all that changing of parts might aswell buy a skyline

Why? Pinnies are cheap as chips....

Pinnys are good for owners of modded R31's to reshell with.... ie. me.

If they get defected.... ie me

if they get written off because they're track cars ie. me.

and what you mean "might as well buy a skyline?" a R31 IS a skyline!

(Albiet a old, boxy looking thing that rusts and usually has more kilometres than a model t ford)

lol, na went home and got the skyline. took some timing out of the power fc.

Put your injectors in and tune it! Make some real grunt brudda!

I wanna see 250 at the treadlies.....

We both know it's well capable.

Oh, I got home, opened my speeding fine, went out to work on the 31, decided it was too hot, and went back inside in front of the aircon where Ive been sitting on the couch drinking beers all arvo LOL.

not saying theyre bad but i m saying if u have to buy all them parts to change it to one sometimes why bother yes its good in ur sitcho but its not the same 4 all

sorry, that was meant to be a tounge in cheek reply LOL...

Skyline parts are cheap as chips anyways, and most people who buy a 31 end up dropping a 20/25/26 or a 30DET anyways, changing sus/brakes to aftermarket or S13 aftermarket, so why now use the cheapest shell you can?

oh, and also almost ALL pintara's are under $1K (most are around $300 - $500), and even a decent S2 Skyline is still fetching $3K. a Decent S3 GXE like mine is good for $5-$6k.... Ti's even more, then when you start getting into the SVD's/Imports, the price goes up over $10K....

so yeah, grab a $500 pinny, and use the $4500 difference to make it stomp the shit out of a skyline LOL.

Oh, and ryan - :( WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's gonna be off the chizain fo shizzle. or something like that.

Just got a clean xf s-pack auto, 4.1 efi with 230,000 im the 3rd owner and its always been parked under a car port only paid $1200 :( its a daily and tow car but already im looking for 17inch AU XR8 mags and putting my 2x12inch subs in and dropping her 1.5 inch all way around.

but each to their own ben! im sure your 20 will do exactly what you want it to do once finished.

Yep. Skids. Big ones. And lots of em. And continually be thrashed like a $2 hanson road special.

And when she breaks, RB25DE goes in.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
