DR30 Iron Mask fresh import

[robbiej]

Intro to the forum with a new car to me

Purchased a DR30 in May after a long wait the car arrived in September, a container was better than RORO. We have been commissioning it. It looks like it had been off the road for Covid so lots of rubber parts needed replacing. I purchased parts in Japan that went in the container like suspension, seats etc

OMG I'm somewhat jealous...

So I see from your flair that's some sort of Nissan. But...Iron mask? Tekkamen...? Never seen one like that. Looks like a Fox body Mustang if you squint a bit.

Basically it's a pretty rare early 80's Nissan Skyline 😎

In Japan, they made a Super Silhouette racing version, it is sort of the forerunner of the R32 GTR, I'm getting used to the boxy style


Stock car has 2Lt Twin Cam Turbo, 5-speed box limited slip diff, independent rear suspension, electric seats and windows etc etc

This is fantastic but please do share some information about the R32 and the 280Z as well.

Awesome car. They were also raced to reasonable success down under in Group A.

Alright Robbie? It looks like you have an intercooled "Turbo-C" like mine. Is that a brand new brake disc? Your 280Z (S130?) looks like it's a gorgeous colour! Is that a factory colour? Where are you? I need to see your DR30
