has anyone driven or considered buying a DJR320? Can this car be easily modified to make more KW, EG-EXHAUST, COLD AIR ETC. I did consider getting one before i bought the GTP, but what put me off is that it was based on the XR8 and not the GT, but maybe I should of at least had a look at one Now that I really think about it.

IMO the only thing better on a DJR than yours are the wheels..... As for the 320kw an exhaust and flash would get yours up and about. Ive driven one and they're nothing spectacular apart from bein a DJR and costing heaps new.....

Part of the DJR upgrade is exhaust and CAI (SS Inductions I think) so you wouldnt gain much changing those anyway.
Do up your GT-P, better starting base anyway.

I understand that this is an old thread, but I was just wondering if anybody knew what the colours of the DJR 320 bonnet garnish were. I know that they are basically black and silver, but I was curious if anybody had a better insight of the colours because I'm looking at getting an almost identical match

The DJR was way ahead of it time. In 2003 it had better seats, better brakes, a potentially better engine and lots of other improvements over anything that FPV had to offer.
As the flash had not been developed at that time DJR/Herrods did have a lot of problems with the external ECU fighting with the OEM unit and therefore it was not quicker than the standard GT so lost a lot of its potential market. There was one made with and alloy block, if I remember correctly, that DJ himself drove. That would have been an interesting vehicle. All in all the DJR 320 is just a couple of stitches in the rich tapestry of Ford Falcon. Like the Bill Bourke GT, Turbo EBs, Phase 5-9 Falcons, 4WD utes et al., the DJR will be something over which some will obscess while most will be unaware they even existed. |

I think they ae really nice, still highly priced compared to a GT. I even like the plastic thing on the bonnet; atleast they made an effort to change the looks.

I'd love a Djr 320 as Flappist said it will be a car some people can't get enough of and others won't even know they exist.

By memory you would have got minimal change from $100,000 and I know 'Unique Cars' mag ran a few stories on them.
Everyone if i recall correctly said they were great just simply over priced so obviously didn't sell in big numbers. |

I have never seen one or even seen one for sale.. They will probably be more collectable in 30 years time than the FPVs!

Hi all,
I do have a DJR320 and it is the best ford I have ever owned. At the time I was looking into buying it, it offered a lot more than the GT did, which was the main reason I bought it. I still think it is one of the best looking cars on the road today (my opinion) There was a total of 25 DJR320's made and there will never be anymore. Here's a couple of pic's for you Cheers Jeff
