My new 1985 Nissan 300ZX Z31 Turbo Manual T-Bar
Discussion
Well I have a new car alongside my 81 KE70!!
This is my New (old) 1985 Z31 turbo manual that I found on the PH Classifieds and picked up last week!
I fancied something fast, old, Jap, RWD and different and this ticks the boxes!!! I missed the performance close to my S14 but I didnt want to break the bank or have the same car again!
Its got 56000 on the clock, loads of history and MOT, clean and tidy for its age and perfect for the summer!
I spent 4 hours driving it back home and it didnt miss a beat! Not bad on fuel either really!
Im probably gonna get it to stage 1, with a few small styling mods and then just enjoy it over the summer with the roof off.............. Avators at the ready LOL
Anyway heres the pics of when I first got it...............................
And heres some more pics from the last week...................
The car on the rollers in Plymouth:
Old meets even older...... my mates dads Morris.....
Some better shots I took one evening:
My Pre-facelift with a local guys facelift...... probably the only 2 in Plymouth.........
Engine shot with my new K&N Filter:
A few from my mates field...
Magnum PI Stylee LOL
Well I randomly had my car on the rolling road for a power run as I know some peeps there!!
The car standard and new 23 years ago should have a book figure of 228bhp and 242 lb·ft
My Car, 23 years old and still standard with 56000 on the clock (before I fitted the filter)............
HP/Torque Graph
HP/Boost Graph
Thats 221.3 HP and 250 lb-ft at less than 0.5bar boost
Happy with that

If you don't mind, the cost to buy? Great roller results for an od car. Bet you had fun on the field with all that torque and RWD
Well it was advertised for £1200 but I got it in the end for £950 Its a lot of car for the money!!!
I couldnt play in the field as the area is used as a Heliport belonging to my mates boss!! Dammit lol

Ive been having a play today and going through some of my spare "drifty" wheels I had on my S14 and seeing what they would look like on the Zed!
Heres my pride and Joy Volk GT-N Split rims..........
And my spare set of Rays Versus rims............
Ive also got a set of TSW Imolas but they dont compare to the other 2 sets lol
