[evil_weevil]

Basically I had to pay off a whole bunch of debts. I kept some money to buy another car and the r31 is it

I've already done some cutting of the front bar for the fmic and put on some tints (Thanks Greg from Unique/group buy thread)

Just bought some s13 lower control arms and brakes today in preparation for the s13 coilovers. (Thanks to Kirk/Initial Imports, who can get you rb74 pads for $136 an end) Hopefully I can find some decent/affordable second hand ones. I've also ordered a intercooler kit for it today from gktech $349+45 delivery and they have kits for a31s!!

Need the diff fixed.. anyone know how to weld? I smell bacon

you bought a 4 door just so you could stay in this section didn't cha? didn't cha?

if you were in melb I'd ask you to bring the car around to give it a spray in the paint booth to cover up that nasty paint fade.

You have a booth? I was going to hit it with some matte black but I'm not sure how long the paint will last (at $3.50 a can). If you can paint it for me it might warrant a drive to Melbourne and some sanding.... How much would paint cost?

and yes I did wanna stay in this section so I can find rims in 4 stud with GOOD offset and cheap (i.e. it'll hurt the guards) then I'm there well.. me and everyone else. Or maybe 4-5stud bolt on spacers.

Dude why did you have to sell it to someone in qld. Down goes the price of mine again, market getting flooded

Good that you sold it tho, must be a good feeling to be debt free again.

Haha, I should be within the next month or so too. Quiting a job and getting a massive holiday payout also helps tho

[racsov500]

real men drive r31s. this is something that you SAUers will one day learn. awesome choice mate, you wont be dissapointed! should have got a silo though, is it gx (manual) or executive (auto)?

fmic orly, what motors goin in?

[NismoR31Jet]

Nothing wrong with an R31....RWD....RB engine.....Cheap insurance as it is not an import....

[someonestolecc]

Debt free owns.. Actually I'm still in debt for a year or so but atleast now I can get my own place.. been shacked up at the gfs and nearly been stabbed a few times - not correlated really

I will have a cefiro one day again however, assuming I don't change my mind between now and the time I'll be able to afford one again

As for the r31, s13 coilovers, VLT setup+FMIC. Hopefully drift pig. I was considering a 25/30 stock setup but with rb25 heads + ancillaries likely to cost over $1k it's hard to justify that on what is essentially a rolling fridge.

The thing is an ugly piece of shit with smelly interior (which will be removed) and piece of shit lethargic SOHC anchor as an engine.... Still - it is RWD, a Nissaaan and can be drifted... and funnily has a RB sound and feel to it (altho a lot more asthmatic than the DETs). Spose that's not -too- bad. Morgs also threw in his trolley jack to sweeten the deal

[Beer Baron]

good thing he did too cause you'll need it!
