for some reason i cannot edit my above post...

adams one is not road worthy and he is going to sell it for parts.. i think. if your still interested let me know and ill talk to him

He will only be good for parts and

then only some parts, stuffed rear shocks, worn tyres, tacho doesn't

work, rear brake pads are gone, and I think thy're leaking fluid now

too, handbrake cable sticks, cracked injector casing, crack in

windscreen, broken rear quarter pane on drivers side rear door, so

pretty much only good for parts.

how cheap is cheap???

i may let mine go for the right price... like $2500 MINIMUM

add another $1000 for complete turbo conversion

lol I was thinking around the $1000 mark for one that is able to be a reliable daily driver... :P

I dont have any plans to mod it, just as a daily.

hahah..

famous last words!!!

seing as the R30 platform was the first development chassis for the atessa system, they are actually a very potent package!!

stock, a bit sad.... modded = FUN

there are normally a few on ebay at least once a month, not really in good nic though... the loval one adam is selling will be a good parts source... i just gotta wait until i move before considering purchasing it

but mine is 100% rwc, has a bit of rego left, nothing to spend really.

reason i want to sell is im 190cm and prefer a 2 door variant... either DR30/FJ20et or HR30/L20et

Look Ive found something something im pretty keen on, my R30 hatch is up for rego in a month or so...

I will let it go for $2000 with rims, all serviced ready to go.

All you need to do is get rego put on it (currenly VIC registered)

Even if you did find a $1000 doer upper, you will be spending $1600 getting it ready for rego etc.

I spent $1600 just over a year ago, getting the brakes done, exhaust all sorted, timing/tuning/gas analysis stuff... all at NISSCO in bayswater (a reputable rally/datsun specialist in melb)

i need parts from a r30!

if u could get that adam guy to contact me via email [email protected] that would be great

i dont really know much about cars and i crashed my 1985 mr30 into a gutter and the back wheel is completely bent in doez any1 have ne advice?

i let adam know this morning.. i will post up his reply

EDIT:

adam wants to get rid of the car this weekend. apparently some one is after the gearbox. if anyone who wants anything out of his DR30 can send me their info by PM ill pass it onto adam

Hi all

The Adam mentioned above is me, and I am looking to sell the old R30 Ti. I have been speaking with MAG86 about the possibility of a transaction and he's shown some interest. The car was loaned to an employee of my mothers for a period of timje and has some mechanical issues, as a result of his lack of care. IMO the car is past the point of cost effective repair as some bigger dollar items are needed, like new rear struts, 4 tyres, new right rear door quarter pane, new rear pads and a full bleed, handbrake cables are sticky due to worn dust caps (these can be freed by soaking in kerosene or diesel and then lubricting well with a penetrating lubricatant or adhesive grease). the car has few other issues, that Im happy to disclose, but has many good parts to donate to other better condition vehicles.

I will not be parting out the vehicle myself, and if by chance i do feel inclined, i would only go as far as a rolling shell so its easy to get to the wreckers.

Regards

All, My DR30 is sold as of today it has become someones new parts pony. It was a most interesting drive to their house as whilst the car has sat for a while the brakes have f*@ked themselves... 80 to 0 braking distances = still calculating. lol

the brakes have pissed themselves all over the garage floor! at least it will keep the cockroackes at bay for a bit

and they are truly FFFFAAAARRRRKEKEEDDD, only real way to slow down is knock it into reverse and feather the clutch before the house gets flattened

MAG86 you were warned, but besides the brakes you should find it a good resource of parts. Speaking of parts, I used to know where to get them from the wreckers in Canberra and QBN but lately they all seem to have been scrapped. Good luck with the works, maybe catch you at JDM fest on saturday.

Ill keep an eye out for any other DR30's that might be up for sale.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
