Picked this up over the weekend.. a HR31 Passage GT. Don't see many of these around up here in QLD so its something different. It's going to need work as part's of it are rough around the edges, but for the most part its straight, pretty much all in tact, and goes ok for an rb20.

It's chasis number is in the 3000's and it's a late 1985, which I'm guessing makes it one of the first few every produced.

It's pretty much tricked out with most things (although some are now a little rooted) that you'd feel be pressed to find on many modern cars: stereo controls on the dash, old style climate control, elec mirrors, windows, cruise control, headlight squirter thingos, adjustable "soft, medium, hard" electronic suspension (unfortunately stuffed :(), and who knows what else I haven't discovered yet. Will be interesting to give the cruise control a try.. thats if it still works..

Horny interior, but it needs a general tidyup..

and I thought I was only after one project car :) We'll see how this one goes - only going to do things slowly on this one.

Thankfully the engine has been swapped over for a nice silvertop RB20DET and gearbox so there is some potential there for maybe a drifter, or just overall pimp cruiser.

Don't really need 3 cars.. so if anybody is after a nice clean and reliable aussie R31 for a daily let me know :(

Looks good Pred... I took a Passage for a "test drive" a few years back and while I was stunned at the level of interior trickery for an "old" car, I wasn't overly impressed with the NICS RB20DET...

With a fresh silver top in there, that thing would go like a champion...

Glad to see you've seen the light re sedans too :rofl:

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
