Hey guys.

this is my 1987 Nissan skyline R31 wagon I brought yesterday, it has a N/A RB30 with a FACTORY 5speed manual AND LSD.

the car has 170xxx on the clock and is 100% bone stock.

I have big plans for this car some of which include:

r34 interior

rb25/26 head conversion

hydrolic rear breaks

completely overhaul the motor, box and throw in a better diff and stonger rear axles

lower 2.5-3 inches all round (coilovers most likely)

bigger breaks

full exhaust

bbs wheels or something of that sort

full cage

strip some interor

improve audio system

tint

improve all steering and suspension

longer gear ratios shorter differential gears

stronger clutch

and the list goes on.

oh and my favorite,

the new plates,

GTR-AHA

I'm super happy with the car and I'll have more photos and updates really really soon :')))

Saw this Wagon on Gumtree or Ebay or R31 Club??? Not sure which.

SkyWagons are the Schnitzel !!! :D

R34 interior sounds interesting. (I put a 34 steering wheel in mine)

Rear suspension is different to the sedans / coupes (separate shocks and springs setup) so fitting Coilovers will require some mad Fabrications.

I just chucked some low King Springs and new shocks in and some cheap second hand Rims.

(many other small things done too like bushes etc...) It's an ongoing mission.

Enjoy it. IT being the money pit.

totally agree, I love R31 Stageas.

good luck with your plans

Funny you should say that. Mine has a StageA cargo net, center floor mat and Unicorn Sticker. :D

More pics for inspiration...

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
