nice :happy:

umm why didn't you just hot link the images from car sales rather than download them to your pc then upload them to SAU servers seems a waste imo

chill pill steve....chill pill ;)

looks good dude. cant wait to see the pics of the mods rolling in :)

not bad at all. See, this double makes me wonder how people want up to $20 for the DR30s.

Maybe because DR30's have character...Maybe because the DR30 at one stage was the quickest car to come out of Japan...Maybe because the ATTESA system was being developed for the DR30...maybe just maybe that R31's are shit! And yes i've driven one and wouldn't drive another one off of a cliff! Would rather drive my DR30 any day of the week :nyaanyaa:

Clean looking car to mate, using it as a daily??????

picked up the beast on monday, havnt really had the chance to take it for a nice drive yet with the clutch being f**kd a all (should be done 2day)... plus a few tiny electrical issues to have a look at... but i rekon i'll be out on friday nite for a few laps after work :P ... mite see some of u guys out...

clutch got done 2day drives ok... every now an then it seems to drop a cylinder an runs really ruff, the oils not milky so i dont think theres a crackd head probably just the plugs or coil packs, dont think its been serviced in a while... its bookd in to turbo tune 2morro mornin 2 get the whole thing checkd out and a power run... fingers crossed theres nothing too wrong with it...

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
