Infiniti M30/Nissan Leopard F31...........(R31 skyline for US market).

Yes, somebody painted the bumper cover without using flex agent.

2500 coupes and 2500 convertibles made.

Current engine:   1983 280zx turbo inline six L28et in place of the original VG30 V-6......Turbocharged and intercooled to the tune of 280hp running on a 2001 OBDII nissan frontier engine management system flashed with the supercharged frontier fuel and timing maps.......through a stock exhaust system with catalyst.

This setup passes emissions inspection on the dyno in the state of virginia but the boost is limited by use of flat top pistons but it will run on 87 octane with 7.5 pounds boost with boost recirculation instead of atmospheric blow off valving.

It's very quiet and I haven't gotten a traffic ticket since I traded in bridge ported mazdas for muffled nissan turbo cars in the early 90s.

Previous engine is good for 450hp and works well with a jatco 3n71b sourced from a RX-7 turbo II with 3800 rpm stall convertor but it will probably be swapped back in with a 5 speed.

Turbocharged diesel engine of same inline nissan six family obtained and built for this car is probably going into a 240sx instead though I might spring for a OM606 mercedes turbodiesel.

20 years earlier, I had parked my 1969 SS306 chevelle under this tree in a state park off indrio rd in florida to pull the engine and perform an emergency "roadside" oil pump replacement while in the process of moving to Washington DC from miami.

I had only money enough for gas but had the parts/tools and performed the repair with a come-along during a monster lightning storm.

Is the door shut on the R31, because the rear gap seems awfully large.

It probably wasn't all the way shut which drives me crazy because the seat belt retracts lazily and often inteferes........and there just aren't any replacement parts to be found.

Probably time to get a car that had higher production numbers.

They are still popular in japan even though they closely resemble a front drive camry of the same vintage.

I always liked the Skylines (even though I am a Ford/77-83 Vette lover).   The R33 is my favorite in terms of looks, the R34 is close behind it though.     They don't even need the overdone body mods to look good.

Good info! I've seen those badges but I've never seen one close enough to read it.  Thanks

Cool thread!  :aok



This pic is really old, but it's still my favorite. Only thing I don't like is the faded headlights which have since been replaced. I'll have to put on a fresh coat of wax and go take another one if I ever get a day off work. lol
