I love dr30's

[.75 degrees sideways]

Happy New year everyone.

I went for a cruise in Matt's (rsx84) dr30 with rb20det at 4:30am New Years Day

I must say, even though I've been driving a Charade while mine has been in the workshop over the last few months. Wow, simply wow. I was shaking after the "quick" drive. :wassup:

Now mine should have more boot when mine gets back. So now i'm scared haha

Now to my conclusion

I love Dr30's

[0escot]

I love the r30 range, especially the coupe. It doesnt matter whether its a DR or not if you're gonna drop a rb engine in anyway

But Matt's isn't a DR, it's an HR.

Just looks like a DR with the iron mask front.

Cheers. :ghost:

ROFL I thought this was going to be a thread giving me shit. Yeah they are good hey. I'd be interested to see what theyre like with an RB instead of a FJ

What Charade have you been driving?

[rsx84]

cheers mate: just went for a spin around the block....

Haha Adam, i'm not like that eh. Matts R30 is what made me want to go turbs. I personally think the DR30 looks more aggressive than the hr31. I love them

and right now i'm driving my missus's 92' 1ltr 3cyl auto Charade. :Oops:

But Matt's isn't a DR, it's an HR.

?? Matt, I thought yours was the dr30 rsx?

Andrew,

I was only being a little pedantic.

At the end of the day, it's only a body and they're always going to be an R30.

I have been criticised by some, for doing an RB conversion to my PNV, but everything that has a signature or number has been kept, so that re transformation is an easy task.

Cheers,

D

[rsx84]

andrew, i've told you thats its the hr30 before but you keep calling it a dr, what i'm i surpost to do????

Personally not my ideal thing to do with a rare car, but like you've said you have all the standard stuff to return it back to standard so go hard! I've got 90% of my standard stuff in the shed if need be as well!!

I love my DR as well, as much of a pain in the ass it is at times and the headache it causes me (and my wallet) its so nice to be driving something wtih a skyline badge but is different to every other skyline...I still have people asking me what a DR30 skyline is once they see it they love it!!

[Adam_RSX]

I'm getting sick of all the bloody "Nice R31 maaaaaaate" dickheads, I've even had people ask what type of Pulsar it is and a group of kids that thought it was a Scorpion

[stagefumer11]

i love my hr30. i hte it when more money has to go into it, but when ever i drive it, i love it.

good story, locoal friend who works at a car stereo place dissed my car 24/7 did some audio work on it, droped it off to me at work. and had a grin ear to ear. his words were "i may of dissed it because of its looks and age. but now i have driven it, i love it."

Every time i go their now, he runs out to just look at it lol

Yerp i've had the scorpion comments as well, gives me the shits, but i just smile and let the wastegate open LOL!!

Going to get quotes to fix the whore tomorrow as well, should be interesting kill the bank balance a bit more

[Adam_RSX]

Whats broken now?

[rsx84]

it was even worse 2 and a bit years ago when you call places like just jap looking for parts and they say "r30 what".. but they are getting more and more known now

[sr201600]

thank god, i thought mine was the only DR that eat money. Every time i service it it break something else.

[DR JOSH]

I love the fact that no-one recognises what it is apart from people that actually know what they are on about, although having R31 written on my dyno sheets does give me the shits.

andrew, i've told you thats its the hr30 before but you keep calling it a dr, what i'm i surpost to do????

Dude, you know me! I have the memory of a fish.

huh, what were we talking about

oh yeah

does your 30 get refered to as a 31? or are you refering to everyone saying 31's are the beez neez?

Matt's (hr30) is what made me want to go turbs. I've always loved them since Matt's. I love my 31 too, love it more when it's back on the road and not killing my bank account.

@ everyone, anyone who appreciates and loves their car has a hole in their bank account. At least I know that i'm not the only one blowing their cash on their car, but your right. When you drive it, it's like heaven.

[Adam_RSX]

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31. If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

[BensDR30]

Mine is constantly identified as 'one of those 6 cylinder Nissan import coupes' Then I tell them it's a 4; 'they never made them as fours' is the response.

*sigh*

That's because you're missing the all-important schtickers on the flanks!

Actually, that doesn't seem to make a rats arse of difference.....

Do you see a '24v Ceramic Turbo' badge on my car? No? Then it's not a bloody R31
