"Auction grade 4.5 with a B interior (almost unheard of for a vehicle of this age)."

They are becoming collectors item over there.

Is a BIT exy... not too bad. After a major detail it would make more sense. I reckon prestige is more expensive then most though

again, it's not a Passage.

It doesn't have a Passage interior.

It doesn't have Passage badging.

All Passages are 4 door pillarless, but not all 4 door pillarless are Passages. :(

I dunno how you can say that Sky, with so much conviction.

I have only seen 3 or 4 Passage GT's, but all have been different, different interiors, some had the rear wing and some didn't, some were badged and some weren't, all had different wheels, 1 had a body kit and the others didn't.

How would you know for sure?????????

The description says it's a coupe and it clearly isn't, so how come your such the veritable expert and all from a picture or 2.

Still though, at the end of the day it's a 4 door R31 red top RB20DET and all the reports I have read, say the same thing, they run out of puff around 5000 so they're not as punchy as you might think.

Another thing with either of the 4 door R3's, if your over about 5' 8" tall, your head & shoulder's are going to be in the middle of the back door glass, not a great place to be sitting in my opinion.

If I was buying any R3 series, a coupe is the only way to go and they can be bought for this sort of money, here in Oz landed and complied and with rego.

Cheers, D

That's probably because like some of the posters above, you're assuming that if it's a 4 door import, it's a Passage.

It's badged as a GTS.

It doesn't have the plush velour interior.

The front seats are the wrong shape, and also the wrong colour, and the wrong fabric... Passage simply didn't have an interior that looks like that, and iirc the Passage has a centre arm rest in the rear (as per Ti) which is also absent.

Steering wheel is not an original Passage item.

..... all of the above could have been changed by a previous owner, but it's not very likely.

It would be like buying a GTR and removing everything that makes it a GTR, then selling it as a GTS.

the s1&2 passages are the same with the blue interior like mine, s3 is different n doesnt have the velour seats, altho some people put the blueys back in their s3

that passage doesnt have the GT tail lights, rather has the boring 4 door ones

also that passage doesnt have cruise control where i thought that came standard?

also no tape stacker? wtf :P

in my opinion i think this car is a bit of a mixo

a mix of this a mix of that

but i wouldnt pay that. i paid 1200 for my passage which needed a small amount of work done

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
