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 ;)

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
