Hi

I have been looking at getting a HR31 GTS X, and have recently found one that I like..

They are reasonably old, this one in particular is a 1986 model.

I was just wondering what peoples perspectives are on the HR31.

Are they too old?

Are parts hard to find in terms of suspension, exhausts, interior bits?

Is it worth just spending that little extra and just getting a R32 GTS-T?

Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Do you want a CLASSIC or just another Skyline is what you should be asking yourself?

If Classic is the answer you have no choice except for which HR31 you get, but if it's just another Skyline, well the skies the limit in R32's. It has been said that an RB25DET in an R32 is the ultimate Skyline.

How old is old?? My KHR30 is over 20 years old and still without cancer, so age shall not weary a good one.

And red tops suk, they have a problem over 5000 but some of the R31 people can elaborate more on that.

Cheers, D

have you ever driven one???

i have driven R30, R31, (including the HR31) and R32....

the R32 was so easy and loved the corners,

the R30 was similar, just not as much power, but very well balanced, absolute shitloads of potential

and the R31.... mate these things are a boat... it was like driving a massive falcon or something... now even with a turbo R31 they are good in a straight line, but are actually difficult to corner predictably/in total control.

just find one and drive it, if its what your after great! but i know what i would get if i had the cash....R32 with RB25det fo shizzle

i ended up with a kik arse RM30 as it was $400 and i couldnt pass it up...

personalyl if i were to go from the start again .. sadly i woudlnt get a HR31 coupe like i did 4 years ago....... but wit hthat said.. with some TLC .. and some money thrown here and there..... HR31s are quiet a good car.

HICAS disabled and some better suspension.... its worlds apart from stock.

hence ive still got mine.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
