G'day guys and thanks a million for the friendly welcoming, I'm sure I'm going to have a brilliant time on here!
Plans for the car are underway right now. Keeping it pretty Granny spec to be honest but plans and things I've purchased for it, thus far include:

  • White LED Parkers
  • Chrome Checker Plate Floor Mats
  • Cannon muffler with dumped tip (Less ricer looking)
  • Interior White LEDs under the foot-wells wired to a switch/battery
  • Pioneer Headunit/Cadence 6x9's & 6.5'' component speakers/500W Kenwood Amp/300W Kicker 12" Sub & 4 Gauge wiring kit.
  • White LED map/interior lights
  • White LED dash/odometer lights
  • Nite-Shades/Lightly tint tail-lights
  • Paint rear garnish and grill-bit in Gloss black
  • Add a K&N Re-usable filter
  • Add 8mm Eagle Ignition leads
  • Service with - Penrite HPR30 Oil, NGK Spark plugs, Bosch Fuel Filter & K&N Oil Filter
  • Cheap wheel covers for the time being / Looking to get 17'' 5 spokes of some sort down the track

And that's about it for now. Plan to give it a really good cut&polish and then go over it a couple times with a chipstick and turtlewax ice etc etc

Thanks a billion again for the friendly introductions guys, looking forward to having so much fun with this being my 8th car. ;)

Spent the arvo in the garage, removed and tinted my tail-lights with a bit of VHT Nite-Shades, and removed the rear garnish, gave it a thorough clean whilst the garnish was off and have sanded, primed and painted it in a nice black gloss. Tomorrow I'll get out and give it a few more coats, then sand it lightly and cut and polish it for that nice factory lookin' finish.
Also received parts in the mail today, was stoked!

Awesome have taken a look on Ebay, but no luck finding any as of yet, will keep a regular eye out though! Thanks for the idea, as small as they are, they will make a massive difference in the look for the car itself!

second thing I did after gts wing :)

How long ago did you purchase them? Either I'm a real tool and cannot find them, or their possibly no longer on Ebay?

I've searched under countless titles both including "R31" "Clear" "Side" "Indicators" "Nissan" "skyline" just to name a few combinations, but can't find anything as far as clear indicators go for R31's, only able to find R32 / R33 / R34 small bubble shaped side indicators >.>

Little help? :wacko:

oh my bad you need to search for BMW-E30-3-Series clear side indicator... they fit r31 rather than r31 indicators

I just had a quick look and there's some on e bay... don't pay over $50!

good luck :)

I hope these are the right ones, going off the general shape of them on the picture, I'm guessing they are? Would these here be a direct fit without and modification to the body needed?

Never mind. Found a pair of Clear indicators for the front bumper and a pair of clears for the sides. Thanks a million L33SH for putting us onto the BMW E30's, you've made my weekend a bit better!

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
