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.

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?

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
