The adjustable suspension also went out. Plus so many of the parts were dealer only parts which cost alot of money. ($250 for power window button). When I finally got rid of mine it needed alot of work and just wasnt worth it. (speedometer didnt work, convertible top needed replaced, exhaust leak, power window motor gone, etc.) Also the convertibles were not from the factory they were sent to some company in california to be converted which lead to alot of problems with them leaking etc. They came with a boot to cover the top when you put it down which used small snap buttons to hold it down so most people lost the boots soon after getting the car. (cost me $400 to buy a new one)
so if I can offer any knowledge on the car let me know. Its been almost 3yrs since I owned it so I might get a couple things wrong
it takes a competant mechanic to replace a stud on a head?










m30's are cool. however the floorpans tend to not get along with the subframe if you drift it a lot. all s13 stuff goes on for the most part, a z31 manual tranny and s13 pedals work to make 5 speed.

j30's you can use all the z32 stuff. coilovers from an s13 also fit a j30, but none of the other links except tc rods.

both came with vg's , which if you know how to fabricate and do wiring, a VQ, VK, lsjuan, 13b, whatever will fit. theres plent of room in the engine bay.
