Now i don't want to get tied up and beaten, but is there any difference between the R31 Skyline, and it's brother the R31 PINTARA ? I know the Pintara runs a 4 cylinder, but are the crossmembers the same or are they completely different ? I'm thinking of getting a Pintara, because it's sitting around, and it's cheap to buy, but my plan is to drop in a RB30 and eventually turbo it, as a dual purpose machine set-up for street and for drift.

Any ideas ? Are they like a commowhore, and can interchange crossmembers ?

No, they are not the same. however the Skyline (read: Not VL) RB30 cross member just bolts up.

and, because the pintara came out with the CA20, you'll have to have the RB30 engineered, the trans tunnel is also a little tighter in places from what I've heard from some accounts (if you're aiming for a 25det gearbox) You'd be better off finding a cheap skyline.

A CA18DET drops straight in tho, and coz its a 1.8L wont need much in the way of engineering, a few of the R31 pinny lads I know go that way and dont have issues.

a mate had a pinny with a 25 box in it so the trans tunnel must be pretty close to the skyline. you would be better off getting a skyline if your just going to put in a rb30 anyway, there 2 on ebay for less than $500...

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
