Thats what i was thinking...but its his car and he is free to do with it what he pleases.

I heard a horror story; that Terry sold his 2nd R31 for an absolute song...im sure he now regrets letting it go for what he did. Especially since the Sierras/M3s that you can currently get your hands on are all triple figures. It seems he has learnt his lesson.

Seeign this car at Clader go tme thinking about doing an old school DR30, but they are pretty heavy and not that sophisticated.

All the mods were done by the previous owner/s.

As i stated previously, the current owner plans to have a bit of fun with it before reverting back to its original specifications (remove bodykit as well as a few other mechanical parts and possibly motec system)

Something horribly wrong here?????

Original car never had multi coil packs, ran a stock T03 with internal wastegate. Used a different steering wheel, the dash is different, where have the switches and warning lights gone where we have mirror adjustment.

The original factory cast manifold has gone, so to has the GMS radiator set up and the roll cage is different. Look at the hubs, as they have been changed as well, looks like bigger diameter wheels than the 17's used by Fred Gibson & Co.

The bonnet number is also another change, as the ridgy didge car just had 30 in white on the blue background. AND I don't think the colour is right, I thought it was a much darker blue on Peter Jackson cigarettes and hence the PJR cars. I also don't remember PJR advertising on the rear bumper.

Show me where the Bilstein stickers have gone and how come this car has 2 GREY front seats when the GMS/PJR car only had 1 RED Sparco driver's seat. The original car as I saw it would be hard pressed to fit a seat on the passenger side, for all the crap GMS had there.

I would like to hear from the other side of the tree (Terry Aswood) before I'm going to believe this is anything more than a replica.

There are FAR too many changes in this car to convince me that it's THE ORIGINAL PJR George Fury car. And if it is, it's a real shame as a piece of Aussie motoring history has just vanished forever. Maybe the new owner, IF it is the real mccoy should go visit a shrink.

Someone done a numbers check?????????

alot of very compelling points there ghostrider

The current owner plans to have a bit of fun in it then revert it back to the way it was and get it classified as a 'proper' ex group a car.

all he needs is the car's CAMS log book. I hope he didn't purchase it without that!

is this the one he sold cheapish or the $125,000 one in the add above?

i don't think your going to spent big Dollars on racing history then modifiy it to that extent just to race in a few weekend races?? unless you have more money than sence.

then again i wouldn't mind it in my garage regardless.

Thats the ugliest r30 coupe i've ever seen...Ciggarette adverts on skylines is tackey...

George,

Your half right!

The original PJR cars were quite attractive in original livery, but this car on closer inspection is a real bitser.

Do a google search for a place called Autopics and you will find some original race pics of the PJR DR30's and they're quite nice.

The original DR RSX body kit wasn't so overdone like the side skirts on this car. I know because I have an RSX body kit under my house. The side skirts aren't much more than large ridges down the side and don't extend past the bottom edge of the front spoiler.

This pic also includes a lower lip extension, which doesn't come on the original kit.

D

yeah just saw that link on another forum, i am pretty sure its a different car as this one wasn't purchased from terry ashwood.

IF it weren't bought from Terry Ashwood, IT AIN'T the original or successor George Fury/GMS/PJR car.

In my humble opinion, "I think your mate should get a manager"

And stop handling himself.

It could be the old Seton back up car as that was being campaigned as a sports sedan by some guy in Canberra for a few years. But that never ever carried #30.

Your mates a bit of a legend, in his own lunch time.

i met a bloke on the sunny coast with what he said was an ex gibson developed dr30, not a race car but a twin turbo fj20 experiment? he was driving the car at the time, i think i posted pics up in the origanal r30 thread i started here about 3 years ago..

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
