Hey people!

Here's the short and sweet:

I have 2 R31's collecting dust in my car port, and taking up valuable room which my Soarer should be using. I'm back at Uni part time and have absolutely no need for this many cars! The '89 R31 is a complete car but there are a few issues with it, so it's being parted rather than me either fixing it or selling it whole for a song. The '87 R31 was the parts donor for the '89 and there are a few parts missing, but still some good stuff to be snapped up before it takes a trip to the car grave yard.

I'll take pictures of stuff if people want them.

1989 R31, auto, white, bog stock:

Bonnet ($100), boot lid ($60) and all four doors ($60 each) are in awesome condition. Blue cloth trim is in crap condition, but if someone wants it it's theirs. Bonnet has a little "46" badge on it, stuck on with 3M tape so easily removed, $10 off if you know what it's there for.

Glass headlights are in immaculate condition and I'm after $50 each or $80 if you want them both.

The front left quarter panel has some damage to it, and some prick dented the right one on the night the windscreen was smashed by vandals. If you're interested, I'll take a picture of the damage. Going free - come and get them.

Near new windscreen - $80 if someone wants it. Other glass, just ask.

Hot plate tail lights are in very good condition. I'm after $120 for the pair.

The four tyres are "Blue Streak" brand, GT770 model I believe. Suit stock rims. If someone wants them when I get rid of the car, they can have the lot for $250 - heaps of tread left, you also get the rims... and I'll throw in the spare (hankook I think).

Seats are blue, in excellent condition. $50 each for the fronts and $60 for the whole rear seat.

Fuel pump good, $30.

Radiator good, $30.

Steering wheel, dash, auto shift surround, all great condition. Make an offer.

It has a tow bar - if you want it, $40.

Engine has done around 270,000km. Most parts in great condition - new coil, plugs, leads etc recently. Crank angle sensor fine. Gearbox fine. Let me know what you want and I'll see what I want for it!

ECU still going strong. $100

That's all I can think of at the moment... if you want something I haven't listed, just let me know.

1987 R31, auto, white, bog-stock:

The following items are missing:

Crank angle sensor, top part of intake plenum, fuel pump/sender, various interior parts. I picked it up cheap (no reg etc) from the auctions to get some parts for the '89.. too much missing to get it running again easily. Pretty much the same stuff as the '89 model is available - everything in very good to excellent condition, and same prices.

You can call me if you have questions. I am available after 3:30pm Monday, after 11am Tue - Thu, after 1:30pm Friday, and all weekend. 0427 281 537.

Cheers!

I also have the rear seat audio jack/volume knob assembly from the 87 model in perfect condition, as well as one pair of the headphones that have sat in the packet unopened for 23 years! They went on Ebay a week or two ago for a fair sum... I'll take $30 for both.

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
