Looking to sell my current daily driver, and r31 s3 skyline. It's stock RB30 5speed manual, not in any hurry to sell so you pm me offers and ill get back to you.

Contact Details:

Location: Brisbane

Email Address: maljones87@hotmail.com

Car Details:

Model: 1990 S3 R31 Skyline

Engine: RB30-mf5 gearbox and lsd

Colour: Green and black

Ball park asking price: $2000

Condition: Few things wrong with it (gearbox needs reco or replacement, diff needs replacement, few cosmetic things to do), so it would suit someone looking to turn it into a project or drift car, or just as a daily driver as it's recently passed a roadworthy and still has rego. Looking for a replacement gearbox and diff at the moment so as with all r31 parts it's just a matter of keeping an eye out for someone selling at the right price as paying $800 to reco a $400 gearbox or diff is a bit of bullsh*t, so i'll add updates concerning that.

Back tyres need replacing so i'm about to do that. bought the car for $2000 and i spent around $1700 getting it more than roadworthy, basically everything mechanical besides the engine, driveline and diff are replaced. It's my project at the moment but i'm curious to see offers as i've been looking at other cars. I'll be doing cosmetic repairs also so once again i'll include updates. The dash electronics needs re-doing as the previous owner was a dirty tasmanian and decided to put bonnet gauges on it, which reminds me i'll probably replace the bonnet before any selling.

My rego runs out this month so i will be selling it with the rwc and whatever is left of the new 6 months rego. If i get most of the cosmetic work done plus the gearbox replacement, i'll bump the price to about $2800 with rwc and rego, so you can just drive that s.o.b away, but like i said just pm or email me with offers or trades i'll consider anything.

Parts that have been replaced -

Rear trailing arms (with urethane bushes) and others.

Custom gearbox mount

reco'd handbrake cable

wheel hubs and rotors replaced

new brakes

There were other parts replaced i just can't remember right now. Pics will be posted as soon as i can.

Forgot that engine was replaced with another RB30, though queensland transport didn't seem to notice or care so the rego still has the original engine number, but you can just change that if you really care that much it shouldn't be any problem.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
