I keep spotting this red R31 coupe on my street in Ngunnawal, was a nice looking ride but has hit something big time, front grill and bumper is missing and back left has been smashed to.

Anyone know this car?

I know the car

And to be honest, I'm not surprised that it's damaged..... Which is quite sad because it used to be the tidiest 31 I've ever seen

spotted a silver R34 GTT today, and also a very sexy black one could've been a GTR..

also a white R33 with CF bonnet and no rear wing on the parkway.

and Supafly yesterday!

that was more then likely me Shell, car was very dirty and there is a wing but its tiny (stealth)

p.s. the cat is now out of the bag CF...

Your not suprised? Whys that mark? Because you know Tom so well?

I know the car and the owner. I took some pics of it 2 hours before it came to its demise on a wet and hail soaked canberra road. It is a massive loss, as this was the finest R31 i've ever seen. In my opinion it isnt fixable (cost of new shell vs repair bill) but the owner is very keen to see it repaired.

In fact if you want to offer any help then a PM to myself would be awesome.

We seem to have a misunderstanding Stevie, I didn't mean that the way you think.

PM sent, maybe I can help

Saw a few Skylines out in Braddon last night, all of which Bluprint listed. One r32 was mine, didn't see you at all supadan.

That Cima is owned by Danny, he is part of CanberraCruises, the club thats listed in my signature. Such a nice car.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
