Just A Couple Of Pics

[discopotato03]

Actually I prefer my Vulks in 16x7 and 8 , more of a period look and very light for their size + rubber more affordable . Don't know if it was imported with them or fitted by Bem Ellis when he owned it but cheers to whom ever .

HPI ben ellis? there was a few issues with pics of his dr30...

[D-limo]

Theres a pic of that dr30 at the auction yards in Japan just before Ben bought it with 16 watanabes on it. Do you mind me asking around what you paid for it Disco?

Like less than 10g?

That car appeared in 2 or 3 issues I think.

[DR JOSH]

Ya can't get much more affordable rubber than 235 45 17", commodore sizes and cheaper than the last pair of 215 50 16" I bought in the same tire.

Theres nothing wrong with a bit of stretch

More than 9 less than 10 , yes been in a few magszine articles out here . I'm not sure what you call a "Watanabee" but mine have Rays Engineering stickers in them and are model specific ie right on the money offset wise . They had 205 55 fronts and 225 50 rear tyres which is better than wider fronts with wrong wheel offset .

I defy anyone to get more rubber on the road without lots of caster and just a smidge of negative camber . Turn in is far better than any strut Nissan I've ever driven . With the 205's it easily has more grip than the back which is the next area to mod provided the Bluebird power rack conversion dosen't get in the way .

If anyone wants a clean DR with a bit of history it's up for grabs , I want what I paid for it .

Cheers A .

Attached is a pic of some Watanabe's

Must have been Ben that changed them cause the next issue containing pics of your car, the Volks were fitted.

He also had it dynoed with 127kw atw with just the cat-back e xhaust fitted.

AFR's were 14.4:1 at idle and around 11.8:1 at full load

The Vulks are composite (two piece) and look to have forged centres . Four piston calipers would fall in , theres that much room around the std calipers . Yeah sorry Josh , mine is same colour but all over with no lairy stencils . Do all these RSX's have black and red interior ?

Cheers A .

[Adam_RSX]

Mine has the red and black interior

[DR JOSH]

Mine origanally had had black with red stripes across the seats inserts, where as my good mates DR has a black interior with the full inserts red interior.

Before it hit a tree and returned bright green, you will also see 16 x 8 watanabe's

[Adam_RSX]

Whose is that? Looks like it was registered in mid-late '03

oh, and my interior is black with full red inserts, I forgot about the stripey seats

[Ghostrider]

Just though I'd chuck up some photos of my beast before paint work, then I can put some up after.

The motor is currently in being machined.  B)

Josh,

Can you make a template of the mount plates for your strut brace and post it to P O Box N89 Campbelltown North NSW 2560.

Sorry to get ya hopes up thats an s13 strut brace I borrowed off a mate to see how far off they are, about 25mm wider

Ghost rider, I have a adjustable frount strut brace (cusco I think) in my DR but is only 2 bolt per strut top. Don't know if this is what you are looking for.

Cheers

[Boof]

Thats Neame's DR Adam, before he had an altercation in it...

My interior is black with red inserts, i think the RSX had the stripey interior whilst the RS just had the plain black/red interior..Correct me if im wrong!!

[DR JOSH]

Mines an RS and stripey.

[Adam_RSX]

Mine is an RSX with the full inserts...

[stagefumer11]

HR.. Full red and black,

Affordable maybe, but what do you do with the extra 10 odd Kph the speedo is under reading with these 235/45 x 17 on board.

And do you know, the optimum tyre size for any R30 is 245/45 x 16 as they have the correct dynamic radius (same as 205/60 x 15) and they have the widest tread etc, etc, etc.

Why do anything else if it's just for show?
