hi gang...

im new to SAU, yes i live in NSW but im that close to the border i still class myself as a Queenslander. i scored myself a R31 for free and im looking forward to doing her up and getting it on the road. my nephew gave it to me and its going to be my early midlife crisis car lol.

heres a run down on the car.

R31 GT passage RB20ET

garrett T28 "disco potato" turbo

problems:

control arms bushes need replacing

coil overs in the rear need looking at

theres a oil leak somewhere

in my nephews words "turbo seems to spike sometimes" (turbo to big maybe??)

crack in the "tyre well" that you can see through

sometimes when your driving to get the auto tranny to change gears ya gotta take ya foot of the gogo pedel.

only thing that really has me worried is that crack, once i find my camera charger ill get some pics up

    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice). 
    • nice to see a proper resto, instead of the usual half arsed attempts where the owners wont even replace crappy floor mats
    • Aw man, I was in Belgium earlier this month in Brussels and Bruges. Would've been awesome to see a Skyline all the way over there! I did load up on Tintin merch though  Welcome!
