buy coilovers and wind em down down down easy. might have to trim your bump stops so it doesnt bounce everywhere though heh

damn you robocop you just beat me to it haha im subscriber though so mine should be at home waiting for me

subscribers get it a week or 2 early ...

i think its a weight distribution thing ... nice 50/50 front to rear with SR in R32

its a 32 with an SR20DET in it and V-mounted intercooler etc etc etc bit rough but lots of good mods. its for sale on SilviaWA for 11.3k or something, or 14.5k once the guy has complied and registered it. he got it through prestige motorsport. its under the thread 'EOI:R32 Skyline GTS-T' or something like that.

i love my DR but i have only found like 2 people out of like 100 'car enthusiasts' that i talk to that actually know what an R30 is let alone DR30 (iron mask). im not even the full bottle on all the different models myself but it gets annoying explaining to everyone its a 30. i persoanlly dont like 31s that much so im adament with people that its a 30 not a 31 haha get sick of those people that go 'oh yeh i raced one of these the other day, wast bad pretty slow though' and im like ah yeh cool when i know every DR30 in perth and theres only about 3 that regularly see the road and one of them was mine before it broke and i never raced anyone coz it was never running properly! so these people are going round racing n/a 31's thiking theyre racing DR30s. but thats okay, once i get mine fixed with cage and big top mount turbo ill be able to give them a nice surprise

yeh you need intrusion bars now which adds a bit, then just belts, fluids, fuel restrictor .. normal stuff .. but be around 1500. but yeh u can import cars that are younger than 15 if for race use only but then you need a certain level of CAMS licence so you may not be able to do that but otherwise just bring in a really highly modded 15 year old car with cage and stripped interior, stuff like fuel cell and battery moved into the car for weight distribution improvements etc for like 10k$ and then dont bother rego'ing it at all and you can have alot more fun and probably be more competitive, plus save some hassles here. getting a very modded cheap GTR might end up being expensive if things break so probably a 32 or something would be a bit simpler...

hey people, my DR needs a rebuild as it has done the rings in first cylinder and done some damage to the bore too by the looks of the gunk in there. ive had offers to buy my broken car, but since ive got R34 Injectors, a HKS T04E, Cast Mani & Ext Gate, brand new Microtech LTX10S with sep coils, and a moly half cage all waiting to go in the car i think ill stick to it and rebuild it, but it wont be done till this time next year by the looks just curious what parts you people used if you have done rebuilds and how much it ended up costing you to get done? cheers

hm i like to do this one day coz i hate the huge gap between tyre and guard at the front haha wonder if s13 coilovers up front would bring it down more.. haha

hm i dunno how i define muscle car but i dont think the DR would fit that bill for me, although, as far as jap cars go, it could sorta be up there coz arent other muscle cars also based on boring chassis and share bits with the boring versions? although id probably call the DR a sports car (hence my vote) since its effectively an up-specced sporty version of the normal skylines really. plus its a bit less soft edged to be a muscle car anyway with electrics weight isnt as much as 'real' GT cars .. they only wiegh about 100kg more than s13s which are known to be pretty light and throwable...theyre a cheapo sports car i say but still sports car. plus DR30's dont have GT badges they have RS badges! GT is grand tourer, dunno what RS stands for but ill assume some race sports or something along those lines ... nissan didnt designate it as a GT so its not one of them i wouldnt say !

15 yr rule will prolly change soon so i recjon u can breathe easy

probably didnt get tint so that people can see inside and see the retrim/dash spray shit. its over the top but different somehow doesnt look too bad all curvey on a silvia, which is an acheivement.,., full comp is handy especially on that car, coz ull get some arsehole keying it, or trying to steal the wheels, or some person at uni/shops etc will open the door onto your car and ull be getting shit fixed all the time to keep the paint perfect, and with different pearls in it it'll be expensive full panel spray every time and probably still never match up best to get a shitty sort of one for now and just use any extra money you may save to buy some coilovers, exhaust, and lsd to begin with and learn to drive it and then step up to a turbo one . but again that car there would be no fun even as a turbo its more of a 'bring out on weekends and for shows and dont leave it unattended' sort of show car than a real drivers car bit gay to do all that to a non turbo in the first place though ive gotta say .. youd think he wouldve wanted turbo if only for the bov to go 'ptshhh'

yeah its big upgrades when you go big turbo. probably need to splash out on forged pistons and o-ring block and stuff too when you do that. but my ecu is already cactus with the hybrid cooler so i thought what the hell and got the turbo before someone else bought it! and then ill get ecu next and get it all in in one shot. saves some time and hassles later on. up for sale already hey? i thought u just got it all retrimmed and nice? haha mine already owes me 7k, and thats before ~2k of turbo install and ECU .... and then it has around 3k worth of bodywork/rust to fix before next winter comes around .. you could give me a reliant robin (the 3 wheel car from Mr Bean) and id still spend thousans trying to modify it though .. cant help myself haha

thats a pretty good buy hey! wierd but good turbo too .. thats off like 911 GT2 porsches and Audi RS's and what not .. very euro turbo for the DR i didnt think they would make that much power tho? 400-450 my turbo came today i just collected it. all looks good. wastegate screamer pipe is rusted thru at the base of it but its only a thin bit of pipe neway, plus il have to ditch it the get a pipe made that goes into the new dump pipe. dunno if the turbo will make 400ps as it is atm though only has 0.4 a/r

most of u lads have coilovers though so its just a simple matter of winding them up to get the best mix between looks/handling/scrape ! haha easy fixed exhausts always like to scrape since theyre the lowest point, sortof inevitable really
