Hey fellas,
just rejoined, been a few years!
Here is my HR30 that ive owned for just over 2 years.
fresh cut an polish
The "beast" L20et
Since I've owned this I've only fixed minor rust and repainted the front bumper.
have got plans for it, rather exspensive :-S
thankfully though, just started my job/career and can start saving!

Mean skyline, haven't seen this one around wellington yet tho, they do seem quite uncommon these days!
On a side note, needs more low!!

Keep her tucked away for good weekends and tell me about it! haha
When i bought it the previous owner had cut the coils in the rear and still doesn't sit very low, but you can feel
the road a bit more

originally the plan was an L28et, love the L series, sound ruthless at low rpms.
now its, Source a complete FJ setup, missed out on one about a month ago, was absolutely gutted.
set of ray te37v's, thinking 15x9 with 0 offset.
as for suspension im not sure yet, I've seen people have trouble with the 30's suspension.
ie, using s13 gear then all the conversion parts to follow.
main thing im trying to follow is keep it era correct.

Nice looking coupe, I've just done a s13 hub and strut conversion in mine, used a 910 bluebird crossmember and rack to get rid of the useless factory steering box
All goes in fairly easily
