sale section - 8g's i think, looks nice

and as for the shirt, matt, you've outdone yourself with that design...

seriously, would look pretty good and as others have sed, the r and 30 should be together  :D

car'nt take credit where credits not due, that design is ghostriders, but if you want i'll get a mate to draw up some of the ideas. this is some of his work..that shot is from the need for speed PC game and yes it is a r31 and r30 racing..mate drew the r31..his on line name is 75 degrees sideways..trying to get him to buy the purple dr benneys got forsale??

ive seen that thing done to lights before in some pictures when hunting around the net. they do it on that car with plastic over the lights im pretty sure, as the pic i saw was closer up than that one. not too sure how they do it exactly but its definately a proper plastic surround that you can get, probably coz some pple dont like the plain square lights :D

id say the best way to do it would be with stick on stuff similar to contact, you know like people use to stick on their headlights to do like 'eyelids' n stuff. i dunno where u get that from, car sticker places or watever i guess. just cut it to size and stick it on. then just peel it off and use some stuff to get rid of the sticky residue when ur done.

I would say its a different approach altogether.

remove the glass (by the way how do you do that, im trying to do that now), remove lenses and replace with a round sealed beam and then have some type of cover made to go over it. well thats how i picture it, and yes i though of bmw headlights when i thought that idea up!

somehow i wouldn't go to that degree

when i first got my car it had no headlights and i was thinking of getting ones from a s13 silvia that have that kind of look, i think they have 3 lights not 2 though?

    • 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.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
