yea i agree with adam! the dr30 is becoming a cult car in japan and is inevitably going up in price here in australia as well. they have been advertised in sydney for up to $12000. a very worthwhile car to own and you will turn a lot of heads as not many people know what they are! im not a huge fan of the NICS RB20DET and decided to go a different direction and purchase a dr30 with an FJ20DET in it. the SR20DET replaced these engines, but the FJ is such an internally strong motor. with few basic mods, 200rwkw can easily be achieved. parts are much of a problem for the R30 coupes because like any Nissan, parts are interchangeable :D the r31 would probably be easier to get parts for but there isnt much difference

No 'D' in FJ20ET. It predates the use of the D.

They sound a lot better than SR's aswell :D

The other good thing about the DR is that all the front panels inc guards are interchangable with Aussie MR30's, which are cheap enough to buy a whole car now just to get the spare panels

to give you an idea of price for the 2door r31's here the last gts-t i saw for sale at yard prices was $13990 there is currently a gts-r for sale here on the coast for $19000, thats right $19000 yard price!

mention a r30 or r31 and they all come out to play!!

GTS-X or GTS... no GTS-t

You'd be mad to pay either of those prices... GTS 2 doors and GTS-X's seem to sell for around 8 now... and DR30's are either really cheap or really expensive, but I can only see them rising.. they shouldnt fall any more

me bad!! yeah these prices are yard prices so there always over the top?

the r31 imports are a great car! i myself have a gts 4 door which now has an rb25det in it. when you are lookin at buying one, make sure to check every aspect of the car over, if it has high milage check the turbo, and check that the head isnt gone. it isnt fun when the head goes =[ anyways good luck in finding the car! there are plenty out there you just gota keep a look out :D

hey all, i just stuffed the L24E motor in my Aussie MR30. Im looking either for a complete R30 for sale (any model), converting mine to RB20DET. Or perhaps selling mine.

If anyone is interested it is Ti model, electric windows, cushy seats etc. No rust. straight body and two tone paint, dark metalic blue top and silver bottom. obviusly with a dead motor.

I'd go a GTS-X and mod it rather than a GTS-R. They were a homologation special, so its just all the biggest bits they thought they might want to use for racing, which doesnt mean it will work well as a road car

I'd agree.. while they have some niceties.. and of course the classic and rare status.. for the ~$10k price difference you could easily work up a GTS-X with RB25DET (or even 26dett) conversion and lots of other things.

None of the suspension, drivetrain or anything else in the GTS-R is that special compared to what is out there these days - maybe back in its day it had a few features ahead of its time, but you're really just paying for the status and name.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
