Hey guys I finally had few minutes to put up a few pics of my 1983 DR30 RSx. I bought it in early spring cleaned up a few things and have been enjoying it ever since. Unfortunately I can't find any other local nostalgic Jdm owners. Btw I do plan on changing the wheels but am really holding back on anything major because the car is in impeccable condition. Hope you enjoy!

While I have a few dr30 owners attention I was driving my dr this morning and just heard the squealers for the front brakes. What front pads will work for the stick brakes? Thanks!

far as pads go, unless you're tracking her daily, just get a nice middle ground pad. i usually run endless or pmu.

I was wondering if there is a car that came to the USA that uses the same brake pads, I found that a 300z uses the same rear I believe. I dont want to ruin the rotors and then run into another problem. worse case scenario can you tell me where I can buy them, thanks!!

Well, it'll only cost you $15-20 to go pick up some 300ZX pads from your local parts store and see if they fit? :tu:

Hekc, if you go on http://www.rockauto.com you can order a set of 300ZX pads for $6 and some 280ZX pads for $5, see if one fits, then order some "good" pads for that application?

And if you get lucky, you might get a refrigerator magnet from them with your car on it. :P

Thanks guys, funny story the magnet that Rokauto sends is actually my car. I had that magnet on my toolbox from a previous parts order and about four months after purchasing my DR I actually was pointed out by a co-worker that is was my actual car. Small world.
On another note, I have s13 hubs with rotors and am in the process of buying a set of coilovers. what brake calipers do I have to run or can I just run the stock until I'm ready to upgrade. THX.

That's what I meant. :mrgreen:

The previous owner had a build thread on your car on this forum a few years back. Came dangerously close to buying it myself when he decided to sell... :P

Wow guys thanks for that link. I just spent a good bit of an hour reading the whole thread. I really love the car and struggle with keeping it stock. I'm thinking nice wheels and suspension and call it a day for awhile.
