[Flicktitty]

Welcome Adam.

Car looks GREAT!

Whats next? Power upgrades?

[adamvann3]

Currently
fabbing seat bracket for the new seat and 4 point
Gauge where radio was: stack boost, innovate xd-16, greddy E-10 screen

To do before summer
3" down pipe
Covert to v-mount cooling
Intercooler, pipes, tial BOV
Nistune
dyno tune with stock t25/fuel
some new exterior modes on the hush

I am basically trying to lay down a foundation of controls to support more power mods later down the road. I am trying to make my goals realistic so I can have car done and in Branson at the end of may.

I dont have a welder nor the power to support one so I am looking for someplace to aid converting to the v-mount, IC pipes ect.... So far nothing has really caught my attention in the milwaukee greater area. Any suggestions?

Nice list, as far as people DW Vinny does great work, he is on JDMC. or contact Ron @ Clocks Off racing. he is on Brewcitymuscle.com alot. he does some amazing fab work.

Like the work I see out of Vinny, but he seems to disappear for long periods of time, and seems to take a while to finish some projects. I know he is one man show, but I need better customer service than that.

Ill look in to Clocks off racing

Got a little bit of spring fever

[DeleriousZ]

Adam are those just z32 brakes up front or do you have an adapter on there with larger rotors?

[Soulless]

Car looks great no matter what forum its on.

[adamvann3]

I am running SPL z32 adapters (shimmed) with the 350z track rotors (12.76"). I wanted something better that also filled up the gap.

The adapters and calipers will be up for sale in the next few months.

Car looks great no matter what forum its on.

Thanks. I should be tackling some underhood performance come spring. Stock power just isnt going to cut it anymore.

[Soulless]

At least you had a turbo to start with. Im stuck with an auto NA car.

[Om1kron]

very awesome

[adamvann3]

At least you had a turbo to start with. Im stuck with an auto NA car.

Well, the crossmember will probably be the only thing left from the original turbo parts after this summer. Well and the 8.3:1 motor.

I also have a 86NA auto 2+2 that has been swapped for a low mile motor, 71c trans and has every bolt on suspension upgrade possible except rear poly in the control arms. I dont think I have any current pics, but its the back up summer whip when the shiro is being worked on. That was my 1st Z and first car I ever did anything too. Great learning experience.

very awesome

Thanks

Hmm interseting, my stock z32 rotors are going to look itty bitty under my 18's, might have to hook it up ;)

[JZ33]

i have a question... in your first post, in your suspension, it looks like there is a spacer of some sort in between the lower arm and the spindle (i think thats what it is called but im sorry if im wrong). i was wondering what the purpose of that is? to maintain geometry or help lower it more? sorry if its a stupid question i have never seen that before and depending on what it is hoping i can use it on my 280z...

Good question. You nailed it, to help maintain geometry.

[JZ33]

awesome thanks! nice build by the way looks amazing!

[adamvann3]

awesome thanks! nice build by the way looks amazing!

Let me know if you need any suspension help. I have done a fair amount of research, work and have worked with my friends s30, so I am familiar with the system.

[JZ33]

well as far as suspension goes i dont know many options... any info is appreciated but a PM might be better so as not to clutter up your thread....

Great car.I am the owner of an s14,and my dad went ahead and bought a z31 with his tax return.I want it even though its a single overhead...bet its hella fun to drive.

[JayDee M Rolly]

this just makes me want one of these

[adamvann3]

Thanks. Started up the car and pulled it out of the garage on sat. Probably the earliest I have gotten around to the car over the years.

Spent a good portion the start of the day installing the seat. Turned out to be a jigsaw puzzle with the seat rails I fabbed up to ensure it was mounted low enough in the car. Everything eventually got squared away and I am very pleased. Its great to have a seat with high bolsters. I will probably get at the harness during the week. I bought all the hardware and drilled all the holes, but just ran out of motivation.

Ill dust off the camera and take some proper pictures once the interior is buttoned back together. Re-designed the short shifter/new shift boot, and some Ti hardware needs to go in yet. For now shitty cell phone pics will have to do

[adamvann3]

My previous brake setup was 350z track rotor with z32tt calipers. All in all the setup worked well, filled the gap and performed.

However it was still z32 calipers and everyone uses them. After some calculations, research and help from the zilvia brake threads I tossed together new wilwood superlites, 350z track rotor, flex lines and new caliper spacer/hardware. Setup mechanically went together very nicely. Had a few issues getting all the air out of everything but eventually got over the hurdle. I am still running the stock z31 BMC. Pedal is softer and goes nearly the full travel distance. I will have better feel once I bed the pad and do some high speed stopping. I have a feeling I will be upgrading to the 1 1/16 BMC to get a better pedal feel. Just a little uneasy about it now.

Crappy cell phone pic for now from fitment. Will get better ones of everything soon.

Beeftastic. I get weird itches for owning a Z31 sometimes.

I long for the day I can get my coilovers on. Did you run into any snags during the tube installation?

[adamvann3]

Beeftastic. I get weird itches for owning a Z31 sometimes.

Nope. Was a pretty straight forward cut and weld scenario. I was a little skeptical when I started it but I x-rayed the welds and there is great penetration.

From ppls past builds they always ran into a problem with not being able to get the fronts low enough. So I paid extra close attention in making sure everything I did focused on making it low as possible. Said and done I can lay the upper fender frame on top of the tire.

I cut my tubes down to 4mm then beveled the hell out of my new spindle tube to ensure good penetration (double pass, stitch weld style) to the original tube and casting. If I were to do it again I would leave 10mm of original tube and not grind down the casting nub and use it as a spacer. Then make the 1st pass weld to the original tube, second pass to the casting. That is a much safer approach to take.

Also be sure to preheat your casting before you weld. The new spindle tubes heat up quick with welding and having the original spindles a high temperature makes everything easier.

[gunmetalr32]

i never liked these cars.. but you made this car look great.. my dad has always had one..

[S30TurboZ]

That is a beautiful Z31! I've always wanted to build a Shiro.

Are you going to colormatch the hood/lip/wheels?

[adamvann3]

Hood is going to stay raw. Twill double weave CF is way to nice to paint match. Front end needs a re-spray in which the lip will be color matched.

I am revisiting my rear suspension in the spring and adding adjustable heim joints to the LCAs to correct caster and toe. As for the wheels... you will just have to wait what 2k12 brings

Briefly moved down to SC for work this past winter. Just brought the DD, but still had fun. I drove the tail of the dragon on my way back up in march.

Fast forward a few months, I had most of my hybrid BBK left over after upgrading the shiro. Instead of doing the smart thing and sell it, I re-purposed for my 86 (oh i have an 86 z31 that I have owned for the past 9yrs).

Dont have any before shot, but these are the iron 30mm calipers... they looked like hell. Took them apart and gave them a chemical bath

Since the Shiro we feeling neglected I ordered a set of wheels. Took a few months to get them, and then I left them in their boxes for months. I got sick of having them in my living space, so I built a wheel rack.

Ordering one off the internet is for the weak. Picked up some extruded aluminum cut it down to size and had it welded up.

[Flicktitty]

Cars looking good Adam, looking forward to seeing whats next, woulda been nice to talk to you a little more a few weeks ago.

[adamvann3]

Thanks. All I really see is getting the LXZ's on and doing a bit more driving next year. Been a roller coaster ride with Weds this summer trying to figure out to do with the unbalanced wheel. Everything worked itself out, but pretty late in the season before it was resolved. It was good seeing you and Liz this weekend, first time I really had the car at any sort of gathering or event this summer.

Ill have the car out this weekend weather permitting. Maybe Ill catch you out.

+1 on what ^ said.
Although I usually despise the late model z31's looks, this is definitely an exception. Clean, well put together, originality. Love it, subbed, and can't wait for future updates.

I wish there were more clean Z31s like this one, very nice car. Most of these I see are shot.

Thanks! Yeah every year it becomes harder to find clean chassis. More so than not you will see someone older sell their baby they bough brand new in the 80s (normally asking a ton for it).


I have been putting in a decent amount of work on the car since the new year. I'll post up when the car is coming back together and get some new decent pictures.

S-chassis gurus. Is there any difference in s13 rear calipers between years and models?
