Hi Guys,

As title sais this is an EOI so its not up for sale as of yet, will be June 25th onwards as I am getting a hr31 gts-x :(.

Bought this car about 4 weeks ago with chromies and mismatched paint, so i changed all that.

Model: 1988 S3 Executive R31 Skyline

Mileage: 295 xxx

Transmission: 5 Speed manual

What grabbed my attention was that it has:

- fresh calipers / rotors / pads

- new power steering rack

- dif replaced 80,000 k's ago

- new master / slave

- pedders comfort shocks / springs - ride really nicely and handle well

Current Mods:

- Fresh R32 Manual Box

- Extreeme HD Clutch

- 17" Speedy Hyperfangs

- R32 shifter / cobra 4 momo wheel / momo boss kit

- Repainted to match silver all over except for strip in middle

- Pedders comfrt shocks / springs

- Dual rear swaybars

- 2 1/2 exhaust with a magnaflow hi flow cat

- Advance extractors

- Brand new NGK Iridium spark plugs

- Brand Eagle 8 Mil performance leads

- Clear indicators (just that fliro stuff)

- fresh 92+ tectaloy coolant

- brand new timing belt, water pump, and all other belts

- pioneer deck, alphine 6x6's front, alpine 6x6's rear

Cons: The high k's put me off at first but after driving the car i thought otherwise, this car drives like a dream, runs better than my old 31 that only had 185 xxx on it.

Slight bump in the rear right bumper, and paint fade on top of the roof, a battery also exploded in the engine bay leaving some spray (easily fixed)

other than that this car is A1, mechanically and the body is real nice.

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
