Just to throw a spanner in the works - no . That car is hardly neat and on closer inspection would not be tidy . The boxy bits may cover silly sized wheels but did you note the front wheel offset ? , that thing would be bump steer city . There's no way you could get  ANY reasonable amount of positive caster into it without the tyres eating the arches .  

The GRP A DR30's didn't look like that , and with the best of todays road tyres and suspension geometry findings you can do better . Ill take function over phat looks every time , function delivers lard does not .

Disco, Must you ruin everything??!!!! :)

Good call!!! But you have got to admit the man has got a point. For me the real pleasure of owning a hot car is driving it not looking at it, and when you are driving you dont really take that much notice of what the car looks like.

But disco you gotta admit it looks GOOOODD!

On the flip side, if you were going to spend all that $$$ on getting the car looking phat then hopefully you would have the sense to spend equally large amounts on getting the car to perform as it should.

With that in mind has anyone in Aus really developed a DR30's suspension.

ie wishbone, multilink (please forgive if question is stupid, I don't know shite)

Oh Yeah, I'm with stu_r30, whats going on with that front bar?

I wish I had a DR like THIS HERE imported for me rather then a dead stocker. I would have saved myself so much money.

Yeah but that would defeat the whole purpose of playing with cars and the satisfaction you get at the end of it...And lets face it, even if you got that car you'd still do shit to it, where does the modifying game end really????? Its one big viscious circle......

I know what ya mean but to start with a car like that would be so much better, already has built motor, after market comp and sus done. SO all ya have to do is improve on the base ya start with, rather then blow the amount money I have already just to get to the point where that car is at. That has got pretty much every thing that I am currently doing to my car minus a thing or 2. :uh-huh:

it all depends on your bank balance, patients and what you want as an end result.. with my car i have a list of things i want to do to get it to the point i'm very happy with but with each few weeks the list get bigger, more $$$, the list is at about $10,000 at the moment plus the $$$ i've spend.

Yeah,I hear what the man's saying,but damn......looks at that thing! Mini Tomica racer!! :stupid: I do agree about function over form though.My last (decent) car was a dead stock looking Pintara,with the motor seen in my avatar. 100% Function ;)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
