definitely! front bumper scrapes around corners but more importantly, it makes the corners!

just wish mine was manual (wonder how much an rb20 box costs.. ;o)

mansoor you dirty man. auto R31 is the devils creation. just sell it an buy a manual. they are all so cheap anyway.

at 200,000kms they are just nicely run in! engine condition of an RB30 is the least of the worries! :( lol

hahaha.. well i dont want it to die on me. i want it to serve me well as i thrash the absolute shit out of it.

it pretty much did a face plant on a big bump the other day - hardly a dent!

it sooo needs a locked diff or lsd tho

i think it's been too long since you drove your GTR :(

hehe

dirt > tarmac ;p

fairy muff. I still say just flog it and get a sillo. they come in manual and come with LSD too (though often stuffed).

i'd get one but they cost a bit more than a 31

the thing that makes the 31 fun is that i dont care if i spin out and hit a tree on the side of the road lol. and i've had close calls before lol. :(

man, sillo is a 31! my sillo cost me a thousand bux. 5 speed, with 2 sets of rims (inc the gen sillo alloys), good condition LSD but stuffed everything else. oh it had the dual swaybar mod too. the best bit is I drove it into the ground then sold it for $1500 bux (with a flat battery, and flat tyre and a misfire!). noice.

but I agree the best part is not caring if you bin it. hell mine broke down so I left it parked on the side of a main road for 2 weeks till I could be eff'd picking it up. I just put a note on the windcreen that read: "Not abandoned, just f**ked!".

oh silhouette....... i thought u meant a silvia... haha

that was a good buy then. my one was 900 and was just a plain auto Ti

:O leave my muff out of this.....

sorry ma'am. :D

yeah, the thousand seemed like good value once it was sold, but not such good value when it was lying stuffed by the side of the road... lol.

lol, I knew that vid would be right up your alley. i even had my girlfriend film it. it actually sounds alright for a busted arse 31 and smoked 'em nicely through first and a good part of second. love it. best thousand bux a man could spend besides hookers and cocaine.

sorry brave, you're about 3 years too late :laugh: pete had a red wagon a few years ago. from memory it was SR20 turbo power...

and trust33, forget the shims, when we say R31 locked diff, we mean welded diff. get the mig out, crank up the power and away you go. :laugh:

(unless you are talking about any car other than a R31. if that's the case do not weld your diff!)

Dam, I'd love to see some footage of that if anyone has some. Did it handle well? What suspension did they use? Ours is bog stock RB30, 5 speed, 204,000 genuine old man log book included kms. Original tape deck, air cond, spotless interior (and i mean spotless). The car was from Dubbo (Dubbo Nissan sticker on the back) and i cant find a single bubble of rust its a cracker!

I'll post a pic or 2 of the beast if ya want! Go the wagon!!!!!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
