Call me crazy, but I really fancy a Z31. Has anyone on here ever owned one? Have you guys any advise?

 

:cool:

Call me crazy

You're crazy!!!! :tongue: :hurl: :hurl:

 

 

each to their own i guess

:hurl: :hurl: :hurl: not my cup of tea

go for one of the plder zeds instead

 

240

260

280

 

much better looking

240/260 are damn fine lookin motors

even the 280 is better than the Z31!

z31 = duran duran

z32 = stone roses

z31 :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: IMO of course

Call me crazy, but I really fancy a Z31. Has anyone on here ever owned one? Have you guys any advise?

My advice.. dont bother.

I had one a couple of years ago. Early Turbo Manual.

Lacklustre performance (the NA version is even worse and the auto version gets overtaken by Micras.)

Indifferent style.

Parts are as expensive (from Nissan) as Z32s

And all the UK ones are those awful 2+2 Targa versions.As usual the Japs and Uncle Sams men had a choice of a 2 seater and slick top s too. That sharpens them up a little, but still in my opion dull and dated without any of the classic lines of the 240/260Z

Oh dear, the Z31 has got a kicking here.

 

I noticed on Zclub that domtheboyo has just bought one!

 

Good on you Dom...

hi had a z31 1984 never broke down on a run would returne 32 to gallon max speed 160mph did lots of european driving it was turbo manual well maintained good luck to you if you if you get one

200HP V6 N/A, Auto, 2+2, Z31, all electric, cruise control. Overdrive, Induction kit, 5" Exhaust, New Bucket Seats

 

 

 

 

 

 

the only thing is it only goes 118mph at 5,500 revs(Redline) in last gear(AutoBox)

 

It should be well able to do more should it not? :hyper:

Yes but wasn't your turbo seized...Pete!?:D

The later facelift turbo model is a decent car and has reasonable performance if mechanically ok!....It obviously hasn't the speed of a Z32 TT, but will give an NA Z32 a run for it's money and has better mid range performance from the turbo engine!

The styling is very early '80s US and is not to everyones taste though!

Cheerz,

That's gorgeous :D I really like that especially in black :D

Generally I don't like the Z31s, BUT, with a little bit of artistic flair, they can look pretty neat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

thats the same kit thats on mine mate. the work on mine has been mainly on the engine.

I prefer the rear of yours. 86 onwards...the facelift one. Prefer the clustors, looks a bit more modern.

I really like your model though with the single piece rear light cluster

Good, some look truly aweful but with the right wheels, etc i think that shape look great :D

have to sell mate out of work since 9 december and i've a car coming in for the missus that needs vat and duty paid over 5k so have to sell cheap. thats what she cost me to import so i'll go no lower she hasn't even been driven on the roads here yet, shame really. theres one on z-club for 10,250 with similar milage so i'd say she's a bargain. i'm gonna paint the chrome strips black to make her cleaner looking. you should buy her lol i'm only up the road in Tuam

not a great fan of the z31 lines are too sharp for me but that one does look nice, love the wheels, and also to add the bonnet scoop is the one i was thinking about putting on mine but turning them round to face backwards and get rid of some heat, one each side of the bonnet.
