IMB4U Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hay all you skyline fans, ive got my skyline finally in my drive way. i took another look under my bonnet and i thought to my self that it just gonna be to expensive to make it a sleeper, so i thought to my self about making it look nice, like changing the radiator hoeses to the steel braided ones, but woundering what else i can do to make it look clean nice and give it a bit of wow factor.

qikstagea Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) youll find busting out some good metal polish and a mini buffer bit on a drill will make it look a milliopn bucks. Dont go crazy with degreaser cos youll make all your fan belts squeak etc. You can pick up a stainless braiding kit to go over your stock piping for 50 bucks - always good. Get a pod with a tip that matches the colouring on your braiding. Good scrub of the strut towers. anything that looks nasty, take it off, degrease it, paint it, throw it back on. Amour all on your black piping an wiring. DOnt put on so much that its greasy and sticky... get a load of this - tidiest job IVE seen...

racsov500 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) get yourself a pod, a set of extractors, a 2.5' exhaust, and that should see it running better, and will take heaps of flogging provided its not in shit condition. then you can bolt on VLT gear, out in a vlt motor, put in a rb20, 25, or 26, or 25 heads on the 3l block, CA if its a pinny (engine xmember), plenty of potential in these cars, which is great seeing the purchase price is about the same as a set of chromies. and there are some insanely clean r31 engine bays out there too.. i have literally hundereds of pics of r31s wait for DVS JET to post his engine bay Edited July 13, 2006 by racsov500 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/125907-r31-skyline-upgrades/#findComment-2327539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colour coding the car and some nice rims for a start makes a big difference..Really depends how much money you want to spend.... For more help check out.. www.r31skylineclub.com Goodluck with it all Kel interesting, battery on the right??... before i put the rb25det into my r31 i got a can of black heat paint off a mate and went nuts on everything, before that i just had the rocker cover painted in a bright blue, left that as is and the rest went black, things like the power steering resivor and the wiper motor, i had blue leads aswell... looked good.... IMO... the rb25 has a dark blue block, head and rocker covers, all the rest i've painted in a rough finish bronze (for lack of a better work), you can get a huge range of heat paint colours now... i say go nuts....

NismoR31Jet Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 The reason Kels Battery is on the right is, with the cooler piping it would not fit on the left side of the engine bay, and as we have 2 kids (1 is 4 months old) we need all the boot space we can get.
