Could someone tell me exactly what I'm looking at?

10000301ko.jpg

I don't know much about cars in general, and all I know about this one is it's a 1986 Nissan R31 Skyline GX. I bought it off a private seller for AU$2,000.

I'd like to know what all the bits are and what the performance should be like.

Cheers,

-Bazza :bunny:

It's an RB30e, rather stock looking.

I'll take a stab in the dark and say it's an auto due to the lines running along the firewall, and it also appears to have cruise control.

You'll find pretty much everything you want to know about it here.

153.162 to be accurate.

114.3Kw x 1.34 = 153.162HP

I didn't think the .3 was really worth adding into the equation :)

Either way, it's more than enough power for an L plater, and certainly enough power to get you into (or out of) trouble.

Is it a GX, or a GXE model?

I love the dark blue 31's.... but I assume it used to be white?

If you paid 3k for it with the mags and kit already on it, you've done fairly well.

Dunno if you were after any suggestions on mods, but I'm going to offer a few anyway :)

Remove the Nismo badge and use it as a frisbee.

I was looking at the car thinking "nice, nice, nice....." then I saw the Nismo badge and my thoughts changed from "nice" to "rice" :P

Probably also remove the red thing on the drivers door (unless it's there to cover a scratch in the paint work). :rofl:

Change the centre garnish on the boot so that it matches the tail lights, or change the tail lights so they match the garnish.

It looks rather odd how it is. :ermm:

Do something about the exhaust. :(

Lower it.. a set of low Kings or similar... the 4WD style ride height detracts from the pimp factor of the body kit.

GX

It's black. :D and it used ot be cream, as indicated by the engine bay.

I payed $2,000 after haggling.

Remove the Nismo badge and use it as a frisbee.

The original badges have gone ta-ta's so the Nismo badge will be staying for a while yet. :(

Probably also remove the red thing on the drivers door (unless it's there to cover a scratch in the paint work). :)

I tried to pull it off but it was leaving glue-marks so I just stuck it back on.

Change the centre garnish on the boot so that it matches the tail lights, or change the tail lights so they match the garnish.

It looks rather odd how it is. :rofl:

I think it looks different, which is exactly what I want this car to be: Different (and attention whoreing) :P

Do something about the exhaust. :P

I rekkon if I try to move it I'm gonna break off the bodykit.

Lower it.. a set of low Kings or similar... the 4WD style ride height detracts from the pimp factor of the body kit.

I like the ride height as is. IMO any lower would look like every other wannabe pimp with 20 inch chrome dinnerplates. :)

I want this car to be different, and to reflect myself. I do appreciate suggestions but I'm going my own way with this car.

How would a spoiler such as this one I drew in MS Paint look in the boot? I was hoping I can find one where the legs would fit either side of the indentations on the boot and the wing would be the same width as the boot itself.

I think those lines are brake lines but he hasn't denied it's an auto.

You can take this as my denial :ermm:

That car is hideous :O.

And what can ya expect for a 20 year old car? XD

I don't want something quite that stupid. Imagine the spoiler on a V8 Supercar. Thats pretty much what I'm after.

And yes I am an attention whore so :rofl: .

Dont' forget that the boys in blue will also give you attention if you make it look dodgy.

I respect your intentions but please don't put that wing on it or any other wing apart from one factory released for an R31 Skyline.

I think tinting the windows would be a good idea for looks, coolness in summer and security.

btw, it wasn't me that suggested you had an auto.

No worse than a black R31 with the shit you want to hang on it.

Remember your on L's and the law, even in SA just love clayton's hot shots like you want to be.

Maybe you should at least learn how to drive before you become another idiot behind the wheel.

It's my car, so I can do whatever I want with it, even if you lot think it's a bad idea.

If I do this right it shouldn't look that ugly... I never said I was going to put a 10 foot tall wing on the damn thing o.O

At least they're on HR31 Imports with what amounts to some real performance, but this guy wants to put them on a poxy old stock R31 and most people with any knowledge are just gunna laugh their heads off. But as he says, it's his car and he has the right to make a fool of himself if he likes.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
