crystal tail lights may not suit a 31 man

i sort of agree with you but im just curious on what it would look like although the import ass end does look good standard ive had the car 6 years now and was thinking of changing the look

get some old style wheels with massive offset and stretched tyres, and then lower it so it tucks tyre.

you can order those performance alloys watanabe rip off's in nearly any size you want... get some 15 X 10's 0 offset.

yeah ive got an old style deepdish 2 piece rim off a gts-x and as for the lowering ive already got adjustable koni shocks with lowered kings its pretty much the lowest 31 around well one of and people hate me for it so its wound up at the moment just above the tyre line

led conversion might be cool, without the 'ice'. would be a custom job though ive never heard of anyone making r31 ice bling taillights.

projector headlights, white out the black striping (or remove) and put a front lip on it with decent front bar. that way itll look better. ice taillights are the automotive worlds way of showing off your bad taste.

If you can understand Japanese, or have a translation program, somewhere in the R31House.co.jp site there are some pics of an R31 with LED tail lamps. They look exactally like the standard tail lamps, but once lit up the LED's look awesome.

Unfortunatly, their site has changed, and with me being unable to read japanese I have no idea what I am looking at.

**EDIT** I found a pic.....not the best but all I can find!

cheers mate i think u have seen them on that site ive also seen one skyline down the coast like that it looked good. if you want to fet in to r31 house go to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and tranlate r31house.co.jp it will bring the whole site up in english :dry:

hotplates ftw

that's what the 'lines are known for, i see absolutely no reason to change it to try and be (apparently) cooler.

try an R30 taillight conversion if possible :D

im not trying to be cooler :) as you put it but if you had a car for six years you would want a change too, your coment on the want to be cooler part is so missled i want to be different not cool :P

ok sorry not quite cooler then, different eh...

sell it and buy a DR30! :D now that's different...

i was thinking about doing the opposite (selling it and buying a 31) but that's not financially possible at the mo' :(

id love to have a dr30 too but i cant part with it if i did it would be near impossible to find another one there getting quite rare i cant even find interior parts as the model i have which is the straight gts 1987. i could imagine how hard it would be to get parts for a dr as im led to believe there even rarer, the import rs that is :D

oh yeah its rare as anything, and expensive too. there are some shops in japan that stock some parts but u can imagine the hassle in that :blink:

yep thats the price we pay for having rare cars but its worth it all the same. and it is a hassle getting stuff from japan when your just an everyday person and not a company that can import in bulk :

    • Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.
    • So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.
    • Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
    • If the original NA ECU has a separate TCU then you are going to need to reroute wires that used to run between the trans and the TCU to the appropriate (1 to 1 equivalent) pins on the ECU. Other than that, it should work. Look up posts by @Kinkstaah on the subject.
    • So the stagea was a series 2 neo det with tiptronic auto. (I have the transmission aswell) and has integrated tcu in the ecu. I'm hoping to use the entire stagea ecu, engine and auto harness.
