No, no DR30 forum, much to my disgust, doesn't seem to be enough of us around.

Didnt that thing get defected? and from what i heard there was no way that thing was ever getting back on the road.

my brother tried buying me the plates, but the guy that brought it from Tom wouldnt sell them I wish I had known I was going to buy a DR30, otherwise I would of gotten my sisters boyfriend to try and buy the plates before Tom sold it (he lives next door to Tom)

How much is that old drift pig going for anyway?

[DR JOSH]

FJ20.com, would be your best bet, you see DR's pop up on there for sale everynow and again. Most DR's I see come up for sale generally get sold to mates and never really advertised. As for finding these DR's it's just a matter of who you know, I remeber back in the day when my car was still on the road, having 5 DR's parked in my driveway. I knew just about everyone with in adelaide with them, well people that mattered anyway (Boof would remember these times, haha). I know a bloke that has 6 FJ's sitting in his back shed so anytime I need parts I know exactly where to go, I don't let his name slip out too much though, cause I need all the contacts I can get.

Tom wouldn't sell the plates, trust me I tried on many occasions.

It must be fun living next to the monkhouses, I remember being there at 2am when Jack decided to start up the rally car running anti-lag just to show us how loud it was, haha.

[OUTATIME]

cool, yea that sounds alright. so this guy lives where? lol

tom still goes 2 regency tafe i think if i ever see him ill ask about the dr but yea might just look at me weird.

mate said the car had fair bit of rust in it and chassis rails were all dented etc. drift car so gotta expect that. he wanted something mint cond. cos wanted 2 enter show or something as well. plates went with the car also.

should get a cruise crankin soon. me and another mate both have l24et r30s (well mine has dr chassis number?lol) so b gd 2 get some 80's nissans goin thru the hills or somethin...

[benny_blanco]

My old work mate Phil has a L24et MR30 he built, that should be on the road soon aswell.... sounds like a plan

Josh is yours on or off the road?

and how is your car coming along boof? need to take some 'mirror' shots of our DR's together

Here is a shot Matty 31 took on the weekend, hope he doesnt mind

[OUTATIME]

cool. yea mines couple of weeks away from bein able 2 drive properly. just need front coils and 2 make an exhaust (have everything ready just gotta find time) paint is still gay tho.

yea met phil once while ago at a small r31 meet. bak then had rb30et 31. can just remember his mirror spec plenum lol. mate was talkin 2 him cos was about 2 bolt a sc14 onto his. did but went turbo in the end, only made 4psi and cbs gettin custom pulley made up.

bit of the old o/t now lol

[DR JOSH]

We have been trying to get a 30 cruise up and happening for years but there has never been a point in time were we have all had our cars on the road or licenses at the same time, for some of us having either or is a problem

Josh is yours on or off the road?

Off and has been for nearly 3.5 years, it's sad to think about it. The most recent photo I have which was taken almost a year ago now and is still pretty much at the same stage just has a little more dust on it. It's close but it's still pretty far off because I'm so lazy, however everything on it is pretty much brand new, with a few thing you don't see very often done to DR's, the paint could also do with a bit of a rework I kinda stuffed it up a bit.

Edited February 18, 2008 by DR JOSH

[benny_blanco]

What are the extra things it has on it most other DR30's dont? or is it top secret

Im bout to order all the original badges through nissan, just over $400 worth

Wouldn't happen to know anyone in SA with a Mint Rear RS-X bumper? mine had a small graze/dent in it when i brought it, it shits me off hardcore! cos the rest of the car is dam clean!.... Im guessing I dont want to know the price of a new one through nissan so havnt asked yet :S

Your DR looks like a purple pimpin beast! Cant wait to see that on the road.

Yes, yes i do...There was a time oh 3 or so years ago where between josh and myself we knew just about every DR in adelaide...Few more floating around now though!

Josh would i know him????

I remember monkhouse doing that, was there that night...Quite the night that was!!

When you lending me your wheels Josh???

Yer i know Phil as well, met him once at my bro's house..

Mines coming along okies, trying to figure out insurance atm, broker rung me back tonight so i'll ring him in the morning see how that all goes...

Funnily enough i was thinking exactly the same thing when i seen your car there! Crimmo and i had both of those cars out on sunday afternoon when he had the old setup in it, quite the animal it was!!

Glenn : Whats written in front of your writing on the side of the car???

Edited February 19, 2008 by Boof

[benny_blanco]

where are these DR30's??? Since I got mine I have seen 2, one just the other weekend on the freeway

When Crimmo had it, it was quite a beast, 260RWKW is what i got told!

Infront of the writing, it has a INTERCOOLER cut out of a gold rectangle, I saw it on a few DR30's in Japanese photos thought it looked pimpin'

Shane you would happen to know if Crimmo used the Factory colours when he re-sprayed the car.. better yet if he has any spare paint left??, just a few minor paint chips I want to touch up.

If you dont know, I can get my brother to call Crimmo and find out.

When its on the road let me know so we can do some snaps, How is Dans DR30 going along BTW?

Rack and pinion steering for one thing

As for a rear bar I wouldn't have a clue, Neame had one which someone had painted black which had started flaking but I think it went in the bin with the bent shell. Stuff that for badges, my car has been completely de-badged all of mine were a bit shitty anyway.

I can't wait either, if only I wasn't so lazy. I was way more enthusiastic when I started it. I just need to get moved into my house properly and bring down to my garage so I can actually work on it, it's currently stored up in my mates shed which is, way far away when you don't have a license. And with my new pay rise I should have a little money to finish it off

Yes, yes i do...There was a time oh 3 or so years ago where between josh and myself we knew just about every DR in adelaide...Few more floating around now though!

Quite possibly he's an old schooler, way old school with an FJ 1600.

How does never sound?

[benny_blanco]

Thats what my brother said aswell when he was over tonight, "why the f**k you want the other badges... keep it badgeless [still has RS Badges]" .... I dont mind them however

Grille S badge $59.05

Fender RS badge $66.90

Boot badge SYLINE $51.20

Boot DOHCTURBO RS $103.51

Boot X in gold $48.84

Seems abit f**ked... Reckon it could be anycheaper If I can get my friends old house mate to get some from a Japanese Nissan Dealer..... its like those proces are for shipping each badge invidually

[IronmaskDR]

Phuk thats expensive man, cost me about $130-$140 for bonnet "S" badge and both front 1/4 R/S badges brand new ex-Japan. Seems there's way more of a DR scene in south oz compared to WA too, I reckon if I organised a DR cruise in Perth u could counT the turn out on 1 hand
