Hello all! A year ago have bought Nissan Skyline.

YEAR - 1981(1980???)

MODEL - HGC211 L20e

BODY - coupe

COLOUR - dark brown

Real date of manufacturing is a question for me(on seatbelts label written 1980, in car documents 1981). Sorry for my english, i'm from Russia, wery middle of Asia.

Hi Kev, hope you get some pics up of this super clean machine. Was mighty impressed with your car and believe me eveyone into the classics will enjoy seeing the clean, green,pritsine machine. Big thumbs up one this one. After you left I was thinking i should've taken a snap or 20. Anyway hope you 'll do it and tell some back ground info. Cheers Rick. My mates looking into the cooktops. Speak soon.

post-61234-1238311148_thumb.jpg Old Lady she is called yes r31 Pintara but genuine 100 000 km when I bought her in December 08,

A one owner car that never left the Wide Bay here I checked with their mechanic on its history.

in 2006 first timing belt at 98 000 km car still like new and a good ride and auto box still tight very well serviced car.

In December 08 took her on her first trip to the big smoke Brisbane on the trip down and back we averaged about 34 mpg.

I have all ways like the shape maybe as I am a little old and a square some say is the reason I like the cube on wheels.

Just a great car all round maybe no 6 cyl but she can shake her tail.

Have fitted 2in Exhaust, Sports Muffler, Sports Catalytic Converter when I picked her up this made her come alive.

Should have a strut brace Monday nearly a new one for $100 from a very dead r31

Leave wheels as they are tyres good and if you lower your car out here you hit rubbish and wild life on the open road

Bought my first Skyline on Saturday night. Ive owned a couple of Nissan Stageas, one a 260RS, so its a lil step backwards for me in a way.

It is a 1988 R31 Skyline, RB30E, 5 speed. Interior is pretty well like new. Starts great unless its a cold morning, in which case it needs a bit of cranking over... (any ideas?). Shifts well. No clunks etc, clutch is surprisingly good. Great mechanically, makes good power. Body is straight as tho the roof is faded, and it had a white bonnet which i have now primed and hit with satin black til the whole car is resprayed silver.

So far i have - Fitted a short shifter, done a full service (all fluids and filters, new plugs, leads), bought new front and rear rotors and calipers, new king springs and new shocks, all waiting for me to fit them over a few nights this week.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
