Sadly enough it still isnt dynoed, only even half tuned. Need someone to drive while I tune, or vice versa. Do love Nistune though still developing but the best alternative for me. Conservative I'd say its close to 300hp/320tq, need a better boost conroller to go past where I am at now. All with a engine with 145k on it.

Old dyno when I was at 10psi and stock fuel. Lots of things have changed since then, should be good for 450ish with this setup once the boost goes higher.

true that do like the 86's. so far I have had 85tauto,86tauto,87na5speed, and have two of the 88SS cars right now. They arent hard to find for the low if you really wanted another. I will rock the z31 forever most likely, goin on 11 years so far lol.

everything worked on her too. Really clean. Had headers too :D
man that car got me in some epic trouble :( I'll own another some day. Just when i can afford one. Ill hopefully be starting my 280z project soon.

Thanks man. Not tryin to steal spotlight from the OP though.
I dont know many people into Z31s. Everybody i talked to when i had mine said they were terrible lolol. but of all the Z cars i have driven, they are my fav. Hopefully i can pick up this 280z i had my eye on and show the west coasters how we do it ATL style.

I love that they talk to you "key is in the ignition" , i had an 86 200sx that did that too. i love that.

the interior of the z31 is great, it's all 80's hi tech looking, like a mini night rider i love it.

nice car tho Shromy :D

"Parking break engaged"
"Key is in ignition"
"Fuel level is low"
"Left/Right door is open"
"Lights are on"
So bad ass.

glwt 280z, but most wind up using the z31 computer setup etc. i love em all though, buddy of mine got out of z31's and stepped into the 370z, fun car to drive but needs a turbo/sc something seems tame. auto rev match is awesome cant fool the thing if you try.

digital dash cars are better IMO. I hate the orange clusters in the cars. You can pick them up cheap though. The coolest part of the Z31 is all the little gadgets that come with

shromy

yeah they were ahead of their time for sure. others tried to copy but it just didnt work as well.

I have alot of respect for these cars, simply since I have the drivetrain out of one. And all the options for these motors are endless it seems.

turbo
3.3 head swap
3.3 head swap with supercharger
cams, headers, and pathfinder intake will give a good 20+hp

shromy
11-23-2009, 10:13 AM
yeah lots of options out there, just no real aftermarket. you can get the simple things but alot of it is DIY.

Me86Rob
11-23-2009, 06:11 PM
I loved my headers. The car sounded GREAT. and just look at that oil pressure after 170k :D

A friend of mine has a 50th anniversary 300zx turbo in his garage with 52k miles on it:eek: Frame damage tho so now its waiting on a donor car.

His dad is "Doctor Z"...i don't know if any of you guys have heard of him.

thats not a typo, NINETY TWO original miles. gorgeous car.

^^ that just amazes me! If i had either one of those cars, there is no way that i would be able to keep from driving it.

The car feels like a space ship inside with all the digital stuff on the dash. I start the 50th anniversary Z everytime i go over there just to keep it nice and charged. I love the sound of that car!

yeah they are fun cars, just a lil(lot) forgot about in the performance arena. but there are quite a few breaking 500whp nowadays, some even over 800.

i have always wanted a white turbo with t-tops. some cars just look so good in white, the z31 being one of them. Explain the new pics, Turbo upgrade?

shromy

man those shiro's are pretty rare.... but unfortunately they are worth a shit in the states.... if you were to take it back to japan id be worth a mint.....
