hi there guys and girls , im new to the site but not new to the R31 as i have owned mine for 7yrs or so now , its not in th best shape but its rd worthy and just needs some TLC and $$ thrown at it ... A work in progress you might say lmao

INFO:

89 Series 3 Sillo Sedan

5 spd manual

Mini spool in the diff 3.89 ratio gearset

Lowered KING SPRINGS front and rear

15" mags from a nissan silvia which bolted on no worries as i was sick of the ugly lookin stndrd skyline wheels lol

Pod filter and modified induction system with extractors and a full 3" mandrel bent mild steel exhaust with highflow cat and cannon in the rear , mot a muffler of hotdog insite and the growl is quite prominent lol

15.79 is the ET at the drags on a 500k+ motor thats not too bad i guess with 2 gears of wheel spin

Looking at putting in a turbo N/A motor that i am collecting the parts for as we speak , so far i have the to4e turbo , highmount stainless manifold , 50mm wastegate and a haltech E6X EMS , need to get the injectors/fmic/head gasket and the various hoses and fittings to do the job , i have a spare motor that i am going to put the bits and pieces on b4 i swap it into the car , hoping to get 750cc injectors and run 14lb boost and i would like a modest 300hp at the rear wheels which shoud make for 13sec ET at the drags ....

anyhow here is the link to my car if you wanna have a look , as i said shes not too pretty and the paint has been through the wars but rome wasnt built in a day :D

nice,

dont ever paint it.

an awesome sleeper!!

first off id like to say welocme to SAU qld ;-)

mud is right i think after ya done the mods you will have a nice lil sleeper but i think you might be selling ya self a bit short when ya said 300hp , im runnin somthin very simler to you in my r33 . i got t04e on modifide hiflow manifold , 750cc injecters and running 35mm external gate thats been plumed right back to the bend ( for better flow ) and with a good tune and my safc2 dialed in right i got 400 rwhp

neway good luck with it

cheers ...... ;-)

mud to be honest i wasnt going to paint it anything flash , just rub back the clear coat and redo that and straighten panels and just get it looking as "normal" as i could so yeah the thought for sleepa is there as i dont wanna advertise to the boys in blue that i have something fun to drive ya know lol

quick33 i might be selling myself short but im also looking at the fact i have an N/A motor and dont wanna wring its neck just yet , if i get a bigger power rating than i'm quoting that would be awesome , the kit i have is a no brand setup not a garret or anything like that but hell when its finished i know it will be a hell of a ride specially with a locked diff and the rain we get here hmmm , i dont thinkill drive it in the wet as ill loose the little bit of plastic in my wallet for sure as im a wet drifter at heart lmao , im from darwin and we had wet or dry conditions so the learning was there for wet drifting , it was a good place to start as i have never driven anything with power besides he V8 holden when i was 17 hehe

anyways guys thanks for the welcome to the site and hope to talk to a few more of you again soon

cheers festa

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
