Nissan Skyline R31. Promotional video.

The R31 Skyline of 1986 was a natural evolution on the R30 shape, and also this one was loosely based on the Laurel platform (C32). The design was slightly larger and squarer than previous Skylines. It was available as a Sedan, Hardtop sedan, Coupe and station wagon. Affectionately known as the "Seventhsu" or simply "7th Sukairain" by owners, due to it being the 7th generation Skyline.
The R31 Skyline introduced many new technologies and features. The HR31 was the first Skyline to be equipped with the new RB-series of engines. The R31 RB engines are often referred to as "Red Top" engines because of the red cam covers. There were three variants. The earliest series of DOHC RB engines used the NICS (Nissan Induction Control System) injection system with 12 very small intake runners, and a butterfly system to divide the intake ports in half for better low RPM performance. Later versions used ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System) engine management, discarded the twelve tiny runners for six much larger ones (though they retained twelve ports on the head, so there was a splitter plate), and received a slightly larger turbocharger. Nissan's RD28, a 2.8 straight-6 engine, featured for a diesel option. Another technological first for the R31 was the introduction of Nissan's proprietary 4-wheel steering system, dubbed HICAS (High Capacity Active Steering). The R31 series were also the only models in the Skyline family to feature a 4-door hardtop variation. These models were generally badged as the Passage GT.
The R31 Skyline was also produced in Australia, with a 3.0 L motor (RB30E) available in sedan or wagon form, as well as a four-cylinder version called the Nissan Pintara. The wagon had the same front style as the coupe and sedan-the only difference being that it lacked the four round brake lights that had been a consistent element of Skyline design (except for the R31 series one/two which had rectangular taillights with a solid bar through the centre which was also shared by the Pintara). These cars were manufactured in Australia due to the heavy import laws which made it expensive to bring cars into Australia.
29,305 R31 Skylines were also manufactured and sold in South Africa in 4-door sedan form between 1987 and 1992. These were the last Skylines seen in South Africa. Power came from either the RB30E 3.0 straight-6 motor, RB20E 2.0 straight-6 motor or the CA20S 4-cylinder powerplant.

[@odirmenjivar2076]

Timeline:
- "Toccata and Fugue" in D minor
- "Skyline R31 GTS/ GTS-R" promo (the skyline that re-inspired nissan).
- "Back on the rocks" probably they saw the chance to recreate this ad in the series (they did, when they present Takeshi, camera angles are identical)
- "Bach is Back" used in Battle Digest, a new incarnation of the "referencing the 31 promo" idea.
Funny enough people adopted it as the "GTR" theme, and it started with a half-blood R, since the 31 was a GTS-R not a GTR. The 31's racing victories in Australia was what inspired Nissan to make another GTR, in its next gen... the 32, the rest is history...

You know a car is badass when it’s trailer gets a theme that sounds like Castlevania boss music.

I have much props for the r30 and the r31GTS-R because they were the skylines that began it all with its signature fairly long body. They paved the way for future skylines

Excellent video! I never knew the GT Auto Spoiler was automated, I always thought it was fixed.

It was fixed on the GTS-R homologation road version. Because of Group A regulations banning active aero devices.

The HR31s (JDM) like the 2door GTS (above) came with an RB20DE or RB20DET, the Australian delivered ones like my Silhouette and GTS1 and GTS2 came with an RB30E and the VLs had an RB30E or some came with a RB30ET...
