R31 Skyline / Pintara...

[htial]

Just wondering how different the R31 Skylines and R31 Pintaras are...

Is it just in the name and tail lights... ...or are the differences greater than that???...

[Iron Chef]

Pintaras were 4 cylinder (CA20E single cam from memory? Someone correct me if I'm wrong), Skylines were 6 cylinder (RB30E obviously). That was their big difference

Lots of differences, but largely the above, plus the diff is different (smaller axles), trim levels are different, instruments are different...and so on.

Kewl... ...Thanks for that... ...If that is the only difference then it isn't going to matter which one I get as I've got a different motor to go in...

And when it is debadged and cleaned up... ...I'm hoping there isn't any difference...

Ahh... ...The diff and axles is good to know... ...If I go the Pintara route this might need to be swapped out for something stronger...

Trim and instruments are just cosmetic and most likely also going to be removed / replaced / turned into a new computer chair...

Not what I was thinking but still good to know... ...Gives me an idea of how big I can go... ...or how much space I'll have left...

Easier to start with the R31 Skyline base, not the Pintara.

They are about the same price if your just buying shells etc

Maybe that was about a U12 Pintara??.... The R31 Pinni can be done easy enough i think

Search that for what ur looking for

Like Ash said... Start with a skyline, will be much cheaper for u in the long run rather than buying a pinni and putting skyline stuff in it.
