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!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
