yeah, the 34 is a bit of a soft car next to a 31. I will be giving my GTR to my grandma to tootle around in once I get accustomed to the power of the 31.

So since mine is only the GTT I guess I should drop it off at a donations bin then, not even my grandma would lift an eye for it.

:confused:

hahaha, mark is a bit touchy as it didn't quite go to plan today...

B-man you are right on track mate. the 32 is already quite a step up from the 33. a nice 31 four door will be another quantam leap over the 32.

After reading this thread, I think I have been converted. Fatz, I've seen you drift at Oran, and it's crazy what your r31 can do.

I've always wanted to take the 33 out, but too worried about crashing/denting/breaking it. I guess this is the same as you beer baron?

Just a few questions though. I've looked over on carsales, and it seems that a 5speed 31 with the 3 L motor is about 2.5k. Is this about right?

How come all you guys get them for like 1K? Let us in on the secret to cheap r31s.hehehe.

2 things will get you a cheap 31.

1. you need to be in the right place at the right time.

2. it will be a heap of shit.

$2.5K for a manual 31 is alright as long is it's:

1. got rego

2. not f**ked

3. not previously owned by Fatz, Mark, me or anyone that they know.

4. can rip a burnout (test this before you buy).

happy motoring. I will probably sell my 31 soon as I want to buy another car. but unfortunately I've already started spending money on it. also, just be aware that $2.5K might not get you are car that is identical to Fatz's... it might miss out on a few of the bits he has like: being a coupe, have an RB26, having a big single, GTR brakes etc etc...

31 will not let you down though. plus the 4 doors are a thinking mans skyline. pure class.

the ones we buy for cheep are $hitboxes

i originally paid $5,100 for my silhouette. it was MINT, with 136,000 on the clock.

i thrashed it at skidpans, at oran park, at wakefield, everywhere. and it just asked for more. best part of the rb30 is you cannot break it.

i say buy one if you wanna have fun without worrying bout hurting a really special car.

Oh yeah, I know for sure it'll be an absolute 5hitbox . I just don't wanna hurt my car on the track, so I wanna buy a paddock basher.

Fatz/Mark... show me the way. hahahhaa

Fellars, I'm not expecting much from the 31, but does it actually have enough power to rip a burnout?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
