If you can afford it, yeh go drift, i'm sure it would be a hell of a lot of fun... I'd love to race cars, or drift in events but cant afford it.

When im earning better wages in a few years i might be able to... I am only a P plater, & an exceptional one at that! hahah.

how about doing all that and actually making it handle.. driving like a machine on the track instead :wave:

Drift is overrated..

p.s. there are stack of HR31 that drif.. go to any drift day and you'll see a few out there.

im confused. let me get this straight, you just purchased a nice ride. now you are thinking of respraying it and also turn it into a drift mobile. I think someone saw the jap spec orange r31 that was on one of the car magazines and wants to imitate. Although, if you have that kind of money to spend, by all means go for it.

The car they're talking about is the R31 House HR31 that came over from Japan for the drift nats.

Last year BOWZER participated in the drift nats, as well as a few other 31's.

Pics from last years drift nats

now everyone is building a "drift" car, full respray, vetrex body kit, deep dish wheel.

But how many people really able to afford drift a car like that?

a small error will cost u the bodykit or a wheel. U can see MANY example that people give up drifting their car after build up, then what's the reason of building one?

:werd:

As the title says, im wondering about what to do with the HR31. My first point is that there aren't that many HR31 GTS's on the road, my counter to that is that there aren't too many GTS's drifting,

Please guys tell mw what you think I should do

Your input would be helpful

Ok let me get this straight...From the couple of topics you've put up here, your 13 and its your dad's car yeah?? So why are you asking us what YOU should do with your dad's car?!?!?!?!?!? Im sorry but doesn't make sense to me hey

As for what i rekon your DAD should do with it, he should just leave it as it is, maybe oriantate it slightly towards track work but i wouldn't be touching it....

I read somewhere that drift is becoming the new "rice"...Im agreeing more and more every day

Right Boof, firstly my dad doesn't have time to go on the internet, so I do it for him, if you want to right stupid comments to a 13 year old, by all means go ahead, im just hear for POSITIVE comments, and constructive critism, and since when has drifting become the new rice, about 3 months ago it was huge, to my belief

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
