hi there guys and girls , im new to the site but not new to the R31 as i have owned mine for 7yrs or so now , its not in th best shape but its rd worthy and just needs some TLC and $$ thrown at it ... A work in progress you might say lmao

INFO:

89 Series 3 Sillo Sedan

5 spd manual

Mini spool in the diff 3.89 ratio gearset

Lowered KING SPRINGS front and rear

15" mags from a nissan silvia which bolted on no worries as i was sick of the ugly lookin stndrd skyline wheels lol

Pod filter and modified induction system with extractors and a full 3" mandrel bent mild steel exhaust with highflow cat and cannon in the rear , mot a muffler of hotdog insite and the growl is quite prominent lol

15.79 is the ET at the drags on a 500k+ motor thats not too bad i guess with 2 gears of wheel spin

Looking at putting in a turbo N/A motor that i am collecting the parts for as we speak , so far i have the to4e turbo , highmount stainless manifold , 50mm wastegate and a haltech E6X EMS , need to get the injectors/fmic/head gasket and the various hoses and fittings to do the job , i have a spare motor that i am going to put the bits and pieces on b4 i swap it into the car , hoping to get 750cc injectors and run 14lb boost and i would like a modest 300hp at the rear wheels which shoud make for 13sec ET at the drags ....

anyhow here is the link to my car if you wanna have a look , as i said shes not too pretty and the paint has been through the wars but rome wasnt built in a day :D

nice,

dont ever paint it.

an awesome sleeper!!

first off id like to say welocme to SAU qld ;-)

mud is right i think after ya done the mods you will have a nice lil sleeper but i think you might be selling ya self a bit short when ya said 300hp , im runnin somthin very simler to you in my r33 . i got t04e on modifide hiflow manifold , 750cc injecters and running 35mm external gate thats been plumed right back to the bend ( for better flow ) and with a good tune and my safc2 dialed in right i got 400 rwhp

neway good luck with it

cheers ...... ;-)

mud to be honest i wasnt going to paint it anything flash , just rub back the clear coat and redo that and straighten panels and just get it looking as "normal" as i could so yeah the thought for sleepa is there as i dont wanna advertise to the boys in blue that i have something fun to drive ya know lol

quick33 i might be selling myself short but im also looking at the fact i have an N/A motor and dont wanna wring its neck just yet , if i get a bigger power rating than i'm quoting that would be awesome , the kit i have is a no brand setup not a garret or anything like that but hell when its finished i know it will be a hell of a ride specially with a locked diff and the rain we get here hmmm , i dont thinkill drive it in the wet as ill loose the little bit of plastic in my wallet for sure as im a wet drifter at heart lmao , im from darwin and we had wet or dry conditions so the learning was there for wet drifting , it was a good place to start as i have never driven anything with power besides he V8 holden when i was 17 hehe

anyways guys thanks for the welcome to the site and hope to talk to a few more of you again soon

cheers festa

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
