Nice pics but no stock white wheels?!?!?!?!?

These cars are so easy to work on, just watch out for those pesky fusible links. I have had issues with them on all 4 of my Zs. Thankfully, the Z31s beefed on the gauge on them over the S30s so they are a bit harder to pop, but they are usually one of the first things I replace after getting a new Z.

Ohhhh, and do the timing belt ASAP. Don't rely on when someone told you when it was done, just go and do it. It's cheap and easy to do.

I have the stock white wheels...they just are flat and need new tires.

Engine and bay looks really clean! but the owner said that it was knocking but never really looked into it. I have the extra motor which will go in after i do the seals, gaskets and t-belt.

Yea yea yea laugh it up. Stupid mean Nissan owners! Lol.

Bates never gets to have nice Zs. They are always rusty, and the blower motors never work right, and the T-tops always leak. Why in the hell do I love Z31s so much again?

Between the Shiro that has been sitting for years a town away, and my friend's 89T that has been refreshed, painted, and dynomatted that has been sitting in pieces in his garage since we were in HS like 10 years ago that he won't sell to me, I am about ready to give up on finding my perfect Z (Doesn't alter the fact that I could buy an NA model for 700$ right now if I wanted, and I might...).

I already lost my mind when I decided not to jump on a RHD slicktop model that was in a junkyard about an hour away from me. But it is all good, I still love it when I see other people who appreciate these awesome cars. Pardon me while I go look at 200ZRs I want to import but can't afford right now...Lol.

Hey good news...i did work on the Datsun last night...lol gonna bolt down some seats and see what we have soon! after i get some help bleeding the back brakes

[Jerry88ss]

I do too....thinking about just clearing it like that and if i paint it i might just do a pearl white plastic dip for ****s and giggles

[Bates]

The lack of Z31 updates disturbs me. ;)

[empera]

Lol Bates....well gift received! She loves it of course. We got down to the shop about a week after i gave her the keys and such and we started to work on it a little but it has been ****ing cold so everything is on hold. That last one is showing me helping remove the front bumper.

[Bates]

I don't know... That doesn't look like the face of someone who loves it. Looks like she despises it deeply and wants nothing to do with it. Almost seems like her face is saying, "We should just sell this to someone in NJ". That's just my observation, I could be wrong.

Lol, yea the cold really just screws up plans. Glad she digs it. Who wouldn't dig a Shiro!

[empera]

Lol hey man, at least i can have her bring it to the nissan/datsun meets and i can bring the datsun ;)

will keep this thread updated on both builds/projects!

Great! I can spurn it in person, then I will walk back to my Juke... sulking in a jealous rage the entire way.

Who wants a Shiro anyway!?!?!?! I have a Juke! Yea!! Awesome...toad looking crossover thing... IT HAS MORE POWAH THAN THE SHIRO! So yea, I got that going for me.

/Goes back to craigslist to find a Z31

Hate this thread!

[empera]

haha no worries you have mad respect on that Juke Build, only issue with jukes is that front end...wish they would've made it more appealing....

The lower front fascia is appalling. The Nismos front is much nicer as is the Kenstyle front. Only problems with those are, the Nismo lower front requires quite a bit of other Nismo pieces for it to work on a non-Nismo, the Nismo and the Kenstyle are both quite expensive, and I don't know if either will clear my front mount without cutting. My stock lower fascia had to be cut.

I think I might see about getting something custom done since it is not a huge piece.

This is the Kenstyle.

[empera]

it just looks like to cars mashed together...nissan sandwich

[Bates]

I love the overall look of the car. It's so funky and different. It doesn't look like anything else on the road. That's why I got it...that and because I wanted boost again and I only buy Nissan...and I can't afford a GTR... so yea my options were limited. I nearly got a Speed3 but in my heart I knew I wanted to stay Nissan.

[empera]

Only Mazda i would get is an FD lol

But yea it def. is unique.
