Happy New year everyone.

I went for a cruise in Matt's (rsx84) dr30 with rb20det at 4:30am New Years Day

I must say, even though I've been driving a Charade while mine has been in the workshop over the last few months. Wow, simply wow. I was shaking after the "quick" drive. :wassup:

Now mine should have more boot when mine gets back. So now i'm scared haha

Now to my conclusion

I love Dr30's

But Matt's isn't a DR, it's an HR.

Just looks like a DR with the iron mask front.

Cheers. :ghost:

ROFL I thought this was going to be a thread giving me shit.  Yeah they are good hey.  I'd be interested to see what theyre like with an RB instead of a FJ

What Charade have you been driving?

Haha Adam, i'm not like that eh. Matts R30 is what made me want to go turbs. I personally think the DR30 looks more aggressive than the hr31. I love them

and right now i'm driving my missus's 92' 1ltr 3cyl auto Charade. :Oops:

Andrew,

I was only being a little pedantic.

At the end of the day, it's only a body and they're always going to be an R30.

I have been criticised by some, for doing an RB conversion to my PNV, but everything that has a signature or number has been kept, so that re transformation is an easy task.

Cheers,

D

Personally not my ideal thing to do with a rare car, but like you've said you have all the standard stuff to return it back to standard so go hard! I've got 90% of my standard stuff in the shed if need be as well!!

I love my DR as well, as much of a pain in the ass it is at times and the headache it causes me (and my wallet) its so nice to be driving something wtih a skyline badge but is different to every other skyline...I still have people asking me what a DR30 skyline is once they see it they love it!!

does your 30 get refered to as a 31? or are you refering to everyone saying 31's are the beez neez?

Matt's (hr30) is what made me want to go turbs. I've always loved them since Matt's. I love my 31 too, love it more when it's back on the road and not killing my bank account.

@ everyone, anyone who appreciates and loves their car has a hole in their bank account. At least I know that i'm not the only one blowing their cash on their car, but your right. When you drive it, it's like heaven.

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31. If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

That's because you're missing the all-important schtickers on the flanks!

Actually, that doesn't seem to make a rats arse of difference.....

Do you see a '24v Ceramic Turbo' badge on my car? No? Then it's not a bloody R31

:wassup:

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
