Intro from an R31 fan

Hello all,

I've had my fair share of the R31 bug for a long time now. I started out with an 89 executive, bought another 89 and ended up with an 86 Silhouette project car.

I've had plenty of good times with the old R31's and many headaches from 365,000+ Ks on the old daily. I finally parted with my first 89 a few years ago now because I needed the time to work on my project car. I probably spent too much time and money on the 89 but it was a pretty nice car when I was done.

Times have changed a bit now and I don't have the time to spend on the Silhouette. I joined up today so that I could post my Silhouette up for sale in the forums in the hopes that someone else wants to take it on.

I hope you find some enjoyment in the photos of the old daily.

 

Thanks,

James

Yeah that's right. That's my old daily, the executive. I'm selling off the Silhouette. I haven't tried the R31 club, thanks for the suggestion.

Ah righto haha. I don't know why people insist on posting random pictures with their posts, this isn't "pic for attention" Facebook. :P

I still have my GXE, I should register it.

Yeah I'm keeping the Silhouette now. Had a bit of a change in the current circumstances so it's back on now. If it was anything but a Silhouette I'd be happy to help but I wanna hang on to all the parts as they are pretty hard to come by. Apart from the rear bumper mine's in great condition. Only missing the factory cassette player and headphones (and a running engine)

I'll probably give the RB26 conversion a miss and keep it stock. Just have to find a place with some good prices on stock internals. There's a couple of mobs around here but I've never bought off them. Just had head work done a few times. From what I've found a crate engines about $5k so I'm hoping to get the parts for it under that

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
