Not sure about the 4WS... The Japanese R31's came in 2-Door, 4-Door Hardtop, 4-Door sedan and Wagon. The 4-Door sedan (as sold in AU) was never as popular as the Passage (hardtop), especially the Twin Cam turbo models. The Sedan was the ugly duckling of the line up I guess :)

Heres a pic of a Japanese market 4-Door R31:

The series 1 passage didn't have 4WS, but all the coupes and S2 and S3 passages did have the 4WS.

I have a Passage 85 build date but complied as an 86 model. It's the first series and has HICAS 4WS.

I believe HICAS was an option with IRS models, but not available on live axle rear ends. I was wondering if IRS was available in the sedan, i'm not sure but someone here may know...

You see very few pics of the sedan variant on the web. Also, mostly they appaear to be the RB20E or DE, CA18S or diesel powered variant when you do see one....

Passage or Coupe - me rikey very much.... But as for the sedan, the aussie version is probably in this case better than the JDM one, strangely.

I believe the Sooth Effreekin version of the sedan runs an RB30E (on leaded fuel with no cat and a bit more power) and the IRS rear end.

Hmmmm yep... I'd say exactly the same thing about the N13 Pulsar... it seems the (later) Japanese version got better tail lights (al la Skyline) but the earlier models all got the crap front end ie: sqaure lights/indicators.

as far as i know.. all the JDM ones that I have seen that have the pillar, have been non-turbos or the povo-packs.

HICAS that slides the whole crossmember?! - that I would like to see.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
