Hey Mike, what's up?

Z31NA2T · 07-15-2009, 09:46 PM

Hey Lou, not much :P

Slowlane · 07-16-2009, 06:34 PM

nice dude. does she boogie?

CleanNeon98 · 07-16-2009, 06:38 PM

Interested as well, I saw one at Atco running pretty slow compared to what I expected.

Z31NA2T · 07-16-2009, 06:47 PM

Similar cars run 13s in the 1/4, but I haven't had a chance to get mine to a track yet...

z31 · 07-16-2009, 09:43 PM

Looks good i want to see it when you come down to exton

Z31NA2T · 08-07-2009, 09:15 PM

sooo...since I bought another Z31 and I'm not worried about driving it anymore...now im on to actually fixing the rust. However since I'm moving to PA next week for school (UTI in Exton) I wont be working on it for a bit, except when I visit home occasionally...*sad days* I'm gonna miss seeing this car, I love it so much. LOL

Trying to get **** fixed up. Frame is going to need work, and parts of the floors.

hey theres that turbo kit from my car. When you coming down. I should have room in my garage if you want to work on it here for a fee of course. I am in levittown at the moment. I don't know how far that is from exton but i don't think its too far. Good to see you adapting already.

PaleDSM · 08-10-2009, 03:51 PM

Love these cars. I had a Pewter 86 n/a years ago. Loved that car and kinda wish I never sold it off for a DSM.

zmainiac · 08-10-2009, 06:58 PM

They run mid 15's stock at 5psi with the 7.8 to 1 compression turbo motor. The exhaust is very restrictive and the cats are all pluged by now. With a free flowing exhaust filter and 10 psi you can get into the 13's easily. His 9:1 comp engine should do nicely. Hey mike, there is a shop in jersey that will install and give a street tune with nistune for 500 if you are interested. These cars are tricky to launch and they are open diff unless you have an 87 or newer turbo model.

Z31Fanatic · 08-10-2009, 07:29 PM

That $500 price, does it include the cost of nistune?

zmainiac · 08-10-2009, 08:40 PM

Yes it does. its a pretty sweet deal if you don't have the parts already. they were working on a couple of z31's when i called so they know are cars by now. they are on the nistune site under workshops or something like that. they do a tune and you can bring it back for a month for them to help make changes. I am not sure if you get the software license but maybe. Lou, it looks like i am getting that garage so if you need storage or a place to work on it let me know.

Z31Fanatic · 08-10-2009, 09:01 PM

Mike, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Brian, I may ask you to use your garage for a day. I need to swap my 30A and LSD in soon.

zmainiac · 08-11-2009, 10:26 AM

I will let you know when the lift is up and running.

Z31NA2T · 08-21-2009, 02:21 AM

Holy ****, where'd you guys come from? :P

I'm in West Chester now, been here for about a week. I drove my 84NA though, not the NA2T

I miss that car, and I've only been away for a week. God damn this NA is so slow...

DPancoast · 08-21-2009, 04:20 PM

wow thats so awesome. looks like its coming along good!
