Intro from an R31 fan

Hello all,

I've had my fair share of the R31 bug for a long time now. I started out with an 89 executive, bought another 89 and ended up with an 86 Silhouette project car.

I've had plenty of good times with the old R31's and many headaches from 365,000+ Ks on the old daily. I finally parted with my first 89 a few years ago now because I needed the time to work on my project car. I probably spent too much time and money on the 89 but it was a pretty nice car when I was done.

Times have changed a bit now and I don't have the time to spend on the Silhouette. I joined up today so that I could post my Silhouette up for sale in the forums in the hopes that someone else wants to take it on.

I hope you find some enjoyment in the photos of the old daily.

 

Thanks,

James

Yeah that's right. That's my old daily, the executive. I'm selling off the Silhouette. I haven't tried the R31 club, thanks for the suggestion.

Ah righto haha. I don't know why people insist on posting random pictures with their posts, this isn't "pic for attention" Facebook. :P

I still have my GXE, I should register it.

Yeah I'm keeping the Silhouette now. Had a bit of a change in the current circumstances so it's back on now. If it was anything but a Silhouette I'd be happy to help but I wanna hang on to all the parts as they are pretty hard to come by. Apart from the rear bumper mine's in great condition. Only missing the factory cassette player and headphones (and a running engine)

I'll probably give the RB26 conversion a miss and keep it stock. Just have to find a place with some good prices on stock internals. There's a couple of mobs around here but I've never bought off them. Just had head work done a few times. From what I've found a crate engines about $5k so I'm hoping to get the parts for it under that

    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
    • Mate, I take this thread in random directions on occasion myself, so no foul I'm a old fan of MCM anyway, I like their banter, and enjoy most of the stuff they do
    • Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.  
    • I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
