Finally got a manifold that didn't cost $800+

Won it from ebay with 1second left - thought I was smart but the one after sold for $65 less!

Either way, not bad for an ebay jobbie...

[funkymonkey]

quality joins and welds on that unit there

[someonestolecc]

Yeah I'm hoping the carbon blocks up the little errr, 'features'.

hahaha 31 is number 1!

Good to see mate! Now quit your whinging - 31s are almost a ceffie (s13 coilovers with slightly stiffer fronts to accomodate the anchor-weight of the RB and they can handle almost the same as an s13 oooh baby)

Even Grants' in on this convo omg! Its Luke from mossy high

Im just about to sell my s3 auto silhoette to get a s3 manual silhouette in mint condition.

My plan is just to fit a minispool, extractors (already got them), and some low hard springs, then have a daily drifter. (my 180s NEVER going in another carpark. weekender only).

Go hard son!

[Dan_J]

bah... dont r31 drift like a boat?

[someonestolecc]

This one is a boat. With s13 suspension in it it would be nice - it actually feels good and I can see it being a rewarding car with some good suspension.

Unfortunately I'm giving up. I'll probably buy another car in the next 5 years but for now it'll be staying stock. I'll be selling up my parts over the next couple of weeks - which is a pity cos I had the majority of bits to make the r31 a fun drifting package :\

[gtrchick]

hahaha i spray painted 2 panels of my old r31 before i sold it, i wrote HELP! on the roof and f**k u on the boot, was a gooood nite. i think the kid is probably still driving around with help on the roof.
