Hey there! My names Josh, came across this website whilst looking at a BMW E12 restoration thread and decided i'd share my car with you all. I am based in Melbourne, Australia and i'm a freelance automotive photographer.
Well thats the (brief) introduction out of the way; time for some pics and specs:
The 'Ti' was the top of the range trim level of the australian produced R31 Skyline (HR31 designates Japanese model); had 15" alloy wheels, only available with an automatic transmission, full electric's, cruise control and were only available as a sedan.

- Full respray in standard nissan HR31 white (including colour coded side mouldings and black pinstripe)
- HR31 'Autospoiler'
- HR31 Roof racks
Brief history of my car:
Previous owner owned it for 8 years; sold it to me after it was flooded.
And then began the rebuild which incorporated a parts car being purchased and usable parts used to repair the R31.
^ parts car before and after being stripped.
With an exhaust manifold fitted to the car (car was previously turbocharged, turbo gear was sold off before I bought the car) it was found that the car was burning coolant; so cylinder head came off, replaced and now the cars burning smoke which we've diagnosed as a leaking injector, so the car is currently sitting awaiting new injectors, fuel pressure regulator, coolant temp. sensor, distributor and ignition leads.
How the car is currently:
^ My car with it's previous owners replacement
Future plans for the car include:
- RB25DET engine swap
- R33 GTS25t 5 Speed Gearbox
- R33 GTS25t 4-pot front brakes
- HR31 front struts
- Coilovers
- Watanabe RS8 wheels + custom lips
- Venetian blinds on rear window
- Sound system
Thanks for looking!
