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!!

good story, locoal friend who works at a car stereo place dissed my car 24/7 did some audio work on it, droped it off to me at work. and had a grin ear to ear. his words were "i may of dissed it because of its looks and age. but now i have driven it, i love it."

Every time i go their now, he runs out to just look at it lol

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:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
