I was aiming for a silhoutte, as they are the sport or race versions of the R31. GX is lightest, I didn't know that, thanks again. P.S. Manual would probably be the only transmission I drive

Thanks MidnightCruiser for the plentyful information. I can find R31s for less then 3grand but all I'm saying is, it's very hard to find a series 3 version with the cool S3 headlights.

I've been searching around on the net, and it's really hard to find any R31 series 3 for under 3 grand. I really like the lights on the series 3, way better looking than the series 1+2. Fat chance on finding a GTS2 for sale, with only 200 made; i doubt someone would sell something that valuable.

Thanks B.J. Useful Info!

I've been there, r31skylineclub.com, I'll take a closer look though. Thanks mate.

What would be a good and cheap way to modify an R31 for drifting? For example, what suspension should I get? things like that.

Pintara R31s are 4 cylinders "2.0 L CA20E 78 kW (105 hp)", they don't really have the skyline look but I guess I'll save alot of petrol because its almost two times weaker than the RB30E. The Pintara TRX look alright though.

Not very comforting words joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo, I was hoping to pay for my insurance and save up for an R32 with the apprenticeship. Doesn't look like that'll be happening; but doesn't it depend on the trade you pick and the company you work for? And thanks 122 for the comment, I am a bit of a lead foot; my parents are always telling my off when I drive. So I won't be driving like a grandma. Putting gas into an R31 might not be a great idea either; I heard mainly Ford and Holdens can handle petrol and gas well at the same time. Don't know how a Nissan would go.

I've specifically joined this site to ask this question, as everyone here is a skyline enthusiast and knows their stuff. I'm planning on getting an R31 as my first car; due to financial restrictions, my bubble of an R32 as a first was bursted. I still have months before I get my license (November), but being impatient and a car lover I wanted to plan it now. As I don't have a job, meaning no savings, my parents will unfortunately have to pay for my first car. So it'll have to be cheap, and I love skylines, so an R31 is my best option. Now t my question, the R31 models usually have a 6 Cylinder 3Litre RB30E engine. Is it going to kill me in petrol money? As I'm planning on doing an apprenticeship, which requires travelling, I don't want to be struggling much with petrol on a low wage. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. P.S. (Off Topic) If anyone in Victoria is looking for an electrician apprentice, here I am! I live in Werribee, so anywhere around there would be fine.
