all that changing of parts might aswell buy a skyline

Why? Pinnies are cheap as chips....

Pinnys are good for owners of modded R31's to reshell with.... ie. me.

If they get defected.... ie me

if they get written off because they're track cars ie. me.

and what you mean "might as well buy a skyline?" a R31 IS a skyline!

(Albiet a old, boxy looking thing that rusts and usually has more kilometres than a model t ford)

lol, na went home and got the skyline. took some timing out of the power fc.

Put your injectors in and tune it! Make some real grunt brudda!

I wanna see 250 at the treadlies.....

We both know it's well capable.

Oh, I got home, opened my speeding fine, went out to work on the 31, decided it was too hot, and went back inside in front of the aircon where Ive been sitting on the couch drinking beers all arvo LOL.

not saying theyre bad but i m saying if u have to buy all them parts to change it to one sometimes why bother yes its good in ur sitcho but its not the same 4 all

sorry, that was meant to be a tounge in cheek reply LOL...

Skyline parts are cheap as chips anyways, and most people who buy a 31 end up dropping a 20/25/26 or a 30DET anyways, changing sus/brakes to aftermarket or S13 aftermarket, so why now use the cheapest shell you can?

oh, and also almost ALL pintara's are under $1K (most are around $300 - $500), and even a decent S2 Skyline is still fetching $3K. a Decent S3 GXE like mine is good for $5-$6k.... Ti's even more, then when you start getting into the SVD's/Imports, the price goes up over $10K....

so yeah, grab a $500 pinny, and use the $4500 difference to make it stomp the shit out of a skyline LOL.

Oh, and ryan - :( WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's gonna be off the chizain fo shizzle. or something like that.

Just got a clean xf s-pack auto, 4.1 efi with 230,000 im the 3rd owner and its always been parked under a car port only paid $1200 :( its a daily and tow car but already im looking for 17inch AU XR8 mags and putting my 2x12inch subs in and dropping her 1.5 inch all way around.

but each to their own ben! im sure your 20 will do exactly what you want it to do once finished.

Yep. Skids. Big ones. And lots of em. And continually be thrashed like a $2 hanson road special.

And when she breaks, RB25DE goes in.

And that falcon is clean as!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
