Yeah, they can look really nice done up and a certain toughness that is lacking in the latter models - and the coupe is a different beast to the aussie sedan that is for sure.

Love to have one, one day as maybe a 2nd car.. but at the moment I'll have to settle for a black r32 and my rather worn aussie R31..

Agreed they are much 'softer' in character than the DR30's,but I don't know about "just a family car" (Predator) :D

haha, just think they can easily be confused with the aussie cars even though they are quite different throughout.. the "non-educated" motoring population wouldn't know the difference between an imported HR31, and local R31 to be honest. Anyhow, just stirring really ;)

Well I voted it a GT. Thats my opinion of the cooking variety JDM R31.

I have the GTS-R though which is completely different to the normal GTS-X.

What makes it completely different apart from cosmetic ( exterior & interior ) differences, apart from the rb20det-r?

I voted GT.

You could have a point there! Especially like a white one-they don't stick out much.

Adam-I know for sure the '31s engine is softer! hehe :P

Lambo's, Ferrari's and Porches are often between 1400kg and 1700kg and they are definitely sports cars. The 350z track is definitely a sports car and it weighs in at ~1450kg.

I think the GTS-R is lighter than that.

I would class an RS500 escort/sierra as a sports car. They were total animals and were uninsurable in the UK.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
