Welcome. Glad to inspire!

Awesome! Yeah I don't see me getting rid of mine since I put so much work into it. It's a one of a kind now. As far as the struts go I don't know of any at the moment that are adjustable. I just opted for the coilovers but you have to weld the knuckles on them. I believe powertrix has the option to send in your knuckles and they provide the service. Techno tuning has the same options as well. Google search would be a good way to see if there is anything available. Thank you for the compliment!

@@importmodify Thanks for the comeback! I have seen a few videos on coilovers which may be the way I need to go, but would like to stay as close to stock as I can. I think Koni use to make a "cut a strut" where you cut the housing and insert a perfect fitting cartridge inside and reapply the housing(either non or manually adjustable). Lost my Z guy/shop (Covid) and have to find a new Z guy that knows his stuff. Not easy Seattle area. Know anyone up in this neck of the woods LMK? Thanks

Thank you! Yeah it's slowly growing. Yours is as well!

@@importmodify keep up the hard work we are supporting from las vegas

Thank you so much!

Bad ass man! I'm stoked that I made such an impact on your decision! Glad my build helped you and glad you like the channel! I'll follow you for sure!

Thanks for the advice. My buddy already has a megasquirt 3. That's why I mentioned it. What haltec you running?

Thanks and glad you love the build.

I use a Haltec 2500 which I know is the most expensive model they do, but does offer the most flexibility and has given me fly by wire using one of the z34 TB’s and fully sequential injection also using 6 Z34 coils. I live in the U.K. and there are only 16 turbo cars left and 29 N/A’s. So trying to get parts is a real struggle, unless you go direct to Japan where around 95% of the parts are still available. So for me the Haltec was a no brainer, it also has a 28 psi map sensor built in, so I have deleted that troublesome MAF. Please don’t think I am knocking the Megasquirt they are a really great mod and work brilliantly, but the Haltec makes turbo upgrades and tuning very very easy. I have watched you build from the beginning, the Z31 is my favourite Z car I have loved ever episode and wish you all the best

Yeah those are expensive. I'm getting one for the rb z32. I already bought the wiring speciality harness with the haltech connectors.

The harness makes it a easier job. I had to take the Z31 EFI harness remove all the wires I didn’t want and re-use some of the existing wires for another purpose, such as air inlet sensor, tps and a Wideband sensor. The only complicated part was the crank angle sensor but Scott at Haltec sent me some Nissan CAS layouts and the Z31 is the same as the Skyline R31, which really helped. My Z31 is now in many parts as it is going through a complete restoration and thanks to you I purchased a Prothane bush kit which will be installed when the paint is finished and the rebuild starts, I do envy you as I cannot drive mine yet. But I do also have a Nissan NX coupe that I drive around😁😁

Thank you for the compliment, yeah I'm getting alot of people asking me for a a parts list. I'm thinking about putting together a list but most of my parts where bought through eBay so I need to find listing to leave links. I might be interested in building one for a customer for the right price.

Awesome

Yeah I know in the video I said chassis stiffness but I was really referring to suspension. Yeah these 80 cars will never be stiff like the newer cars. I can tell a difference with the poly bushings but should be alot stiffer with the hiem joints. Glad you love the build series. Thanks for watching.

@@importmodify I remember way back in the day a Z in sports compact car they found a z31 with a solid roof in a junkyard and actually welded it on to their project car. I'd rather have the t-tops though.

absolutely yes got to have the t-tops its a blast cruzing around with them off.

It's custom the turbo is from maxspeedingrods. Custom exhaust, stock manifolds. Check my Playlist for the full build.

I plan on reaching out and seeing how much to dyno after I put in the megasquirt because I need to be able to tune the ignition tables that is where I can make the real power.

@@importmodify maybe 280

Probably close to that.

haha I will eventually.

Yeah see how it works out for me. Makes sense.

Understand, slowly parts are being made and these Z31s are becoming more popular.

@@importmodify . Yep imma buy a super low mileage one but the rx7 is main priority because of their prices. I will always love the z31 though

Hi aftermarket in the U.S. is quite good there are quite a few retailers stocking z31 parts like the Z store however 95% of all the parts are still available in Japan and used parts and accessories are available from companies like superbach or up garage in all the major cities in Japan. You could also contact a guy called Rob in Matsusaka his business is called import monster he can get you virtually anything you wan

Sorry I do not. I had mine custom made. I used universal intercooler piping 2.5" for the intake. I'm running straight pipe with custom down pipe. 2.5". A custom exhaust shop can help you with that. If your handy with a welder you can get your stainless steel piping off ebay. Hope this helps.

Haha thanks for thinking it's going to blow up.

stock vg30et from a 84 i believe the original engine was blown

Around 7k total including the purchase of the car

That’s great thank you very much. I’m looking at these right now and can’t make up my mind on whether or not to get one.

Go for it! Stand out on a budget!
