yeh thats rght, there a pintara dressed up.

but whats the R31 got to do with it?

There are pintara R31s.

If you wack a CA18 in them, they move ok, good bang for buck sleepers.

But he could be talking about the older RWD 910 bluebird thingy TRX's. If so there are plenty of fast ones of them, just you wouldnt pick them from a standard one.

early pintaras (shape before the trx) had the r31 body, but a ca20 4cyl motor - those were rwd. And shit

Newer ones with the ka24 i'm sure are fwd. Theyre also the same car as the ford corsair. Not a bad car, but i'd probably spend my money elsewhere.

There was a run of R31 Pintara TR-X's, they were a CA20E with a bodykit and old Bluebird TR-X wheels and nothing else, so yeah, shit.

Only 2.4 litre TR-X I know of is the U12 Pintara, and its FWD, so I dunno which car Koleka is talking about.....

I actually found the U12 TR-X a bit of fun to drive, fairly good point & shoot steering for what it was, and reasonably gutsy for a 4cyl if you keep it's revs up

Heya people, after finding out that these cars are a RWD 2.4 Ltr, i was wondering why no body modifies them?

any info about the car would be great also.

thanks

Yep, i think you've crossed a wire somewhere... The 2.4 litre Nissan Pintara TRX from thye late 1980's was front wheel drive with LSD, and widely disliked for a number of reasons. The engine was a KA24E single overhead cam 12 valve engine pushing out 96kw. There are some running CA18DET engines, but aside from that, extensive modifications are rare because the chassis was always a little ropey.

The 2.0 litre Nissan Bluebird TRX from the early to mid 1980's was rear wheel drive, ran an L20 engine, and are more popular for modifying than the Pintara. Many of the faster Bluebirds run FJ20 engines. Click here for an example http://www.turbocreations.com/fj20/troysbluebird/. It's not necessarily a good example, but it was the first one I found and I am lazy.

And according to others the R31 Pintara has a TRX version running a 2.0 litre rear wheel drive.

So there are your choices - 2 litre rear drive or 2.4 litre front drive. There is no 2.4 litre rear drive as far as i know.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
