This will be my rides thread for my sigma and r31.

Here is the R31. its a POS and i love it!. its been 2 days since i picked it up.








Engine is the main area of concern, as well as the brakes. The peddle is very spoungy and the lights on, so they might just not work soon tongue.gif. Also need to put the alternator and water pump belt back on. I flushed the radiator this afternoon, but still dirty dry.gif. The joys of owning R31's rolleyes.gif. Will take pics of sigma tommorrow.

In concern to the rear lights, it would seem one of your switch has bent connections, check them all, if they are broken, bent or damaged, replace them. As for the pedal, bleed the brakes once to remove all old brake fluid, work them as you normally would to run all of the air out of the lines, then re-bleed and fill them. If this hasn't solved your problem, look at your braking master cylinder, and then the brake lines themselves, as they might've split, burst, or likewise.

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 17 2009, 08:49 AM

lol no, no, no not the brake lights the brake warning light is on, plus the guy had no clue what he was doing, so its in need of a service. but for a bush basher... is it really worth it? naaa.... tongue.gif unless i buy the s*** biggrin.gif dry.gif

Thats what the previous owner said. MY ASS. I went for a quick drive and instantly found out that its not the gearbox but the clutch is making the noise. Did a quick search and its a case of a bad imput shaft bearing. Great dry.gif.

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 18 2009, 01:53 AM

Tis already got Pacemaker extractors and a 2.25in(unsure.gif) system, with one muffler, and i have a feeling that the cat is hollow tongue.gif. Im going to fit my cannnon onto it soon, make it sound alot better and it give it a deeper idle sound. As for lowering it, i would like to, but it already hits evertyhing! Spose it doesnt help that the suspension is original, and it handles like a boat. biggrin.gif Now i really should go do that fan belt...

Posted by: madset Aug 18 2009, 05:22 AM

my aunty used to have an r31 but then moved on to a r33 now shs got a blueburd sylphee or somthin like that
how could she gv up such a great car!!!!!

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Aug 18 2009, 05:46 AM

ewwww that's an ugly fart cannon, and considered rice over here... O_O

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 18 2009, 06:10 AM

lol im not worried about the ricer effect. the cars meant to be a joke lol. Should have seen the pulsar, my god. The cannon is also good for quietning it down a bit cause right now its pretty loud.
Still cannot do the fan belt. the clamps be screwed, gotta cut em off and put new ones on, but i dont have any new ones, so another day wasted, will put up pics of the garnish soonish.

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Aug 18 2009, 10:38 PM

definitely need to powerwash the engine bay bro

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Aug 19 2009, 03:32 AM

It's called a build thread foo, so his s*** don't get lost like mine did...

Posted by: Ben.H Aug 19 2009, 03:51 AM

Then see the mods about improving that thread and maybe having one post per car, that constantly gets updated, and have an index as such on the first post.

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 19 2009, 08:39 AM

lol Updating time! no pics, but i managed to get that bastard radiator out. I had to remove the fan which wasnt really neccisary but a bolt had seized pretty hard on the shroud. The water in the car is as expected, poo brown. tongue.gif
Today i also refitted the rear garnish back on, looks much better but S3 lights and S2 grill/chrome strip look bad sad.gif.
And another interesting fact is where the car is parked it really shows how much camber is has, ALOT

Edit: Oh and PPK i would love to clean the engine bay, but i really cannot . The guy, as i said before, has no idea about cars and mechanical so its rusty and the wiring is exposed and RB30's dont like water in the wrong places, but i will def hav a go at it. The exhaust side of the block is flooded with oil, so potential fire hazard there.

Posted by: FnF_Racer Aug 19 2009, 10:03 AM

Ben, also, Ghost can't post in there, as he isn't driving this car, but building it....
pPK and i are also modding it, but we can drive daily. wink.gif tongue.gif

nice car, but technical i know s***, so nice car.

Posted by: TheMacDrifter Aug 20 2009, 07:38 PM

powerwash the engine bay, lower it, put an overfender on it, clean it. then it will lookk great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Aug 20 2009, 10:13 PM

Posted by: IR_Persian95 Aug 20 2009, 11:05 PM

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 21 2009, 12:57 AM

ok im not going to modify it. Its a bush basher, as in a thing i thrash around in a paddock, its full of rust, my gearbox makes the nasiest noise and it has ricy neons. Not a show car!

Posted by: nittro7 Aug 21 2009, 12:59 AM

Posted by: THE GHOST Aug 21 2009, 01:13 AM

Its not going to be a show car, its not going to be a street car, my entire front end is rust ok, its everywhere! unstopable! and its really not worth it. Will post pics of the caked on oil and inside my cooling system looks like

Posted by: Ben.H Aug 21 2009, 09:44 PM

I've seen like one R33 GT-R and funnily enough there's 2 R34 GTS-Ts that are about 1/2 away from each other locally.

Posted by: carhartt Aug 31 2009, 09:52 AM

that's f**ked up, nonono anrgy driving isn't a good way, this beatiful r31 sad.gif

do you have some kinda governmental control that your breaks and lights work and so on?

Posted by: Modster91 Aug 31 2009, 10:08 AM

sad.gif What a plank
Fixable?

Posted by: .ecyrB Aug 31 2009, 10:17 AM

you got a litlle something.....


man that sucks. i mean, if you're going to wreck a car at least flip it or something. i mean really, a peice of wood? that must not feel good at all.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Aug 31 2009, 10:40 AM

peice of wood. ie a railway sleeper in my sump. I doubt its fixable, the car was running(obviously) when i hit the wood and its penitrated the sump very deep so most likely damage to the crankshaft. I feel like a f**king twat right now. Oh well.
I could put another engine in it but the entire front is f**ked and i dont kno if it stuffed my powersteering rack. I dont even kno where my front swaybar is anymore! My best bet is to buy another car, put the manual in if its auto, fix the kit and sell the car for a couple hundred bucks. I already have an offer from a guy on 31 club.

Carhartt: do not worry about the car, it wasnt a beautiful r31, it is actually quiet a bucket. As for the other part idk what you mean by governmental control. My brakes work fine.

Posted by: carhartt Aug 31 2009, 11:27 AM

in germany i don't know if there is any R31! We only have imported R32, R33, R34 and they are f**king expensive...

here in germany we need to go to a special service every 2 years, there is a guy who checks everything which is needed like breaks, lights, and so on. if you get a new bodykit or a new exhaust you need to go there, then the guy checks if everything is as the rules say

i ask, because if nobody cares how the engine looks, or if things were fixed by a professional mechanic, you can fix it with your knowledge and continue driving

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Aug 31 2009, 12:26 PM

only way i can redrive this car is to get a new engine.

Posted by: .ecyrB Aug 31 2009, 09:56 PM

today in technical drafting we did a "pimp my ride" thing where we sketched cars and then tomorrow we'll tune 'em. i chose a white r31 2 door, maybe i'll make it into a tribute.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Sep 1 2009, 01:39 AM

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Sep 2 2009, 07:14 PM

lol oil pans nor radiators are really all that hard to replace... and the AC? just cut the lince, vent the R12 to the atmosphere, and take it all out tongue.gif

you're probably going to need a new oil pickup tube, as well...

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Sep 2 2009, 07:16 PM

yes i kno. oil pick up i could prob make myself tongue.gif. yea im ripping out the entire air con system

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Sep 2 2009, 07:19 PM

you could probably make one, but make sure it has a screen on the end, and is the proper depth.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Sep 2 2009, 07:26 PM

if anything ill make it a tiny bit longer. and yeah RB's have a mesh bulb on them

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Sep 2 2009, 07:27 PM

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Sep 2 2009, 07:31 PM

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Sep 3 2009, 02:26 AM

so basically i have to take my front swaybar out, undo the engine mounts, jack up the engine, take of the sump and thats it tongue.gif dont know about my radiator and upper and lower support issue cause thats really farked down there. just gotta take out the rest of the air con.

Posted by: Wolf Oct 11 2009, 10:35 AM

and you said the car was still running after you ran the sleeper over? i had a camry wagon that i put over the top of a keep left sign, and tore pretty much all the plate that was under the driver's side right back to the back seats out. then 3 months later went through a log fence at 80/h and the car was still running. the front would never ever be straight again but the car ran lol.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 12 2009, 04:39 AM

na the radiator stopped the fan and broke the lip off the crank pulley, so that is what probably stopped the motor. After i had a good look with the sump off everything is fine and dandy. My dad helped me bash the front end out and we got the radiator to fit in and the front tension mount is back to... sorta normal. Im going out now to fit the swaybar. I'll putting the radiator back in after i get another engine mount. I broke one lifting the engine biggrin.gif

as it is atm


my new sump with pickup curtiousy of a vl commodore tongue.gif


bashed out front tension rod mount. Either way my steering is completely f**ked tongue.gif

Posted by: Jolteon Oct 16 2009, 02:30 PM

Okay, why didn't you keep this car for paddock-bashing, and use the R31 for your proper car?

Posted by: M.I.V. Design. Oct 16 2009, 04:55 PM

r31 is hot, thats why tongue.gif

looks good, but can't you go to a scrap yard and get an engine of a wrecked newer car?

ok, so, why dont you just repair the skyline and have that as your car aswell as the sigma, they are both awesome. dont just trash the skyline, it has potential tongue.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 17 2009, 11:50 AM

no it doesnt. lol trust me its completely full of rust and the maechanicals are completely hammered. Good thing is when i do buy another 31 i can use this one as a spare, even got a the body kit i always man!

Posted by: DMC-12 Oct 17 2009, 12:07 PM

hmm, yes. but dont trash it too much or it wont even be usefull for parts tongue.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 17 2009, 12:12 PM

true tongue.gif the kit is sorta smashed anyways. but fibre glass = pissy eays fix

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 18 2009, 12:25 AM

Update.

Skyline
got some water in it but it has a bad plug or something so its shaking like crazy which means i cannot fully bleed the cooling system or drive it yet.

Scorpion
'borrowed' my dirtys battery and moved the car outta the shed, possible to start working on it again.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 19 2009, 04:40 AM

Update.

Skyline
Gave in and beld the cooling system while one cyclinder wasnt firing. My pod filter was shaking around like crazy. laugh.gif As expected it went brown after the thermostat opened so another flush is due in say... a week? Also i went over the inside with the air compressor to get dust and glass out.


Looking fabulously s**t as usual biggrin.gif

Posted by: Angrybooger2 Oct 19 2009, 05:11 AM

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 19 2009, 10:44 AM

spoiler looks kinda cool.




Posted by: DMC-12 Oct 19 2009, 02:56 PM

maybe you should restore the car, or sell it to someone who would smile.gif Seems a pitty to let it die in the bush sad.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 19 2009, 03:00 PM

You have no idea how bad this thing is until you see it in person. I would run out of memory on the camera showing you the problems. Plus the front end damage and rust it can never be registered again. Believe it or not it will have a better life with me than anybody else that has owned it.

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Oct 19 2009, 08:15 PM

lol DMC doesn't get it tongue.gif

just because it's an UBER JDMTYTEY0 Skyline doesn't mean it should be saved at all costs wink.gif

Alex, once you get it running again, I demand dirt drift pics!

Posted by: Angrybooger2 Oct 19 2009, 08:37 PM

ha yeah man even in the interior pic you can see rust in the door jams and stuff haha!
but yeah drift pics please!

Posted by: DMC-12 Oct 19 2009, 09:45 PM

lol PPK doesnt get it tongue.gif

Being a classic car fan, its sad to see any old car that could be restored go to ruin. oh and yeah, I hate most drift cars and all that jdm bollocks. give me a nice stock skyline anyday, or even better, a classic ford smile.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Oct 20 2009, 03:14 AM

lol guys the car has been running for 2 days now.

No drift pics cause
1. no where to do it
2. open diff sucks and it WILL snap back
3. Did you see what happend last time i did drift?

Posted by: PurePontiacKid Oct 20 2009, 03:18 AM

Dude, it CAN'T be restored, or at least it would take way more effort to restore that one than use it for parts to use for another one...

And stop making excuses Alex, my Z has an open diff and it doesn't snap back on even just dusty roads wink.gif

Posted by: Helmasaur King Oct 20 2009, 03:19 AM

Well i have done this many times before and yes where the plastic touches the metal fitting it not so much melts it gets soft and gets mangled a bit. As for the rest of the system it just gets hard and brittle over time. Takes a far bashing to break it but once it does it does. That how i broke my last cannon sad.gif


Guys! as for boso pipe. No. Unfortunalty, I have no pipes or bends left anywhere!! I probably used them all when i had the pulsar. The pipes i used yesterday were just some random bits layig around which im pretty sure my parents need them for something. But dont worry, the real metal(stainless) cannon muffler is going on Monday.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 11 2009, 12:54 AM

btw those rims would look cool in a mk1 golf

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 16 2009, 12:50 AM

hmm. nothing much. Gave it a clean inside, removed the ECU to clean up all the rust flakes n s**t there. I need to make a cover to protect it for water now because the windsheild gutter has completly rusted through. I took off the left hand side chrome striping and gave it a clean. Atm i am trying to get my boot release to work again.

UPDATORZ TIEM

Well i was messing round with the interior and i noticed on the steering collum was a little led that is spose to iluminate the key hole and it was pushed it, so i took off the collum cover and then the plate thats bellow that. What did i find? a f**king mess of wires and boxes n s**t. What the hell was this? i soon found out it was the aftermarket keyless entry the owner had put in, oh but theres more! its also an alarm and an imobiliser. It was all disconnected so i f**ked around for a couple hours, removed and cleaned up the area as well as fixing the led.
Enjoy pics!

The mess that fell out




The s**t, dodgy and dangerous job he did at the wire joiners!!!!!



and this is after i removed and cleaned it up


And here are some shots of the layout. Its all messed up, cut, spliced cheap s**t.




Tommorrow ill take out the rear door wires.
I still cant get the boot to open.
I found out where the water pours in on both sides and its HUGE!
Under carpet has mould that could potentually kill me instantly if i was to breath it in!
Painted the airbox matte black
Still need to find a new home for the ECU. Its camping out in the passanger foot well
Alsomight try and fix the drivers seat adjustments. Moving the seat takes heaps of effort and it doesnt want to release very easily.

Oh and heres the little light. Its soo cool :3


Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 30 2009, 02:57 PM

Awesome. You're certainly making progress there. smile.gif

It's weird to think that a little while ago, you thought it was done for over a little, tiny thing. But you gave it some time and love, and now it's back on top. smile.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 30 2009, 02:58 PM

and i love u too mang tongue.gif wub.gif

Posted by: carhartt Dec 30 2009, 02:59 PM

i would not say that it's back on top, because it has never been oin top since some years tongue.gif but alex did a good job and spend indeed some love to get it running again smile.gif

Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 30 2009, 03:01 PM

Nothing has to be perfect to be great. It depends on how you value it yourself, not what other people say. Who cares if those other people are supposed to determine its worth. They can still be wrong. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 30 2009, 03:04 PM

come to think of it. ive only had it for less than 6 months and all the stuff i have done to it. It kind of bring a tear to my eye lol

Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 30 2009, 03:07 PM

Yeah. You haven't had it very long, you've gone through some rough spots, but you're helping it along the way. I bet you'd consider the car "lucky" to be with you instead of anyone else. tongue.gif

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 30 2009, 03:14 PM

very f**king lucky. It will die with me. And ill be the one to kill it biggrin.gif

Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 30 2009, 03:20 PM

Hahaha. tongue.gif You'd hate me if you knew what I think I just did.

Posted by: Alex (Ghost) Dec 30 2009, 03:53 PM

Posted by: .ecyrB Dec 30 2009, 03:54 PM

No, not even close. I'm totally agreeing with you. More than you know.

Posted by: carhartt Jan 4 2010, 01:59 PM

there is this red sand in the c**kpit (in the ventilation, on the desk, at the wheel), i asked because i wanted to know if you get dust blown into your face while driving, or if it is easy to clean

Posted by: .ecyrB Jan 4 2010, 02:06 PM

Carhartt- Take a picture of literally anything and use flash. It will look that dirty unless it's wet.

Posted by: Daniel. Jan 4 2010, 02:08 PM
