oh crap I should have read the title...anyway I can't be bothered going to the DR30 one at the moment. I asked the wife and my sister and they both said that the DR was a muscle car...I think the HR is softer myself...whether its a GT or not I don't know...never thought about it, only know they have an rb20 in 'em (don't they?).

I reckon they're a GT, but I can't vote now cause I voted muscle car cause I never read it and I'm a dumb arse! :P

definately GT due to the weight. The gts-r looks aggressive and all but is heavy due to the HICAS 4 wheel steering system. I absolutely love HR30 rs-x's also. The power to weight ratio is amazing. Matt's car is the bomb!!!!!!!! you can make the 4dr versions of the r31 as aggressive as the hr31's. In a few months, mine will be a mechanical testiment hopefully

there are hr31 gts 4doors too:)

The HR is pretty weak to start with...takes a bit of work to make it as fun to drive as the dr but much prefer the rb over the fj personally, but would take a good dr30 over the hr31.

Answer, none of the above.

there are hr31 gts 4doors too:)

I was wondering how long it would take before someone piped up with that comment.

Gimme a Passage over a coupe any day.

Coupes just aren't pimp enough.

I would say GT from the poll, but in actuality, Sporting Sedan (yeah, IMO the coupe can be called a sedan anyway, 2 door sedan) would be my description.

The GTS-R is a homologation special.

Ive owned an ausie R31 and have a HR31 GTS-X....stock the HR are fairly weak but get some mods happening and they are an angry engine....Im going with Muscle Car....just cous for the curves on the car are so aggressive compared to later skyrines - thats my personal thoughts

After having driven my brothers mate's HR31 i do not rate them!! They are a B O A T!!!

I definatly feel that they are more of a GT style of car then a sports car, kinda like how the later skylines i feel are classed.......Long range cruisers more then sprts cars

hell yeah! im gonna do that to mine when i get it, whether a passage or a local- dark, low, sweet sweet rims. mmm. if i wanted a coupe id getta r33 or something. which i would still prefer a four door variant...

Yeah.. I admit I love both the HR31's .. but to be honest, if it came down to a choice between R32 or R33 and HR31, I'd take the R32 all the time.

I have a Passage and R32, and they both have silvertops...the Passage is over 200kg heavier than the 32, and there is a big difference in the handling - it is nowhere near as nimble or point and shoot. The R32 feels like a sports car when you sit in it, and drive it - whereas the HR31's have a pretty different feel.

The Passage is very cool in it's own right, but more of a cruiser for the streets, not the track or the mountains. Might have good potential for drift though.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
