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.

can ya do one at day time??

yeah, we hired steven spielberg to direct. the cinematographers were flown in from hollywood and the scene was shot on set at fox studios... be sure to look out for the sequel. :rofl:

cheeky bastard

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!)

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
