Why isnt the R31 a meme car like the later models?

>>17329378
Because ricer faggots don't know it exists

>>17329378
Because there is no JEE TEE ARU

It is.

It's basically one of the first cars someone into japanese cars gets when they first start driving.

people want this much for a run down R32 that isnt even the GTR.

R31 ex pace car in bathurst spec.

>>17329388

>>17329393
Nah, you get a VL/ Pintara or a shitty old R31

ke70 and corona are becoming popular now too.

It used to be geminis and commodores in the early 2000s but all the normies like Japanese cars now.

Although geminis are technically Japanese people are too dumb to realise and they are tainted good from the autosalon era.

Yeah but there is the awesome GEE TEE ESS ARU.

Personally I love the R30 and R31 both OP (later models too but that's not the point of it), but like this anon said, lack of GT-R and like another anon, people don't know about it was much as they do the later models.

>RWD only
>No RB26DETT

Pretty simple really.

I like to think that the charade is beating the foxbody mustang

>>17329435

I think he means that it raced but didn't win every single race in a season like the R32

arent they popular dorifto cars?

>>17329445
everyone else crashed when the r32 won.

Probably a good thing too.

My highschool physics teacher drive one of these. He was a ~60 year old Japanese guy and I swear to god we saw him go sideways out of the carpark one day.

>>17332173

I guess it's because they don't look as good or as "Japanese" as the later models.

i just watched a documentary about the 240z where they talked about this.
the japanese took a lot of cues from other car companies.
they don't look similar by accident.

>>17329460
guess they couldn't withstand shingami's side press

Anyone else see a beared man skitching on the back of the car in the thumbnail

R31's were just plain awful. At least the Z31 was a 6 cylinder

>>17334325
dr30>mk3

Learned to drive in an R31, still own it over ten years later. Great fucking car.

>>17334325

The R31 did have a six cylinder though?

>>17329435
haha dude I fucking saw that skyline at Lakeside Raceway on Sunday, I was working in the tower there.

>>17334325
R31 had the RB30 you fucking pleb, are you thinking of the Pintara?

>>17334325
The R31 had plenty of Six cylinder options.

RB20's mostly, various turbo charged versions in the GTS, GTS-X, and not to mention the RB20DET-R for the GTS-R, then for aussie market the RB30 was available as well.

Yeah there were CA18's (SOCH, Carburated ones at that) available on R31 Skylines, as well, but most upper end models had inline sixes, in fact only the most low end models came with them.

Yup. Like the A30 Celicas, basically ripped off Mustangs.

Love the fact they put one in Rush when they were racing at Suzuka.

Every pleb knows about the r31.

They are typically driven by teenagers who recenly graduated public high school and wear their caps backwards.

>>17332112
They litterally did copy american design though.

For example look at how celica lift backs look like mustangs that were designed earlier.

Look at how 70's now lift back celicas look like late 60's camaros.
