crystal tail lights may not suit a 31 man

i sort of agree with you but im just curious on what it would look like although the import ass end does look good standard ive had the car 6 years now and was thinking of changing the look

get some old style wheels with massive offset and stretched tyres, and then lower it so it tucks tyre.

you can order those performance alloys watanabe rip off's in nearly any size you want... get some 15 X 10's 0 offset.

yeah ive got an old style deepdish 2 piece rim off a gts-x and as for the lowering ive already got adjustable koni shocks with lowered kings its pretty much the lowest 31 around well one of and people hate me for it so its wound up at the moment just above the tyre line

led conversion might be cool, without the 'ice'. would be a custom job though ive never heard of anyone making r31 ice bling taillights.

projector headlights, white out the black striping (or remove) and put a front lip on it with decent front bar. that way itll look better. ice taillights are the automotive worlds way of showing off your bad taste.

If you can understand Japanese, or have a translation program, somewhere in the R31House.co.jp site there are some pics of an R31 with LED tail lamps. They look exactally like the standard tail lamps, but once lit up the LED's look awesome.

Unfortunatly, their site has changed, and with me being unable to read japanese I have no idea what I am looking at.

**EDIT** I found a pic.....not the best but all I can find!

cheers mate i think u have seen them on that site ive also seen one skyline down the coast like that it looked good. if you want to fet in to r31 house go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and tranlate r31house.co.jp it will bring the whole site up in english :dry:

hotplates ftw

that's what the 'lines are known for, i see absolutely no reason to change it to try and be (apparently) cooler.

try an R30 taillight conversion if possible :D

im not trying to be cooler :) as you put it but if you had a car for six years you would want a change too, your coment on the want to be cooler part is so missled i want to be different not cool :P

ok sorry not quite cooler then, different eh...

sell it and buy a DR30! :D now that's different...

i was thinking about doing the opposite (selling it and buying a 31) but that's not financially possible at the mo' :(

id love to have a dr30 too but i cant part with it if i did it would be near impossible to find another one there getting quite rare i cant even find interior parts as the model i have which is the straight gts 1987. i could imagine how hard it would be to get parts for a dr as im led to believe there even rarer, the import rs that is :D

oh yeah its rare as anything, and expensive too. there are some shops in japan that stock some parts but u can imagine the hassle in that :blink:

yep thats the price we pay for having rare cars but its worth it all the same. and it is a hassle getting stuff from japan when your just an everyday person and not a company that can import in bulk :

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
