Hi all, long time member, very occasional poster, and now first-time R31 turbo owner as of Friday. Thought I'd say hello, after seeing another R31 GTS with a FMIC at Outer Harbour this afternoon; anyone here? It had an SAU sticker on it.

The car's fairly stock, just a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo back, and an extreme clutch. Engine is a newer R32 silvertop RB20DET...not a rocket but it was quite enough power with today's weather. The back wheels will be getting changed to match the front rims tomorrow, they had locknuts on them which I couldn't get off until this morning. Here's a few photos of the car, went for a drive up to Lobethal today, up Gorge Road and back through Norton Summit. Love those roads. Hopefully I can make it to the next cruise. :D

Thanks, that's the plan in the near future once I get some more money! Any idea how much I'd be looking at for one?

I have had a couple of different ones on my ausline 31. Ya looking from 150 - 350, depending on what ya want, i can get hold of a couple of differnt sorts. Hit me up if ya want some more info,

Hey nice car, love 31 coupes.

Checked out the 31 club forums? Good place to start for stuff like front lips and fmic etc

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
