Let me know in the comments why you think they’re the underrated skyline!

only skyline that wont make me dead broke finding a manual

i dont think they're underrated, i think its more because they're overpriced for what you get nowadays

Had an 87 Silhouette in the early 2000's. Bought a wrecked VL BT1 Turbo, put that motor in front of the '31 manual & had Rajab Brothers work their magic. Sadly, the '31 Silhouette was far too rusted in the A pillars & sills for NSW rego; bought a gold coloured wagon for $300 from a wrecker, moved 98% of everything from sedan to wagon, added the 1990 front end (could still buy NOS back then, at the Nissan dealer in Inverell, NSW) and had fun. Was a great cruiser. Edit: Still have the Nissan Owners Club keyring, the Silhouette badge from the steering wheel and the Silhouette VIN plate somewhere in the shed!

We never got R31 skylines in the uk and ever since i saw one of your videos i have been wanting to come to australia to find one to import, definitely one of my dream cars!

Cheers man! It’ll be good to fund some things for sure haha

The Aussie R31's are awesome cars. I love my GTS2 gives me a massive grin every time I get in it. I remember meeting you a couple months ago at a random meet at thats alotta donuts and thought your R31 was sweet. Very random your channel popped up in my KZread feed.

Yep that's me! Hopefully see ya around at some other meets

Mate! Awesome video. I loved seeing the inside of the cars. Awesome

Digging the maroon TI, manual turbo sleeper, slightly lowered would be nuts

The r31 is what brought me to this channel originally a few years ago. 😍 I think during the refresh of "washing machine" 😁 Defo one of the most un-loved/unknown skylines.. hopefully it stays that way until I can get my hands on one 🤣

Ayy cheers for hanging around that long legend haha, you’ll have one soon man!

Underrated because they are first gen of skyline, and because as soon as the 32 came out, with what that could do, people forgot the 31 even existed, still great cars bro

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 31 coupe also love the video Marc the maroon 31 is so clean

i wish i could get my hands on a 180 like the one in ur back ground hehe

Sick video mate. My cousin has 2 31 silo's, factory manual that he used to regular at Winton back in the day. Will your first 31 get boost in the future? I have a 85 RMR30 Ti hatch.

Cheers mate! That’s awesome, Winton is where 31’s belong aye haha. Yeah the red one is definitely getting a turbo asap!

G'day my good friend Marc. Pleased to hear that you like to keep pretty much all of your interior in grandpa spec stock sort of condition, particularly your gearknobs. Just out of interest, does that mean you might put a manual gear shifter stock Gearknob/AU Fairmont? My AU Ford is still going well too touch wood. My, campervan isn't going to be ready this week, probably not until the end of the year. But it is getting closer.

Gday mate! Yeah love my stock interiors, if I can get my hands on a stock shif knob for the AU I’ll definitely run one. At least you’ll get it back before the end of the year it’s only a few weeks away! 🙏

Would love an R31! Need one next to my 120Y at some point 👌🏻

Definitely staying stock mate 👌

Would really love a 31. the coupes are one of the cars i would kill to find cheap. hell. i still look at HR31. the best thing imo. are the rear tail lights. they look soo fuckin good at night. in the future. would love a ti. Still think that they should have made a gts turbo or a Silhouette turbo. they had the engine. it fits. mad that they never did one. would have made the 31 more popular then they are now.

@Marc180sx

Coupes are definitely the one to have! The lights are so iconic 👌 Would be so sick if they made an Aus del turbo, would be VL turbo prices now I reckon haha

Personally not a fan of the 31 coupes, much prefer Australian sedans tbh.

@@Marc180sx yep for sure!

if your being honest the r31 was never really a great car in its own right, they will always be in the shadow of the infamous Godzilla R32 GTRs that where dominate over the emissions clogged 90hp v8 holdens and lawnmower engine sierras. they where great as low budget rear drive semi sporty sleeper cars but now with the price inflating even that's going away unfortunately. now P plater hoons pay dumb prices for them just to wrap them around trees inflating prices even more. the r30 is my car, especially the early Japanese coupes with the fender mounted mirrors and such. but they to where dogs when it came to performance. the real underrated skyline is the r33, it has similar performance to the r32 but is overlooked for 32/34s.
