1989 Nissan Skyline R31 Silhouette
Alright so I'm Jesse, apprentice mechanic and this is my first car purchased around March / May 2008. Bought off Ebay, Didn't run and was in QLD. Payed for the car, shipped to Vic for an arm and leg, punched the cat out and then skids
I do drive this daily sometimes, but I have 87' Ti as another daily, this car is being built up for drifting and the like.
I don't know how it happened, but the cat just got that blocked it clogged the exhaust up, must have been like that for a while. Punched it out, a battery and fuel and the car was perfect.
