Hey does anyone in Vic have an R30 Coupe Going or not ? im looking for one has to be coupe can be a rolling body anything considered really I maybe be pushing shit up hill with a stick trying to find one but still

Cheers Marc

I will take a sedan if anyone has anything? so if anyone has a cheap sedan r30 rolling body let me know in vic is pref

I think this one in Adelaide for $5,500 is cheap. DR30 in Adelaide

Well I have had this car looked at by a very experienced person and I can tell you IT AINT CHEAP!

$2000.00 would be closer to the mark, as it has more problems than the DR I bought off D-limo in Qld, if you were wantin g to register it.

If you buy it for $5500.00 expect to be paying at least double to get it to some sort of reasonable condition.

The decision is yours, but it's not cheap.

Cheers, D

That's a shame because it looks good from the pics and they don't come up too often. I am in NSW and was not seriously considering buying it; but it is very exciting when DR30s come up for sale; then again I get exciting when N12 Exa's come up for so go figure...

Sorry if perhaps im not clear enough with my description of what I want? I would like a car to play with and build so maybe a grannys old 2 liter auto hr or a body with no engine etc just something for me to work with ill consider anything because everything has a price but id like to spend a $1000 or less really for a sedan I am not after a finished car if I must spend more I must, but looking at r31s for a grand must mean there are r30s out there?

There is a body at a you pick yard here in melb im looking at, but if there is something similar out there then great as something that goes would be more ideal (but it does not need to go well) just easier to get home lol, and please don’t tell me it wont happen cause that does not help

I will consider anything

you will find plenty of R31's, especially around the $1000 mark, but not R30's as they are alot harder to find.

even though I have owned 4 in the last 2 years only 1 of them are on the road and the other 3 were so shit they were long past registerable.

sure you might find one, but be patient. I will let you know If i can find anything in your price range.

I can agree with you about a shame, as I was giving it some serious consideration, so I asked a mate to look it over.

A further upgrade is after discussion with Ozdat, who has done a bit of work on the car.

The report says .... Thrashed severely, done a number of drift trials, no compliance & import papers and this creates a problem, as it could mean it was imported as a competition car, which means it can NEVER be registered. If it was bound for a road registered vehicle, in a nut shell it's a PIG, as a track car it's a possibility.

So! If I can't get it for about 2G's he will be keeping it for some other sucker.

says its rego'd and has number plates on it. but reckon possible plate swap??

i offered the guy something (pending inspection) but didnt want a bar of it. says goin into storage if doesnt sell..

All I know is it was registered when we went and looked at it when it was just a shell many many years ago. And I have seen being driven round a fair bit since then all rego'd.

Plus I dont have any import & compliance papers for my car and it is legitimately registerable. You dont need them once the car has already been registered for Australian roads. Heck my car doesnt even have compliance plates, but then again this is SA :(

At the risk of giving away the ace up my sleve ..

there is a red DR30 for sale in SA just put up on car sales yesterday its ugly ! but it seems cheep and im thinking i may buy provided it checks out this car was from melb do we know it?

anyhow im getting more photos from the seller and im thinking it could be me!

only problem i can see is that it does look as though its not a DR as its not facelift in saying that did any pre facelift DRs come into aus?

or perhaps it ass ended someones landcruiser and they could not get the parts ? i dont mind if its had a whack as long as its a good repair

fingers crossed posting this does not get it snapped up from under my nose or i may completely loose my faith in humanity lol

also out of iterest anyone in SA happy to look at the car for me un baisly as im from melb it will be a flight then a drive

i am aware that the bumper is wrong and the wheels are the wrong offset lol main things are really if there are any road legal issues

Cheers Guys

I have a stack of pics for it, about 10 or 12 plus a video of it running and it's a cop of a car!

Says it's rego'd but no evidence of this at inspection.

Has 1.5" spacers behind front wheels.

For those in SA, go have a chat with DATSPORT, because they have worked on the car.

Cheers, D

It's an 83 model or earlier, although it could carry 84 compliance in Oz. I have seen funnier things on imported cars, just depends on the connections in Japanese Auction House, but to have an 83 called an 84 is rare.

All early DR's were standard front as far as I know, Iron Mask fronts were brought out in S2 84/5 vintages, but will have to check my sales brochures to confirm this for sure.

It also has an off side rear exhaust outlet in the rear beaver, which is something I always thought to be for Oz only.

The HR31 front bar looks a bit ordinary, the way it's been done.

Lots of funny things on this car for me to spend $6000.00 on, but I gtuess it depends on how desperate one is to own a coupe.

Cheers, D

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
