Giveway, mate there are PLENTY of shite 30/31's around, no wonder you havent seen any real good ones!

imagine this, in the early 80's nissan was making HUGE technological investigations ino atessa, turbos, hicas, and alot of what we see today.

The DR30 was the first car to have the atessa system built, it was on prototypes only

The FJ20det was an insane engine for its time, 205hp or similar from a factory 2litre was unheard of back then

in Australia, as Cazz will show us, the DR30 was a RIPPER at the track

There are similar external size features with the R31, but inside and what not the 30's and 31's are pretty much completely different cars. the Aussie R31 really isnt a true skyline, as it was made HERE and not Factory 5 in japan.

Tag along with us th Skyline Nationals where this year ALOT of R30's will be flying their flags... Im really understanding when you say you not keen on them, perfectly understandable. Only a small handfull are actually any good.

i might be needing a detail too, so feel free to have a blap around the street when you do... ( i have driven it in anger for the last 3 years, done 40,000 km and still cant break it, and believe me Ive tried!)

Well that explains why they've always had a "bogan" feel to me, I've probably only seen the aussie made ones. Your points have been duly noted.

That one I don't mind. I guess I just need to take a real one for a drive. I actually hated R33/34 skylines because of all the wogged up ricers I'd seen. Then I saw my friends with virtually no visual modifications but a lot of money and time spent under the bonet and I saw what the car could be. Ended up buying it 2 weeks later.

Incase people weren't aware the pic of all of SAU was sent into a Canberra magazine called "Torque Canberra" (if I remember correctly) and it was published. Its a free magazine but the only place that I know you can get it from is Trojan in Mitchell, I may be wrong but that is the only place i have seen it.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
