Hi all Glenn, Im new to this forum, have been a lurker for a few months now and though it was about time I joined and Introduced myself and my ride.

I got the car just over a year ago, after wanting one for 6+ years. I got it with 85,000kms on the clock (which seem to be geniune), Interior in excellent condition, no rust in the body work. has a set of 3 piece Watanabe wheels, VG30 Turbo, Coil-over suspension, up-graded sidemount, 3" turbo back exhuast and Slotted HR31 Front brakes.

Since these pics I have purchesed some badges through Nissan and put them on the car to finish the look off.

and Im about to paint the rocker cover + manifold gold to match the wheels.

At the end of the year Im planning to also buy a KGC10 to add to the collection :D

Awesome! I love that body style. Nissan was pretty bold then, I can only imagine the meeting where they were trying to come up with badging and one designer just said, "Lets put it all in block lettering down the side of the car!" haha :lol: The result was cool though and looks great with the wheels. :tu:

Nice DR30! I love those cars, kind of surprised it has the VG30 in it though. Definitely a clean car. :tu:

I think it's still got the FJ20 engine, but fitted with a bigger turbo from a VG30?

I LOVE the Iron mask! It's the meanest wedge around. I wonder which VG turbo it has? The T3 from the Leopard is very powerful.

Aw man that is going to look so nice with the gold Watan's! I can't believe how far forward that little 4 cylinder is sitting. They totally could have put straight 6 shooter in there.
