hmm R30 does alot for me than the R31.

oh a mate of mine wants to buy a DR30 coupe by the way, he is looking to spend between 8-12K on one. i suggested that purple one but haven't got a reply from him yet.

He can buy mine for that much!! It only needs a couple little bits and pieces...

diff

brakes

gearbox

paint

door rubbers

steering wheel

more paint

interior retrim

radiator support needs to be straightened

headlight and grill need replacing

lots of tidying.

yeah, I'd be happy to let it go for 12k ;-)

with the hr31 stuff your talking changing struts too.. to make it a bolt on thing?

here pics of what we need??

I have these under my HR30 PNV and on Saturday I pick up BNR32 GTR callipers, rotors & pads for $400.00.

Just bought DR slotted front rotors for $130.00 each, that will be up for grabs later.

Cheers.

It's all academic anyway.

I don't think it's practical to get much more than 300HP to the ground without heaps of wheel spin and then top grade $400 each tyres would be needed, Yoko A-032's or similar street legal racers.

My mate in Adelaide has an MR30 sedan with 175Kw at the tyres and he spins wheels coming out of every corner and his point to point times are slower than when he had just 140rwkw. Granted his tyre selection isn't great, 225/50 x 17 Bridgestones I think, on 17 x 7 wheels, but it does demonstrate the problem.

I have Yoko A-008 RSII's, 245/45 x 16 and I think more than 300 will create problems.

Now that Matt has deserted the ranks and now prefers a HR31, "THAT SOMEONE ELSE BUILT" I should get my finger out and finish mine, just to show how an HR30 can blow the doors off his new acquisition.

Lakeside might be a fun place to do it eh!!!!!

You'll need at least a 2S license as well, I should have my C3/R5 by then.

Looking for a 260Z 2+2 as a Targa Classic project.

If you spent some on your's it would be equally as good as this 31 your looking at, did anyone notice the HR31 RB20DE GTS on ebay last week, sold for about $2500.00 in Vic.

Ghostrider - sorry to question further, but why not replace lower control arm with polyurethane? i dont care either way but i may need to ring them first thing monday and ask for them to cancel the poly part and re order me a rubber part if its not too late ... since im in WA and all the parts are coming from the East.

im only getting polyurethane coz thats what they automatically chose for me. like they said this this and that is worn out, itll cost $500 to fix. so i said okay book it for next wednesday. then i thought shit i wonder if theyre regular bushes or if i can upgrade to poly ones so i rang back and hes was like nah that price is for poly ones already. so yeah i just went with what he said ...

but a guy i know said careful or you make it too stiff? is that what having poly bushes in the control arms will do? too jarring or something? whats the deal? haha

i must admit i didnt complain about it being poly bushes though since im a modifier type guy at heart, so if ever i need to buy a part for my car i want it to be in some way 'better' or 'stronger' than the part it's replacing. so thats why i just said okay to all urethane bushes!

if you realy got serious the 26 would beat the FJ wouldnt it not? 26 can make more power ultimately. like the 26 with some upgraded turbos and cooler and exhaust would make some pretty decent power even if the 31 does weigh 1360kg. my DR weighs 1280kg. so its not that much more plus yeah, you get a better base for mods, like the simple mods to an FJ that get like low 200rwhp would get you plenty more in the 26, and then bolt on turbo upgrades more again without going too serious even yet.

*shrug* i like 31 2 doors too i guess haha

I reckon the old FJ20,absolutly full tilt,would give a built RB26 a good run for its money.There's many Skyline's with 900+hp in Japan,but I haven't seen an FJ20 built to the same extent? Has anyone?

I'm thinking an FJ24,or maybe even take it to 2.6L with a spacer plate under the head,...and with everything done to it,and a T51R SPL BB turbo,or maybe T88H 34D,etc...... Would be nice to see anyway!!!!! :);):rant:

haha someone should build it. super FJ! im too young otherwise id be keen! haha plus my car needs about 2.5k of rust fixing in a year or 2 so id do that before stroker kits and shit :D

but i duno the 26 prob still be bit better coz of more capacity and more cylinders so more torque off boost and to get the big turbo going? but then true when u think of 26 u think of gtrs which have 4wd and a 30/31 wont ... so i dunno realy haha

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
