I got a white hr30 coupe ironmask front, engineered rb20det with mods!

Ive been debating if im going to sell it or not i got a defect notice a while ago haven't got it cleared so its just sitting there. It developed a rattle in the engine so ive been apprehensive about fixing these issues for the roadworthy, knowing my luck ill fix it then the engine will go pop! Im in the process of getting a gtr anyway so its not going to be driven, till i get some time to spend some real money on it and fix it up!

In saying that though these cars just arn't getting what value i think there worth, personally i wouldn't even consider selling it for less than 5 grand if i couldn't get that i rather have it backyard as a decoration!

cheers

Brendan,

What are the mods and why was it defected.

How difficult will it be get it roadworthy and if so, how hard is it to get a 28 day permit so it could be driven interstate.

Cheers, D

Hey D

I got a defect for a brake light out, gearknob loose, handbrake too many clicks, blowing visable oil smoke, blow off valve. Got pulled up by a arsehole cop, pulled out of a carpark and because she was cold she was running rich so bit of black smoke came out the back of the car, he pulled me up called me a f%^king dickhead doing burnouts (his words exaclty) which i wasn't, i said to him he was unproffesional about his job and i didn't appreciate being spoken to in a unsavory manner, then i explained what he saw. Didn't sit to well with him so he gave me a defect the rat!

Besides that the Body is straight besides a tiny ding on drivers door, the problems with the car are in the driveline the imput shaft to the diff is cracked, left inner cv is work, the horn doesn't work, the rear shocks need attension, i had s13 coils in rear but one of them is rooted so i took them out and replaced them with the originals and cut the springs down, the diff has been welded, the 2nd gear syncros are shot, the engine has a bearing rattle and missing top window mould, drivers mirror loose.

As for the mods its got the rb20det, highflow turbo, link aftermarket computer, supra intercooler, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, 16 inch alloy wheels, lowered front end ironmask front, also has r34 driver and passenger seats, i have the original seats and original dr30 ironmask wheels.

Thats about it i think ill get some pics and post them for you too

cheers

Brendan

That is the right sort of money to be asking. I have someone looking at mine on Saturday and he knows that is roughly the price I want for mine and he is still keen. The only stumbling block could be his finance.

This is in south australia,

could be a fun drive home;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-DR30-SKYLINE...id=p3286.c0.m14

:) That thing was for sale as a rolling shell many years ago, I went and looked at it with a mate the day it was in the trader and my mate put a deposit on it. When we went to pick it up that weekend we got there to find that the wanker had sold it to someone else, quite obviously because the other person had offered more money but the guy insisted that his brother had sold it when he was at work. Quite angry about that one :D:)

My mate ended up with an absolute pig of a shell which he managed to scrub up pretty well

Have to be a GTSII or an HR31GTS/R, but no matter what, your gunna regret it as soon as you do.

Rent a shed and store one of them.

Hi Dennis

Well I think it could be a collectible

It's a GTS II

I said to the owner if he ever sold could he let me know first.

So He did 17 years later.

i bought it sight unseen from QLD and it is sitting in my garage now (trouble is I'm in Hawaii after a months holiday)

I don't get to see it till Thursday but friends and family who have seen it say it is like a new car :-)

1 owner

100,000kms with logbooks

UNTOUCHED

And as you know there were only 200 numbered ones produced

This is # 001 :-)

Marc,

You would want to get some paint protection on that really, really fast and as it's #01, lock it away for ever.

DR's in Japan, when I was searching through the auctions last night are averaging AU$11500.00 starting bid and I found a PNV coupe with an AU$15000.00 price tag and that's in Japan, no freight, customs, compliance etc etc etc on it to get it here.

Makes me more convinced that the good ones we have here have to be held on to.

Cheers, D

    • 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.
