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?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
