I was looking at a roached out sedan a few days ago, no engine, front end suspension, bootlid or bonnet. Rust in rear 1/4s and over the windscreen. Interior in equally poor nick. It went for about $750. That's what the seller told me anyway. You're a long way from anywhere, that's the kicker, also the bonus given the lack of moisture out there. I'd be keen on knowing a price and picking it up, coming from Orange NSW if you can get a reasonable price sorted. I'm sure you'd be inundated with messages soon.

its not an R31 to begin with... its the Tomica DR30 Racing Silhouette Skyline - if you cant find any info on it, you're not doing really good... http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/11/27...tte-racers.aspx

Gee, that engine bay looks familiar... Thanks for the comments guys Currently worse for wear after some Victorian dickhead in a rental chucked a U turn infront of me... 3 weeks later and the assesor from the Rental company is only just looking at the car today, and not in person I might add. I have offers on the car as it sits, and if I get a settlement payout, the car is going, and I'm keeping the cash. As said by many others, its a turbo setup, sticking a pod on the end of that section of piping will do more harm than good, again check out R31 SC for all the details about doing that. I know plenty of people who run with the lid off the airbox, works well on the turbo too - Great flutter... or have a pod in place of the stock airbox. Personally, the stock airbox is quite ok.

Pics? I'm in need of a S3 Ti Bonnet.

Just picked up a set of standard Ti rims, they'll cop a polish and be ready if anyone wants the car for cheaper without the SSR's

any of this stuff still available? pics and offsets of the ROH's if still about... cheers.

a couple of 33's in Bathurst today, Gunmetal with a big FMIC and black one, perhaps GTR...? was in the back-streets towards the mountain, 1 crossing Bentik and one turning onto William St jeez, been a while since I posted in here

yes well, pity you cant see the value in the auto. not that much effort to convert a 31 to manual; if you're interested please post. otherwise STFU.

6 months rego added as of the 18th, now Rego'd in NSW until June 18th $8200 ono - Less without SSR's.

7200 without rims & with rego due in decemember 8000 with rego due on december

bump it up.... few recent shots from a Show and Shine in Dubbo:

going to try to be there, if I fax an entry form, can I pay on the day? will be in sydney that weekend on family duties, just depnds on which day the duty calls...

I was done a few months back (may) for 142 in a 100 zone, a mate and I were headed back down the Pacific highway north of Kempsey and witnessed a car go into the trees on the median strip, I turned around where I could (mate is a senior officer in RFS) and hoofed it back up the road while calling the RTA accident report line... didnt know the seriousness of it at the time so didnt go with 000. over a crest, cop on the side of the road, 'FUUUUUUUUUUUU...' he pulled me up, first thing he said is "ive got you on LIDAR video mate, you were doing 146kph" which I thought was odd, coz I was only in my R31... 145kph is a fair speed in the old girl (although I found out at Oran this weekend that 165 is acheiveable down the straight) He didnt ask why I was speeding, when I told him there was an accident up ahead and we had turned around to assist he said "there is no accident, i was up that way 10 mins ago" he handed me the fine and then came back to say there was an accident... it was just called in.. long story short, Its gone to local court up in Macksville 2 times now, first was adjourned because I applied to have the hearing moved so I could attend it locally, its a 1500km one way trip for me to go up there...but that was denied. So it was heard again, I contacted a local solicitor and he helped me draft a stat dec, and my passenger also provided one... I recently got a letter stating that it was going to be investigated by the police prosecutor in order to " verify the veracity of 'the incident'... " (veracity = truthfullness) so its being heard again in early november for sentencing. I face, from what I've gathered, 3 months and a $680 fine... which is weird compared to the story above... I'd say 'my' cop doesnt have as much proof as he would like... I just hope I keep my licence and have the charges thrown out, I've only ever had 1 other speeding fine (I'm 26) and one minor traffic infringment. (no points, $75 fine) I'll put it this way, its the last time i'll be helping out at an accident scene, which is horrible to think, but why risk being punished for trying to help someone in need. Which is an offence in itself Strange that they got you for 142 as well... Good luck with it, but I cant see it being overthrown...

Drop to $8500 ono and I'll pink slip it for you. Deposit on the new car... would like to see it go.

Majority of the modifications have been done sensibly and with no expense spared by Carolyn Kruger (Avid R31 Enthusiast). Car is capable of a tidy 13.6 second quarter, and being auto, works extremely well with the turbo conversion. Can be a little nasty to drive in the wet, due to the auto and the LSD. Clarion HU with Hard Disk Drive recording + 4 kenwood speakers . I'm selling because Its time to be sensible, the mrs is scared of driving the R31 after putting the Silhoutte GTS sideways into a pole, and I dont expect her to drive the GTS around all the time, I dont want her to either. I am happy to sell interstate, I will not organise it for you.
