"Auction grade 4.5 with a B interior (almost unheard of for a vehicle of this age)."

They are becoming collectors item over there.

Is a BIT exy... not too bad. After a major detail it would make more sense. I reckon prestige is more expensive then most though

again, it's not a Passage.

It doesn't have a Passage interior.

It doesn't have Passage badging.

All Passages are 4 door pillarless, but not all 4 door pillarless are Passages. :(

I dunno how you can say that Sky, with so much conviction.

I have only seen 3 or 4 Passage GT's, but all have been different, different interiors, some had the rear wing and some didn't, some were badged and some weren't, all had different wheels, 1 had a body kit and the others didn't.

How would you know for sure?????????

The description says it's a coupe and it clearly isn't, so how come your such the veritable expert and all from a picture or 2.

Still though, at the end of the day it's a 4 door R31 red top RB20DET and all the reports I have read, say the same thing, they run out of puff around 5000 so they're not as punchy as you might think.

Another thing with either of the 4 door R3's, if your over about 5' 8" tall, your head & shoulder's are going to be in the middle of the back door glass, not a great place to be sitting in my opinion.

If I was buying any R3 series, a coupe is the only way to go and they can be bought for this sort of money, here in Oz landed and complied and with rego.

Cheers, D

That's probably because like some of the posters above, you're assuming that if it's a 4 door import, it's a Passage.

It's badged as a GTS.

It doesn't have the plush velour interior.

The front seats are the wrong shape, and also the wrong colour, and the wrong fabric... Passage simply didn't have an interior that looks like that, and iirc the Passage has a centre arm rest in the rear (as per Ti) which is also absent.

Steering wheel is not an original Passage item.

..... all of the above could have been changed by a previous owner, but it's not very likely.

It would be like buying a GTR and removing everything that makes it a GTR, then selling it as a GTS.

the s1&2 passages are the same with the blue interior like mine, s3 is different n doesnt have the velour seats, altho some people put the blueys back in their s3

that passage doesnt have the GT tail lights, rather has the boring 4 door ones

also that passage doesnt have cruise control where i thought that came standard?

also no tape stacker? wtf :P

in my opinion i think this car is a bit of a mixo

a mix of this a mix of that

but i wouldnt pay that. i paid 1200 for my passage which needed a small amount of work done

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
