As much as I love the look of my R33 and driving it daily, it's time to have a dedicated track car now. The R33 will go to the track for practice and competitions. I picked up this 1983 R30. Fun times to come for sure with a new fresh project. I will not be going over the top with this car. Just mechanical stuff first to follow with sleek body kit, fresh paint job and wheels.


The car as it sits now in southern Japan.

I will be bringing this to the states as well.

Old HKS turbo kit with the cast manifold, 50 trim To4E, a set of subs running off a rebic, blow through flow meter, Greddy type R blow off and relief valve, very nostalgic indeed.


Enjoy

Be prepared for a lot of rust. Check the base of your strut towers where they meet the frame, the left and right wells of the trunk, and pull the fenders to check your kick panels, likely what's left of them. The whole length of the rocker panels under the door are suspect areas as well. Don't let it turn into this. :facepalm:

Dude. That thing is cool!

I was running with an R31 GTS last weekend on the C1. I love the look of those cars more and more every time I see them.
