definitely! front bumper scrapes around corners but more importantly, it makes the corners!

just wish mine was manual (wonder how much an rb20 box costs.. ;o)

mansoor you dirty man. auto R31 is the devils creation. just sell it an buy a manual. they are all so cheap anyway.

at 200,000kms they are just nicely run in! engine condition of an RB30 is the least of the worries! :( lol

hahaha.. well i dont want it to die on me. i want it to serve me well as i thrash the absolute shit out of it.

it pretty much did a face plant on a big bump the other day - hardly a dent!

it sooo needs a locked diff or lsd tho

i think it's been too long since you drove your GTR :(

hehe

dirt > tarmac ;p

fairy muff. I still say just flog it and get a sillo. they come in manual and come with LSD too (though often stuffed).

i'd get one but they cost a bit more than a 31

the thing that makes the 31 fun is that i dont care if i spin out and hit a tree on the side of the road lol. and i've had close calls before lol. :(

man, sillo is a 31! my sillo cost me a thousand bux. 5 speed, with 2 sets of rims (inc the gen sillo alloys), good condition LSD but stuffed everything else. oh it had the dual swaybar mod too. the best bit is I drove it into the ground then sold it for $1500 bux (with a flat battery, and flat tyre and a misfire!). noice.

but I agree the best part is not caring if you bin it. hell mine broke down so I left it parked on the side of a main road for 2 weeks till I could be eff'd picking it up. I just put a note on the windcreen that read: "Not abandoned, just f**ked!".

oh silhouette....... i thought u meant a silvia... haha

that was a good buy then. my one was 900 and was just a plain auto Ti

:O leave my muff out of this.....

sorry ma'am. :D

yeah, the thousand seemed like good value once it was sold, but not such good value when it was lying stuffed by the side of the road... lol.

lol, I knew that vid would be right up your alley. i even had my girlfriend film it. it actually sounds alright for a busted arse 31 and smoked 'em nicely through first and a good part of second. love it. best thousand bux a man could spend besides hookers and cocaine.

sorry brave, you're about 3 years too late :laugh: pete had a red wagon a few years ago. from memory it was SR20 turbo power...

and trust33, forget the shims, when we say R31 locked diff, we mean welded diff. get the mig out, crank up the power and away you go. :laugh:

(unless you are talking about any car other than a R31. if that's the case do not weld your diff!)

Dam, I'd love to see some footage of that if anyone has some. Did it handle well? What suspension did they use? Ours is bog stock RB30, 5 speed, 204,000 genuine old man log book included kms. Original tape deck, air cond, spotless interior (and i mean spotless). The car was from Dubbo (Dubbo Nissan sticker on the back) and i cant find a single bubble of rust its a cracker!

I'll post a pic or 2 of the beast if ya want! Go the wagon!!!!!

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
