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!

    • What's on the front of their building?
    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
