Picked this up over the weekend.. a HR31 Passage GT. Don't see many of these around up here in QLD so its something different. It's going to need work as part's of it are rough around the edges, but for the most part its straight, pretty much all in tact, and goes ok for an rb20.

It's chasis number is in the 3000's and it's a late 1985, which I'm guessing makes it one of the first few every produced.

It's pretty much tricked out with most things (although some are now a little rooted) that you'd feel be pressed to find on many modern cars: stereo controls on the dash, old style climate control, elec mirrors, windows, cruise control, headlight squirter thingos, adjustable "soft, medium, hard" electronic suspension (unfortunately stuffed :(), and who knows what else I haven't discovered yet. Will be interesting to give the cruise control a try.. thats if it still works..

Horny interior, but it needs a general tidyup..

and I thought I was only after one project car :) We'll see how this one goes - only going to do things slowly on this one.

Thankfully the engine has been swapped over for a nice silvertop RB20DET and gearbox so there is some potential there for maybe a drifter, or just overall pimp cruiser.

Don't really need 3 cars.. so if anybody is after a nice clean and reliable aussie R31 for a daily let me know :(

Looks good Pred... I took a Passage for a "test drive" a few years back and while I was stunned at the level of interior trickery for an "old" car, I wasn't overly impressed with the NICS RB20DET...

With a fresh silver top in there, that thing would go like a champion...

Glad to see you've seen the light re sedans too :rofl:

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
