  • 25RBGT changed the title to Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

Yeah mate 2022 at Lismore, I went right under! Luckily it was fresh flood waters and it has been sitting since after the owners cleaning interior. 
the motor has compression and is turning over.

I couldn’t refuse the car for the price haha I’m in no rush, I already have a 34 and a patrol on the road. More of something to keep me busy and I really regretted selling my original 31 10 years ago.

 

Reminds me of my old 31 daily. The whiny diff and the replacement that was worth half the price of the car, the broken front seat, the peeling vinyl from the door trims, the mule kick from the series 3 auto box, the dodgy front ball joints and my dad crashing it into a Volvo.

Plus the many days spent at pick n payless grabbing anything good from other 31s and pintaras

Yeah I remember these pick and Payless adventures with my fist couple 31’s 10+ years ago.Hardly anything left r31 in nsw now at wreckers. 
RIP pick and Payless, I hear it never made it threw covid and they scrapped all the cars 😭

Found some cancer in the topical location for 31’s, do some emergency surgery over the next few days and see if it’s a show stopper for this silo.

The old fuel tank showed it’s not going to be just a matter of cleaning unfortunately. 
The club sticker and BMW  e30 quarter  
indicators arrived.

He managed to find me over on R31SkylineClub forum ~ he'll be headed up here whenever to pull the good fuel tank (and other bits and pieces) from my spare S2 pinny parts car... should help the project & keep costs down 😃

Yeah mate, your help is just what I need to give this project a little bump along, and closer to putting the historic number plates on this silo. 👌😁

thank you

Little rust converter under the ass end some paint and fish oil and she’s ready for the new tank! Then we will get a ignition, thanks to the ever faithful r31 skyline club community most of all Solder.👏👌

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
