looks like i've got a few people interested in this now. Does any one know of anyone else running this setup. I don't know of any others in tas. Just spoke to my mechanic on the phone and he said the turbo is in and very tidy. He's just waiting on some engine parts then we can slap it back together and throw it on the dyno!

I've been on the 31 site, haven't posted anything though. Just rang my mechanic. Gotta wait another bloody week. I'm hanging out to get my beast back for a run. Don't think i'll last another week.

I DO APPOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS BUT I'M USING MY PHONE AND I CAN'T WORK OUT HOW TO TURN IT OFF. HAVEN'T GOT A BUILD THREAD, WHAT FORUM DO I PUT THAT IN? VERY NEW TO THE SITE SORRY.

WE ALL KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RESIST THROWING A FEW MODS IN

I SUPPOSE THERE WILL BE LAG, BUT ILVE GOT A GT3082 WITH THE HOUSING BROUGHT OUT OR SOMETHING. ITS GOING INTO AN AUTO SO I'M PUTTING IN A STALL CONVERTER OF ABOUT 2500RPM, MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SPOOL UP THE TURBO AND BE BOOSTING FROM THE START LINE. I'LL LET YA KNOW WHEN I GET IT BACK.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE. IM NOT JUST PUTTING A TURBO IN I'M DOING A FEW OTHER THINGS TO. NISTUNE COMPUTER, FORGED PISTONS, CAMSHAFT, VSLVES PORT AND POLISHED, INJECTORS, AND WHATEVER ELSE I CANT THINK OFF. BUT TO BE HONEST I DONT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I'LL POST UP MY BEFORE AND AFTER DYNO RESULTS WHEN I GETG THEM.

FAIR ENOUGH. ARE YOU GOING TO MOD THE WAGON AT ALL? OR JUST KEEP IT STANDARD?

YEAH. EXPECTING 220 - 240 KW AT THE REAR WHEELS. BUT WE'LL WAIT AND SEE. ONCE I GET USE TO IT I'M GONNA GET IT UP TO ABOUT 300. SHOULD FLY!

SHOULD BE GETTING MY 31 BACK IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND ITS GOING TO HAVE AN STS TURBO SETUP AMONG SOME OTHER THINGS. I'M AIMING TO GO SLEEPER SPEC AND WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS A SIMULAR SET UP SO I COULD GET SOME FEED BACK. CHEERS.

I DON'T HAVE ONE BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY YA WANT A WAGON INSTEAD OF A SEDAN?

I WORK AT A SERVO. SO I CAN PROBABLY GIVE YA A 3 CENT PER LITRE DISCOUNT ON YA 98 OCTANNE, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO POP IN AFTER A BIG NIGHT I CAN PROBABLY CHUCK IN SOME GOOD "OLD" BAY MARIE FOOD TO SOAK UP THAT GROG! THIS IS WHEN THE BOSS AIN'T AROUND OF COURSE.

THE BUMPERS ON MY CAR WHEN I GOT IT AINT THAT FLASH, WANT GOOD COND BUMPERS THAT WILL FIT IT OR EVEN A CHEAP 31 OR PINATRA THAT HAS THEM. MAY CONSIDER A WAGON IF ITS CHEAP ENOUGH. IF POSSIBLE IN THE LIGHT BLUE COLOUR. OH, SERIES 1 OR 2 BY THE WAY. AND SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, MY PHONE DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO BE NORMAL. IF ANY ONE KNOWS OF ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES LET ME KNOW. CHEERS

NAH NOT REALLY. ITS A BIT FUNNY. I MIGHT TRY PULLING IT ALL APART, CHECK THE WIRING AND THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. USUALLY FIXES MOST THINGS. WHERE WOULD I FIND THE RELAY? IN THE CAR THAT IS.

HAVE ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT NEVER REALLY CARED. MY HIGHBEAMS ON MY SERIES ONE OR TWO 31 ONLY WORK SOME OF THE TIME. I FLICK THEM ON, THE LOW BEAMS CUT OUT AND THE HIGHBEAMS RARELY TURN ON. OCCASIONALLY THEY WILL POP ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS? I'M GUESSING ITS PROBABLY THE INDICATOR LEVER THINGY BUT NOT TOO SURE. OH AND SORRY ABOUT THE CAPITAL LETTERS. I'M USING MY PHONE AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DO AS IT TOLD. CHEERS

Had an R31 for a while now, should have it back this week after some major performance modifications and was wondering if there's any skyline cruises down around the hobart area?
