cool..nice man

NZO · 08-01-2005, 02:43 PM

So the car isnt legalized, it's registered. Why is the difference between these two terms so confusing to some people?

HyperTek · 08-01-2005, 02:45 PM

my friend linked me to the same thread you created in honda tech... bah!!

They did indeed , It was their first twin cam 4 cylinder. Before the FJ the only other Twin Cam Nissan had built, was the S20 2 liter 6 cylinder, installed in the Fairlady Z 432 and Skyline GTR of 1970 -76 vintages.
It was roughly the same time Toyota was playing with their first Twin Cam 4 's as well the 2TG and 3TG. Yes,Toyota also built Twin Cam 6 2 liter as well, that was in the S2000, in the late sixties, of course, this was with the help of Yamaha technology.

We have LOADS of the R30&31's here in south africa, if you ever need to get ahold of any odd trim parts or anything else hard to find let me know and ill see what i can find, in a local car club here we have about 10-15 31's but they all 3L straight 6 NA's, FI is to expencive for the locals to repair.

this thread is so much more peaceful than the club4ag one. Anyone know the story behind all the BS being flung?

That is a sick car, I love the vintage appeal to it...All Freeway Speedway style. My favs are the R32 GTS-T, but I think the DR30 is quite hot too. Nice find, and I would also be interested in the Registered/legalized clarification.

Well, legalized means it went through official channels. Registered means it bypassed those channels. This car is 100% legal... Lots of money was spent in the 1980's to make it DOT/EPA legal by the original owner. The Bureau of Automotive Repair tag on the car and the 1983 NISS SKYL RS CP on the pink attest to that

Awesome find. I would drop my s13 in a sec for a old school car, but living in a rusty state doesnt help the old cars out at all.
