PHaT MR30

Hey well why not get the best of both worlds? Go the silvia with the skyline guts? and i wouldn't say they are a hairdressers car thats a CRX Delsol!!

parked in george st outside aquarius roman baths normally, occasionally in town of a fri/sat nite

Fully rebuilt Forged internal, TD06 (think got a new turbo now) and a full list of other shit its had alot of work done to it! and is bloody alot quicker than anything else about the place

As far as i know go to Brad at Chris Colgrave in Invermay, Advance Auto & LPG in Kingsmeadows are good for fixing and replacing stuff, i reckon they would fit an intercooler too, very good prices aswell. Other than that there is Rotek and White Hot Racing in Devonport (can't say ive been to either but Whites build some crazy fast race cars) And im sure Zsky and a few others could tell you whats available in Hobart

Oh and Zsky that R33 from hobart thats up here now have wound the boost right up and getting something in the vicinity of 300rwkw as far as i know

Pete That car is Pauls (Phat R33 on this forum) a good friend of mine, only got the car back on friday! there is also a white one with a carbon bonnet cwest kit and gold rims which has huge HP (the one that Zsky spoke of) Yeh saw that silver one yestaday too its a GTR from canberra, had a chat to him, nice bloke. has a big FMIC, Twin plate clutch and a nice exhaust seemed to go ok aswell

Just wondering how much a 2 door R33 GTS (NA) manual is? and do they come in different specs? I have a friend in his early 40s going through a mid-life crisis and he wants a sports car so i am just building up a list of everything to throw at him. I am actually interested myself as by the end of this year i am gonna need a more economical friendly car to run clients around in (most already turn their nose up at the silvia's noises)

hmm where to start!!! I get a click click noise when i start moving, the same noise but much worse at high rpm/high boost, sounds like a driveline noise. where do i start with wiring! theres heaps of it! sunroof closes to about 3" opening then you have to take your hand off and press switch again. aircon doesn't work cos some gimp took it out! main concern is my battery can go flat very quickly, its only a piss weak lil thing, but like when i was installing a cd player and testing stuff out it went flat. i left it for 2 weeks and it wouldn't start, charged it started it, moved it around. i stuck my head in and could tell just by looking that it was flat (fuel guage not reading, interior light not on) my skyline has sat there since july and i start that every so often and she first first time

ah ok you should come in town then, i think i may have seen your car a few times. We are usually in Bathurst carpark of a night which is near Officeworks

Yeh best way to go, just gotta do it the right way to save a few headaches. Once i get my beast on the road again and am heading down your way ill take you for a spin.

Pete, don't believe i have seen u on this forum b4, do you get around town much?

I have purchased many items from the US over ebay with no trouble so far. I bought an Alpine CDA-7897 and it worked fine. 1 thing you do need to watch is that you buy from a dealer in California, otherwise there is a good chance that it will be inspected by customs, you will get charged 10% just for it landing in California, and then you are definatelly charged GST when it hits here. Oh and by the way Cd player retails 4 $1600 i paid $700 delivered to my door

i was under the impression that the 2 gearboxes had the same guts in them? quote taken from www.datrats.com.au 'VL TURBO RS5F30A BOX (FITS RB25DET RB30ET AND RD 26DETT ENGINES. THIS BOX IS THE SAME AS THE GTR BOX BUT WITHOUT TRANSFER FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. $1500'

and when you have finally got past all the commo's and chook tins u will c there is a heap of imports down here, considering the population

Hehe, nice I think its a cigarette packet down here in tassie We wound the coilovers down low as when i fitted them in my silvia damn it was low zorst was less than an inch off the ground! gave it a 2F2F look from behind when sparks flew out the back, couldn't get in and out of my driveway though so i had to raise it

Getting like my garage! 83' Bluebird GX, 84' Bluebird TRX (current daily driver), 82' MR30 (damage currently being repaired), 90' Silvia (cracked block awaiting verdict), several VW beetle chassis (one imported from california) and then my parents several cars and motorbikes

nahh shes an IRS bum still what you mean by not DR ones? like HR ones? i was under the impression they are the same i am getting sick of import wreckers not replying to my emails or anything to try get some fo these

Mine has been completely converted in the rear end to disc and some other model rear suspension, still has a single spinner though unless its just rooted but i did notice it has F*cken huge drive shafts

its good to see you guys so passionate about your R30's!! Mine is on the road to recovery, amazingly the biggest dilemma is going to be colour matching now. could anyone suggest where to find some hotplate style DR30 tail lights as mine were damaged in the accident mine is ideally going to be a pimp cruiser so its low n phat, loud, and the interior will be blingin' (fluffy)

Well i sold one set of Volks this week, got another guy interested in the other set, hmm Titanium Buddy clubs anyone

sweet!! show us ya silvia!!

yeh no shit so am i!!!! i might paint my bonnet white and put GT stripe down it eh what u think?

Yay imports exist in tassie now not just in my mind, pitty mine won't be on the road for a good 2-3 months Wog boy is yours the Yellow R33 with white wheels? I know Taz with the yellow one at the pizza place, and the white one at peckish is a GTR, bog stock though

U get one then panda and we'll see which looks better than pressure pack!!

nope, i have to take the engine out after new years, and see if they can weld it up, else i need a new block and rebuild. if thats the case im going an RB30DET
