this is how they were in 86 and early 87

and this is how they looked for the rest of 87 season

shame it is so far removed from original with the bodykit, dash etc

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?????????

[hrd-hr30]

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!

Harry,

Bet there isn't one.

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

[s12rsx]

BIGGER pics pleease!!!!!!!!!

[rsx84]

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.

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.

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.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

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.
