Other Comments: Purchased this car off another forum member a couple of years ago. He bought it off the original owner who was an old lady who had a stroke and wasn't able to drive anymore. He purchased it off her as an unregistered vehicle and was planning on fixing it up and re-registering it. He ran out of time/interest so I bought it off him. When I bought it the car had only done 132,xxx Genuine KMS and drove very nicely. There were a few things wrong which I replaced before I got the car registered.

I installed near new Pedders Sports Ryder Suspension with lowered springs which are in excellent condition. I changed basically every bush under the car with Nolathane bushes. When installing the extractors a lot of the exhaust studs were stuffed so i replaced them all with genuine Nissan ones. The car has new door locks and ignition barrel as some punk tried to steal it from my court and damaged the original ones.

The car comes with an Apline 121IE CD/MP3/USB/AUX head unit. Pioneer 6" front coaxial speakers and Alpine Type J 6.5" coaxial speakers in the rear shelf. Car has 195/50R15 Bridgestone Adrenalins RE001s with RWC tread.

The Bad: Car has the usual rust in the guards where most r31's get them. Have had a look behind the guards and the rust is only on the guard and not on the chassis itself. The rust isn't too bad. The paint on the roof is faded, also another common problem on r31's. The steering rack has a bad leak so that problem has to be attended to ASAP. I'm not driving the car atm so its not getting any worse but its not something that can be topped up and left till later. I have got a second had power steering pump that will come with the car as well. Car got backed into by the bin truck and he hit both drivers side doors so I have replaced them with new doors off a series 3 silhouette so the moldings are grey not black. Rear bumper has seen better days. got a few dings in it but that can easily be replaced by any bumper off a series 1/2 silhouette as they are all the same style/colour. Drive train is a bit clunky but if you adjust your driving style you can drive fine without any clunking. Few dents and scratches on the body itself but mostly in good condition. Odometer needs to be replaced. Fuel cap is having issues opening.

The Good: The motor is very strong and healthy having only done 150,xxx kms it is only just run in by RB30E standards. Gear box is also in excellent condition. Shifts smoothly without any crunches. interior is in good condition. a few stains here and there but everything is neat. The factory LSD is in good condition and still spins both wheels as it should. This car has been my daily since April 2012 and I have driven it with respect and not thrashed it.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
