DR30 Hot Plates on ebay, just ended @ $202.50 AND these were not MINT, they had minor blemishes & small cracks in them, so I guess the sky is the limit for these style of tail lights.

Makes my mint pairs worth over $400 easy.

Cheers,

jeeze,

such prices for taillights.

I remember seeing a shitload being advertised a few years back, for between $100 and $150 a pair, where did they all go?

Still have the 2 pairs I brought of ghostrider 4? years ago

You still got the bootlid?

See PM sent yesterday

DR30 hotplates are as rare as rocking horse whit. R31 lights are still available new, so there is nothing special about them. I have six pair in stock.

I have a three pair of DR30 hotplates, but wouldn't ever sell them, and that is the way most people with a set of these lights, and a DR30 feel about having tjhe lights.

DR30 hotplates are worth whatever anyone is prepared to pay for them. In context, V36 rear lights are over $400.00 list per side. If you can pick up good condition DR30 light for $200.00 per side, it's still a very cheap option.

Cazz,

A thousand per side wouldn't buy any of mine.

I think a pair of neither cracked nor faded S1 lights are going to hold their value more than you think D.

Obviously the S2's are more popular, but s1's in above mentioned condition are just as sought after as excellent condition S2's in Japan from what I've seen.

I think I had better take my near-perfect, non-cracked, non-faded hotplates off the rally car then!

Problem is, what's the point in having them if you aren't going to use them (or to keep as spares)...

Trade for my uncracked faded lights.. Much safer in my garage away from tree's and embankments lol :D

(was worth a try)

Hey, before I go off about non-faded - has anyone got a picture of some faded ones? I mean, mine don't look brand new (why would they), but the red is still red and the yellow is still yellow.

Interesting offer D-limo! I'll give that some serious cons... no. :D

Couple of interesting pics I came across today in my searches.

Also my lights at the right for matty.

Anyone know if the lenses come apart easily?.. Thinking a can of transparent red or nightshade could do wonders.

Ever thought of colour coding the outer areas and just having the light circles?

Good for you & you don't need to get them new from a dealer.

If your using Japan as the source, any number is available through Yahoo.

I have just ordered parts from KRS for my PNV and I hope I can get them before the nationals.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
