hahhaha @ 33 owner saying there are thousands like it around, talk about ironic.

Now now, let's not crack that 'ol nut again. I drive an R33, yes, there certainly are a fair few around nowdays but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Excels, Falcons, Commodores and most other commercially sold cars in Australia, there are lots of. This includes the R31 skyline. Although like you say Tom, there probably isn't many with RB25's. However, logically speaking there's gotta be more 31's than 33's around in general. I highly doubt that the number of 33's on our roads, particularly here in WA are in the thousands but i'd say it's a safe bet that there are thousands of R31's. INASNT also made no reference to performance or specs and merely commented that there are R31's that look like yours around.

I personally like this thread cause it certainly highlights some of the "do's" and "don't do's" to all skyline models but ultimately it's your own opinion as to which you think is an utter shitter and which is da bomb.

Peace! :hippy: Dave

there is an r33 identical to the one, around the corner from me, except it is burgundy, same hubcaps and all. must be rb20e urban runners. looks so bad, im suprised they dont have grey bumpers to go with the hubcaps.

mmm this 32 gtr

THat car now happily resides with one of the fang artists, who comes on here as RedR32 (Should be renamed to PurpleR32 soon)

yep we found the winner for shittest skyline.... :rolleyes: thanks tom, it was gonna be close but you really blew the rest of them away.... :D lol

as for the hottest....

this one is pretty fkin nice....

that's the blitz high speed R34, got up to 343km/hr on last count.

I was mainly laughing at ur comments of game over really you must be kidding right?

Dood i don't think he was being full on serious about it. We all love our cars in that special way regardless of what they are. It's like having a gf man, you think she's the most beautiful thing in the world..... but sometimes when ur walking down at scarborough beach at lunch time on a 40 degree day in the middle of summer and look around at some of the talent, you might rethink some of those thoughts! hahaha :P

Either way, Tom's R31 is without a doubt one of the finest around, the photo far from justifys it. If he thinks it's the greatest - then so be. We are all entitled to our opinions.... Whether it be Whales or Fridges that you love... at least we have the R32 to save us. :P hahaha!!!

Anyways guys im getting back into my work before i drift away and fall asleep on my breast.. er *cough* i mean desk. :(

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
