xsspeed Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Nice, i toyed with getting one to match my z31 before prices jumped but procrastinated too long - hope you got it at a price you liked! Heaps of inspo out there as you will have seen, they are pretty popular in japan and states - easy to do some subtle/reversible things to make them look slick Wheels i always wanted to do on one were big dish 5 spokes like koenigs, these are 18's but i reckon they look good on 17xwide Actually fitment on this looks a bit better 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AALAWS Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Certainly didn't have to pay $40K plus...phew!! I was looking at 18's but the wheels I liked are ex US and super $$ with shipping etc. Will definitely be looking for some dish, maybe even 17's just to keep the comfort. I'll need to start another build thread for my driveway if I lower it - The meeting of the camber of the road and the driveway slope is a killer - I currently have to use my neighbours driveway and drive into mine off the berm ha ha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I had mine reflashed by a guy on a 300zx forum back in the day it instantly made 11psi and did 9l/100k after doing an exhaust Was an absolute joy to own I bought it with a broken trans and nothing else went wrong with it at all after I fixed that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Fuck I love these cars. I've always thought they look far classier than the Toyota supras, mitsi gtslows. I was tempted by one that was picked up by @Slacker_Sam. But I whimped out. Good score. Gonna follow this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1963 AP5 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Mate good score! I used to drive a Z32 2+0 T-Top back in the days before kids arrived. I want another and I am pretty sure in my case it is definitely a midlife crisis thing This was my one 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I saw a pretty similar one driving north through town here the other day. I was driving to the workshop to see how the work on mine was going, and for a sec I thought someone had pinched it already ha ha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Can you block off the iac circuit and see if the idle drops? Have the throttle cables got plenty of slack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it sits at the back of the engine - I'm assuming air flow is from right to left so would you remove the hose between the air regulator and the IAA unit or bypass the everything from before the air regulator? The throttle cables across the plenum seem pretty good - the throttles were closing up nicely when disengaged if that's what you mean?

Chur, had z31 vg30s in mind I've had grit/crap/whatever get stuck in vvti actuators before which messed with timing and idle revs as was getting stuck, could be worth whipping them out for a flush/clean Symptoms were high/slightly tough idle like unmetered air was getting by. I fucked around with IACs for so long before seeing it was a timing/vvti issue This was in an auto and would require heavy breaking at rest to resist rolling fwd as it was loading the torque converter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
