    looks good, not very popular cars these - rare to see nice examples.

    Yeah... I'm completely out of money though and I can't afford a set of springs, and I need adjustable rear control arms... Hopefully for spring cuz it's gonna go in storage for winter.

    DSMs are pretty common where I'm from... might be different in Aus.

    3000GTs are uncommon here too, US is different.

    yeah, i meant the 3000gt, DSM never sold here (same car though right?). pretty much the availability of skylines killed it's chances.

    Im pretty sure that the current res doesnt do your cars justice. Try asking him for larger images. It would be appreciated.

    Its easy to see why though, cheaper, easier to work on, larger aftermarket.. I honestly enjoy seeing a VR4/3000GT on the roads, Its a pitty they didnt take off.

    Well, they're different platforms completely but they share some minor things. Like we can convert DSM intercoolers to used on ours, we can also use their injectors, turbos even if we upgrade the manifolds but not much else...

    And yeah, Skyline overshadowed it, however, there's a lot of after market for them, especially in North America. Not too much compared to Supras or anything like that though...

    Yup, it's a VR4, looking forward to the 1st snowfall :P. Then it gets stored .
