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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
