So i do have a GTS-X!! I heard a couple of things and thought that i didn't but after reading this thread i'm certain my car is a GTS-X as it has the split fold rear seat and also explains why i rarely see a 2 door R31 with a carpeted boot like mine.

Well, the obvious electric front seat in the GTS-X you all know.

Here's the stuff you might not know about the '86 R31...

Also got another Question Rez...

i've seen heaps of bits all over the net that saw the GTS-X didn't start until 87-88.

And that co-insided with the release of the ECCS engines?

can you confirm this... and that NICS only come in GTS/GTS twin cam turbo ??

cheers...

Nics also had the GTS-X Ash, but I have a question for REZ, could he find out what size injectors do the NICS & ECCS redtop have as standard I was always thought they were 255cc but have seen statements that they are only 200 but after inquiring to some bussines they have told me they are actualy bigger than the ones in VL turbo which run the RB30ET which are only 220cc

RB30ET are actually 250CC, RB30E are 200CC

When were R31 GTS models released. i thought i remembered reading somewhere after the GT Passage (about 1995 or something?) with the NICS engine.

I have a RB20E AT FWD ECU (1984 printed on it) here i think it must be from a Passage? It looks very much like a RB30E ECCS ECU though

According to the Japanese Domestic Car Bible, all *Series 1* variants of the HR31 GTS and GTS-X started in May 1986 bar the NISMO, which was Febuary 1987.

As for the NICS and ECCS, I'm at work, so I'll get back to ya...

what changes were there to a series 2?

like the aussie r31 had series 2 to fix some stuff ups on the series 1 but there was no real changes otherwise.

aussie series 3 picked up the import series 3 bits apart from the mouldings and rear bumper which were still series 1 shape with the strip (front bumper has different side moulding to rest of the car! - dodgy nissan australia, south african r31s are like jap r31s with respect to this)

import series 1/3 are easy to pick with body differences (lights, grills, moulding, bumpers etc) but what else changed

Oi lads, when I've finally got some free time, I'm gonna compile a be-all and end-all file of the JDM HR31 Skyline. Some ones gotta do it. It might as well be an Aussie... I know theres alot of stuff about this already out there, but the figures do differ depending on the person/country/time of year etc.

All my stuff will be translated straight from Japanese, and I'll have it proof read at least twice to avoid fook ups...

Sound good? Or a waste of time?

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
