Hey guys,

Had this up on Gumtree locally with no luck, figured this would be a better place to find a sale.

Bought this A31 last year as a daily, drove it for about 7 months with no issues. Around January slid it into a guardrail in the wet at about 20km/h, resulting in the damage. Car is mechanically fine, drove it 50km home easily.

Pros:


RB20E baby motor; Timing belt, water pump and major service done prior to sale.

Manual converstion done with R32 Gearbox, Extreme heavy duty clutch

R32 Radiator

Coilovers (believed to be JIC or Kei Office)

Front Strut brace

Complete stock interior in good condition, black cabin and boot carpet

16x7.5 fronts, 16x8 rears, +30ish offset. Unsure of brand. Near new front tires, rears have some camber wear.

Cons:

Damage to LHS, needs new headlight, guard, corner lamp, possibly bonnet (current one can be repaired). Corner of the frame might need some panel beating, but geometry is straight. Have stock front bar to go with the car as well.

Stock rear bumper fitted but needs repainting. Have high quality aerosol paint from painting the Autech front bar that came on the car.
R180 open diff
Speedo gauge doesn't work (swapped clusters to a manual one, so just the cable not hooked up properly)

Basically stock aside from above mentioned parts

Will come with a pair of Autech fibreglass F/R bars, both with some damage, could be used as drift bars though.

Overall the car has potential to be repaired and continued to use as a daily, or drop in a DET motor, LSD and use it for drift. Need to buy a more practical daily, hence why selling as is and not repairing myself.

Looking for $3,500 ono, cash only no swaps. May separate complete interior if whole car has no interest as is.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
