yeah, the 34 is a bit of a soft car next to a 31. I will be giving my GTR to my grandma to tootle around in once I get accustomed to the power of the 31.

So since mine is only the GTT I guess I should drop it off at a donations bin then, not even my grandma would lift an eye for it.

:confused:

hahaha, mark is a bit touchy as it didn't quite go to plan today...

B-man you are right on track mate. the 32 is already quite a step up from the 33. a nice 31 four door will be another quantam leap over the 32.

After reading this thread, I think I have been converted. Fatz, I've seen you drift at Oran, and it's crazy what your r31 can do.

I've always wanted to take the 33 out, but too worried about crashing/denting/breaking it. I guess this is the same as you beer baron?

Just a few questions though. I've looked over on carsales, and it seems that a 5speed 31 with the 3 L motor is about 2.5k. Is this about right?

How come all you guys get them for like 1K? Let us in on the secret to cheap r31s.hehehe.

2 things will get you a cheap 31.

1. you need to be in the right place at the right time.

2. it will be a heap of shit.

$2.5K for a manual 31 is alright as long is it's:

1. got rego

2. not f**ked

3. not previously owned by Fatz, Mark, me or anyone that they know.

4. can rip a burnout (test this before you buy).

happy motoring. I will probably sell my 31 soon as I want to buy another car. but unfortunately I've already started spending money on it. also, just be aware that $2.5K might not get you are car that is identical to Fatz's... it might miss out on a few of the bits he has like: being a coupe, have an RB26, having a big single, GTR brakes etc etc...

31 will not let you down though. plus the 4 doors are a thinking mans skyline. pure class.

the ones we buy for cheep are $hitboxes

i originally paid $5,100 for my silhouette. it was MINT, with 136,000 on the clock.

i thrashed it at skidpans, at oran park, at wakefield, everywhere. and it just asked for more. best part of the rb30 is you cannot break it.

i say buy one if you wanna have fun without worrying bout hurting a really special car.

Oh yeah, I know for sure it'll be an absolute 5hitbox . I just don't wanna hurt my car on the track, so I wanna buy a paddock basher.

Fatz/Mark... show me the way. hahahhaa

Fellars, I'm not expecting much from the 31, but does it actually have enough power to rip a burnout?

I think most working men have 2 doors (they are called utes!)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
