I am led to believe the Grey one in HPI #43 is FOR SALE. Check it out on pages 91 & 92

Contact Ben ELLIS from HPI Magazine on (02) 9741 3858

I have seen the car in the flesh and it's a minty condition car, VERY stock, but excellent condition and asking $8-10000.00 with 85K on the clock.

You would be hard pressed to find a better example and it's registered in NSW.

Check it out!

stu_r30 - That'd be benny's DR30 in the For Sale section. You're correct, it is a very nice car, gotta love that colour too!

Ghostrider - I believe that grey DR30 in HPI #43 has now been sold for $9,900, check the Autostyle website:

If I'm not mistaken, it's the third last Nissan in the list.

just wondering what either a turbo set up or the complete engine would be worth....im putting an l24e into my 1.2L hilux(1974)

gunna haul a55, but would haul more a55 with a turbo.

Option 1 Garage has an L20ET turbo & manifold on their web site.

But needed further is wiring, ECU, etc to make it all work.

More boost can be obtained using an FJ20DET turbo assembly.

Crimmo is what his face (can't remember his name) making all that stuff up for u?? Sounds like its goin to be a bloody tough car when ur finished with it!!

T shirts im up for one as well!! As far as arty designy stuff goes though im a shocker so no design's from this side of the fence!!

How would i go about doing this to my headlights?

thought you had a pic of a BMW for a second, if you want to do that try getting it air brushed on?? several coats as the light will shine through! that way paint stripper will fix it later..

theres a nice dr in the for sale section - 8g's i think, looks nice

and as for the shirt, matt, you've outdone yourself with that design...

seriously, would look pretty good and as others have sed, the r and 30 should be together  :D

car'nt take credit where credits not due, that design is ghostriders, but if you want i'll get a mate to draw up some of the ideas. this is some of his work..that shot is from the need for speed PC game and yes it is a r31 and r30 racing..mate drew the r31..his on line name is 75 degrees sideways..trying to get him to buy the purple dr benneys got forsale??

ive seen that thing done to lights before in some pictures when hunting around the net. they do it on that car with plastic over the lights im pretty sure, as the pic i saw was closer up than that one. not too sure how they do it exactly but its definately a proper plastic surround that you can get, probably coz some pple dont like the plain square lights :D

id say the best way to do it would be with stick on stuff similar to contact, you know like people use to stick on their headlights to do like 'eyelids' n stuff. i dunno where u get that from, car sticker places or watever i guess. just cut it to size and stick it on. then just peel it off and use some stuff to get rid of the sticky residue when ur done.

I would say its a different approach altogether.

remove the glass (by the way how do you do that, im trying to do that now), remove lenses and replace with a round sealed beam and then have some type of cover made to go over it. well thats how i picture it, and yes i though of bmw headlights when i thought that idea up!

somehow i wouldn't go to that degree

when i first got my car it had no headlights and i was thinking of getting ones from a s13 silvia that have that kind of look, i think they have 3 lights not 2 though?

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
