Hi all, yes another newbie!!! My name is Lee from bristol,I have had z cars in my family since the eightees. From 240s 260s a z31 a z32tt and a 350z.

 

I am just looking for inspiration for my z31 na.This car has been in my family since 1988.Purchased by my late father (it was a demonstrator so only a few months old) The car has been off the road and mostly dry stored since 2001 and was left to me in 2005. It now requires full overhaul.

I have done very little due to other commitments but now is time to get stuck in!!!

I want to keep it looking stock apart from a set of large rims and subtle mods but want it be super quick.

Its been in my family for so long i will never sell it so this will be a long term project with the best of everything i can afford. I would love to fit a z32tt,

rb26 or

v8 twin turbo or even rebuild and turbo the existing lump.

Any photos, inspiration or advice on the engine conversion or rebuild would be appreciated.

Thanks Lee

Hows the tv shop going Mate,You sold the silver tt to a knob who doesnt honour his promises.i did some work on the car as it had a boost leak and was in safety boost.Twat promised to get me some beers then made constant excuses after :censored:

Hi Jimmer,

Buisiness a bit slow at the moment but struggling on!! UMMMM good job were not all the same as alex!!!! Do you think you can do something with my z31. Its been stood so long it needs either a engine swap or a rebuild. Wouldnt mind a tt conversion???? i have seen it done but its a bit tricky for me!!! Have you tried this conversion yet? or could you rebuild the z31na engine ready for a big single turbo?

Hi pbryant knight, thanks for the welcome.Got some pics somewhere on my old pc,Must get around to getting them off and on to this pc. Car is nothing to look at as it is.It was met grey but i painted it black with a red metalflake looked great in the garage but turned brown in sunlight!!!! So flatted it down and paint is jet black!!! Will get some on soon.Lee

Welcome mate, I love the smooth rear lip. :thumbup:

Thanks pablito, Regret selling it now!!! Was skint so had to go! will do another one day but a proper strosek wide arch version.

Welcome to the club and hope you get the Z31 sorted, not many left now:thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome gary, Im in no rush to do the z31 as i want it to be right so will be a while before its street legal and usable.

Hi Lee and welcome, where are you based in Bristol?

 

You say you had 260's in the eighties, we also ran 4 260z 2str late eighties did you ever go to any meets back then?

 

What colour was your 260 [thought we knew all owners back then]

 

Any how good luck with your project, and may bump into you one day

 

Regards

 

Dave

Welcome matey :)

Hi Yewcheck, Im Based in bishopsworth bristol, The 260 was owned by my uncle(as i was too young to drive back then) it started electric blue with wolfrace slots and loads of 70s pinstripes then ended up white with a 1 piece targa one off bodykit and a janspeed turbo conversion(that never worked properly so was eventually removed) I did go to a couple of meets with the old man in the z31 early 90s but thats about it. Also there were two of my dads mates that had red 240zeds converted to small block chevy power.One had ferrari taillights.Both were really clean.One was found to be the car used in one of the haynes manuals,The owner was considering putting it back to original as he was informed it could be quite valueble ir returned to stock, Im not sure if he ever did.

Hi daveb1971 thanks for the welcome.

Hello mate.

 

Welcome to the club. Hope your project works out for you and all goes well.

 

Look forward to seeing some pics of the z31:thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome Craig tt, I will get some pics on soon (it doesnt look much at the mo)and its covered in cardboard boxes!! Difficult to get parts for this car so its gonna be a slow process i think.

Welcome bud, hope you can attend a few meets in the future :)

Thanks for the welcome murt, I will do even if it without the car for now! Once work picks up a bit and ive got some dosh i will probably see if jimmer can do a rebuild or something, It needs a lot of work so not a weekend job!

We sold a metallic blue on with wolfies on to a guy in bishopsworth, but as far as i am aware he still has it.

 

I put a janspeed turbo conversion on mine worked fine:tt2:

 

Look in my rides section the turbo one is on there bad quality pic though:crying:

Welcome to the club EnzoTT....
