He just couldn't see himself owning/driving the car after he just bought an 07 WRX and experiencing what fun those are. Personally, I was just blown away over the whole thing. Its kind of wore off now but I still feel kinda guilty or almost like I took advantage of the guy. He even went the extra mile on giving me a really sweet looking bill of sale and every record on the car since it was purchased. He knows what a Z31 freak I am and is really hoping I take good care of it and keep its history extending. I refuse to park this thing on the street so my DD gets stuck out there, lol.

Nice, I have always liked the Z31's since way back when I owned one.

Definitely the best bang for the buck Z cars now a days.

I want a Shiro!

I want a SHIRO BAD! Unfortunately I have a really bad superstition about white cars and everyone thinks I am crazy. One day I might own one again but for now white cars are the devil. DAMN WHITE DEVILS, LOL!

Nice Score!! Whoever that guy is, He is a better friend than you first thought. Keep his number. He'll want rid of that WRX 1 day.:D

 

It looks like an 88, does it have a LSD??

 

I think the turbo's are the only cars that came with the LSD??

Its a 1/87 car, they didnt get them until 4/87. Ironically the last 87 I owned was this vehicles polar opposite condition wise but the exact same build date!

LOL! Yeah the guy is a way cool dude(obviously) he didnt even want the rebuilt auto(30k) after I am done swapping for the 5 speed. The car isnt perfect so I have some busy months ahead after the s30 is running to get this thing up to snuff. Thanks for all the wonderful commets guys, I really do feel lucky to have such a awesome local car comunity! peace.

Haven't really been on here much as I have lost all motivation on my s30. Its slowly being rekindled but I have a whole new engine plan for it(v8).

 

Anyway, this z31 has soaked up ALOT of my time this year just trying to keep it running. lol! This is what happens when you store a car and never drive it, leaks, rattles, and crap failing.

 

This is the most recent work that I have done to it

You bought those intake flanges or made them? They are pretty sweet.

I made them. Currently they're going on the worlds fastest 5 speed z31 as he couldn't wait for the new version to come out. lol.

 

Lynch, it happened about two weeks ago. Boost comes on a lil later and I tried dragging out first and second a lil too much. oh well! I have a newer 75k bottom end going in. peace.
