Thats Tom in the last issue from the JMS drift day. But I believe that would be mine in the new issue from the Club PSI drift day. But from the front end bit I dare say it's mine your talking about, It looks even worse these days. I still haven't seen the issue but been told theres a photo in there.

Sweet Josh, looks good

I'll have to get some new pics of mine up sometime, changed a few things so it looks different now.

Crimmo, any chance of getting a look at how you did the coilovers and brakes sometime? (I was the guy with the R31 the night you locked the keys in the R33 at BP Gorge Rd, Andrews friend)

@@@@@ POLO SHIRTS @@@@@

Shirts are ALL GO!

Anybody got any input, towards what they should say or look like.

My ideas,

SAU Logo on the front and on the back 2 cars angled towards each other with R between the cars and 30 below between the fronts and maybe SKYLINES across the bottom, or Skyline Owners.

Will knock up a couple of pics and post them.

Something else though, if we use the word "Nissan" or "Skyline" we/I have to get permission from Nissan.

Cheers

is MR30 hatch Front Left Suspension the same as DR30????

All R30 suspensions are interchangeable, DR, HR, MR.

### BUT ###

The brakes & mounts are different.

The HR & MR have the stock 250 x 18 front disc rotors and DR has 274 x 22 and the HR & MR mounts are only 3.5 inches between the centres and DR is 4.0 inches.

Answer to your question is yes, but you have to change both along with the smaller brakes.

What specs are you looking for?

I can give you body dimensions, road clearance, brakes etc, but what are you looking for?

The DR was just a comp version of MR/HR.

what do they do? electronic valves?

put it this way the control switch has a hard or soft setting! was more popular in the r31 gts-x and gts-r. some sort of solinoid sits at the top of the strut...with mine one of the solinoids was rusted badly...

ghostrider: do you have the control switch is i have one that can go to the same home! free as well (i'm not using it).

what do you think of this on the back " i got that car so i could get this t-shirt" :jk:

its all good to use the SAU logo though isnt it? if so what if that was on the front with a outline of an r30 underneath (small) Then on the back your looking at a 2door and 4door facing each other 3/4 veiw, put at the top of the back of the shirt, then under that something like "R30 Division/Skylinesaustralia.com" if we went that way then having nissan/skyline permission wont be needed if we have permission from skylinesaustralia.com?

Hey all, interesting thing happened to me the other day. I was just driving along kind off sensibaly (Kind off), when all of a sudden, my car was making a horrible grinding noise from under the bonnet. Very soon after (I pulled over as soon as i could) it had overheated.

The problem turned out to be the water pump, the drive shaft had sheared in three places.

Just thaught that it was kind of odd, breaking in thee places.

Anyhow, if anyone has, or knows of a DR30 for sale, i am interseted.

Also, what is the going price for one in good nick, with some mods?

I have possibly found one for $13000, it had a bunch off trust gear, (BIG turbo, dont remember what model) front mount intercooler, three inch exhaust 50mm wastegate etc.) Also coilovers, and it is an ironmask. and four door. Build is '85'.

Unsure of km's, waiting on more info.

Is $13000 exxesive?

Any help apprecciated, Mick.

Ohh yeah, if anyone has a non injected skyline (L series motor) I have an injected heead, complete with ECU) if your interested let me know. (Also a auto trans (out of Aussie R30))

Cheers again, Mick.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
