Only the Touring Turbo with manual gearbox is desirable for enthusiasts. These are rare compared to the automatic NA models. Check for turbo condition, timing belt service history, and rear suspension bushing wear. The A31 is one of the best-value drift platforms available, with RB20DET power and R32 Skyline-derived suspension. Finding a clean, unmolested example requires patience. The manual turbo models are now appreciating as the drift community recognizes their value.
