awesome, cheers

No doubt you've already figured out the ASCD switch has to be flicked all the way to the left to engage (it then springs back to the centre position). It's also only active between 50-110km/h.

now here's the strange thing; the cruise on my DR30 stopped going when the oil pressure sender failed - go figure! Possibly a failsafe of some sort to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

Thanks. Yeah there are a total of 3 DR30's that I am aware of up here. I have had this one for a couple of years now. I daily drove it for a year then got into a little wreck. Now a year + later I have pieced everything together to have it fixed up.

any new updates?

Should be out of the paint shop this week. They shot both the colors last Friday. Now its just getting put back together. I'll get a picture of it when I pick it up. Then its off for its new motor and the rest of the long laundry list I have for it.

not keeping the fj20? lmk if the old fj is for sale. would love to rock a fj20 on my s12. btw my wife started falling in love with the dr30s which surprised me, she saw a stock one at the nissanfest at evergreen it was white owned by ishii motors from bellvue.

Davboy · **Posted:** Thu May 02, 2013 8:50 am

I am keeping the FJ20. Its getting rebuilt and and I am putting it in my 510. That's funny about your wife because my wife thinks the DR30 is super ugly and doesn't miss a chance to tell me. And that white one at Nissanfest is super nice. Its a 30th anniversary one and its super clean. Last I checked Ishii motors actually had another white one. If I remember both are for sale.

84s1200sx · **Posted:** Thu May 02, 2013 3:47 pm

yea, i think they were asking 8-10k? i would have loved to get that for my wife but she just got a te72 corolla wagon a few months ago, sold her s13 for something bigger for our new born, was actually looking for a 510 wagon during her pregnancy but couldn't find anything that wasn't all rusted out or super expensive. so she settled for the corolla one instead, just did the "quad" light conversion and its look like a 510 lol.

You making it to "The Old School Reunion"?

Davboy · **Posted:** Mon May 06, 2013 10:30 am

I wish, I don't think it will be done in time. I have an all original 1976 Porsche 912e that I might take out of storage and take. I just have to figure out if I'll be in town early next month.

Davboy · **Posted:** Mon Jun 17, 2013 11:36 am

Ok went and grabbed a teaser pick of the DR30 with fresh paint. This is the second time its been painted. There was a mishap during the first paint session.

Time is ticking for JCCS and I am getting a little nervous. There is still lots of work to do....

familycar · **Posted:** Mon Jun 17, 2013 5:02 pm
