I'd assume it was a 6 of some sort, I'd say a 2l most likely an RB20E or an RB20DE.

Guess what I'm going to say?
I like that! I agree about it probably being 2-litre, unless it came from some weird export market where it might have CA18 or 20 4-pot, or maybe an RB30 like my old South African R31 Skyline sedan. My brochures are buried under loads of other stuff so can't easily check right now. Even if it was some basic RB20 lump it would still offer the potential for upgrading to RB25 or maybe even RB26 GT-R style if you were brave enough.
It vaguely rings a bell, I recall one minus engine being offered for sale somewhere.
How recent are the pictures? Only asking because the trees are bare and daffodils are growing, and it's not like that in Norfolk (though as we're 3,000 years behind I think the odd season might have got out of kilter, eh Pog?).

Yeah, as everyone has noted by now. It's an R31. It's a pillarless sedan though, so that's something however... At a guess I would say it's an RB20E and Automatic. (SOHC 2litre 6cylinder, with EFi) It's possible it's something else, but that's the most likely scenario. If you're lucky it could be an RB30E, in which case with an RB25DET head and a bit of fettling you have yourself a fantastic sleeper. If you're unlucky, it could be an RD28 or a CA18.
If you're lucky, it could be a Silhouette with PIMP seats! (literally called 'PIMP') ;D

To be honest, that's about all I know about them, I'm not even sure if it's an acronym and if it is, what it's for! I shall find out one day, though the only 31 that interests me is the GTS-R & GTS-X Coupe which don't share the same seats unfortunately, so I'm less likely to find out soon. |
