Mission front, TwinZ rear, and 99 spec sides

Z31's are becoming cooler than S-Chassis to me.

***Future240*** · 07-01-2016, 08:25 AM

This thread has made me look a Z's in a whole nother light.

lunchmeat · 07-01-2016, 12:33 PM

I've never been a big fan of the z31. More into s30s and s130s since my dad and grandfather owned a few. But this thread is making the z31 look damned cool.

simmode1 · 07-01-2016, 01:29 PM

^^^S30 is dope, of course. But I've always felt like the Z31 was the spiritual father to the 180sx, except with T-tops, digi-dash and a stout ass turbo engine from the factory. I mean, the early Z31's come stock with T3 turbos! BPU mods take that old ass motor to 280whp. Send the turbo to Pure Turbos to rebuild it for a relatively cheap/easy 500hp with the right supporting mods. CX Racing (meh) makes an off the shelf V-mount intercooler kit for it...

Plus you can add more displacement swapping the VG30ET for the VG33E from a Pathfinder/Frontier/Exterra . Intake manifold swaps over too. Hell, go with the factory supercharged VG33ER if you want.

Big problem is that junk suspension. The fronts swap with S-Chassis parts pretty easy, but the rear subframe has always been a headache. However, now theres a few S-chassis subframe swap kits available, so that helps some, I guess.

lunchmeat · 07-01-2016, 01:40 PM

I thought about finding a 280zx before I bought my s14. Dropped the idea after I couldn't find one that wasn't a rusted out shit pile. I love me some inline 6.

simmode1 · 07-01-2016, 01:53 PM

Yeah, I much prefer I6 to any other engine configuration too (except for maybe VR6). But the VG30ET is compact & simple enough that I won't complain much.

Wouldn't touch the VG30DETT at all though. No thanks.

You know, some JDM Z31's did come stock with RB20's... RB25 swaps are common as well.

My old Z33

My 350 through the last 11 years.

IIRC, they are origin 20mm. Franklin can correct me if I'm wrong though.

iStayBroke · 08-10-2016, 02:52 PM

Ya they are origin 20mm

simmode1 · 08-10-2016, 03:16 PM

Thanks guys. Had no idea Origin even made parts for the Z32. 20mm is pretty tame though.

*Yuri* · 08-15-2016, 10:13 AM

Wheels, suspension, and exhaust are next.

usdm180sx · 08-15-2016, 10:38 AM

Were you driving on Crescent/Centralia this morning?

Nope. The car needs to be smogged first. It's been off the road for two years.
